Update - 23/08/2021

Hello! So how was your weekend? I didn't do much, Friday night I had dinner with some family but that's about it, unfortunately no RPG time this weekend. I had hoped to play some Ruin Masters solo but I ended up not having time for it.

So this last week I've been again completely focused on the new Faction content for Seekers Beyond the Shroud. The more I get into it, the more I discover I need to work on extra stuff, so it's becoming a rabbit hole. I've also scrapped an initial stat system I had for the factions and ended up developing a new one that is a bit more complex but I hope more satisfying. All Factions are after the same resources: Intel, Magic, Alliances, and Wealth. Spending these resources, a Faction can increase their Attributes: Means, Power, and Numbers. Through the use of a Faction's Attributes they can achieve things, such as attacking other factions, or spending them to gain certain Advantages. All this is done during the Faction Turn, which happens each 2 in-game weeks. I think it's pretty straight forward, and it's a fun mini game that should make the world feel more alive!

With the re-release of both Disciples and Seekers, I've also been extremely busy answering tons of questions, via Discord, Reddit, Twitter and email. I love the new surge of players discovering the games for the first time! I'm guessing a lot of people are spending their holidays reading the game now because this week I must have answered at least 20 messages with different questions. At this rate I'm going to need customer service, haha.

So this starting week I'll hopefully be ready to upload the new Patreon content, and if the folks over at Flatland games answer me some crucial questions, finally wrap up the Through Sunken Lands design. Which would mean I can finally focus once again of Across a Thousand Dead Worlds. I actually did work on it a bit, but it was mostly adding or refining some details to the rules here and there, nothing major. 

Last but not least, I've finally laid out the new random tables and other minor fixes and additions to the GM Emulation chapter for Seekers. You can find the original post with the new file attached here! https://www.patreon.com/posts/45294876 

So that's it for this week's update, hope everyone is having a nice last days of August, personally I can't wait for it to be over cause the heat is unbearable!
