Update - 22/08/2022

Hello, everyone! Before we begin, let's welcome our newest member: TotallyJackedUp! Welcome to the Order!

This is another slow week, since all I've been doing is working on the layout for the first half of the Empire Undying core rules. It should be up here for you guys very, very soon. Most of it will be familiar to those that playtested Across a Thousand Dead Worlds, but you'll also notice how I've refined and adapted a lot of the systems, removing some things and adding others. So far I'm super happy with all of it, let's see how it works once we put it all together and start testing! Theoretically, once the full Core Rules chapter is up, you could play the game, albeit without any of the things that make it interesting, namely the setting and tools to actually create a gaming session. But you could use the rules and play with them in any other setting, for sure. 

Aside from that, I've also been dealing with some background stuff for ATDW, mostly trying to see how much more expensive printing the books is going to be. We will not know the final answer until we know the page count, but one thing is for sure: it's going to be more expensive than what they originally told me, since prices have gone up. It sucks, but it is what it is. I just hope they don't ask for too much, or it's going to be a problem... I'll keep you guys posted.

I've continued developing some stuff for Sacrifice as well, smaller things like adding new Feats, new combat options, some lore and enemies, and little things like that that I want to include in the game's first expansion. I continue having fun with this, and since I work on it no more than 20 minutes a day, it's fun and refreshing. I was also interviewed about the game, first by the Wobbles and Wizards podcast (still haven't aired though), and the Youtube channel Mildra the Monk. You can check the video here!

So that's it for now, once the new EU content is up here on Patreon I will continue working on finalizing that same chapter. That means adding the Sorcery rules (which is probably going to take me quite a bit), and other things like that. All the rules for generating the districts, delves, and wilderness exploration will be part of the next chapter. I'd say everything is moving along very nicely, though! At this rate the game will be done early next year, which is awesome. 

So that's it for now, hope everyone has a great week!
