Update - 31/10/2021

Happy Halloween, everyone! We have two new members this week: Jesse Burciaga, and the incredible Alan Bahr, from Gallant Knight Games! Who is, by the way, running a new crowdfunding campaign for their new game, Carrion Lands! I think it looks amazing, and on top of that if everything goes as planned I will be working on solo tools for it! So go and back it, if you haven't already! 

So how was your week? I'm slowly working my way towards completing Path of the Aram Thyr, which is essentially done already (took me quite longer to figure out what to do with the enemy stat block though, since it has to be flexible and scalable). I've also worked a bit on some Empire Undying ideas, mostly still compiling them to see how I tackle the many problems I still have to solve. I've also been busy preparing all the details for Sacrifice's PoD release on DTRPG (with the expansion), and mulling over a potential second companion. Most likely it will happen, because I have these ideas for it:

- Inquisitor and Akelian Wardancer starting occupations

- Mass battle rules

- Faction rules

- Mercenary company management rules

These are things I'd like to introduce but I'm not promising anything! Before this happens though, the scenario compilation will be released, guaranteed. It seems the vast majority of you (according to the last poll results) are actually happy I released Sacrifice, so I'm feeling less stressed about continuing working on it. It's a fun game to write for!

I've also been dealing with quite a lot of people asking about Across a Thousand Dead Worlds; I understand they are getting upset but at this point the only thing we can all do is wait for Phil to be done, unfortunately. I had hoped he would be finished at this point, so I really hope he is really done, before people start actually losing their patience. It's probably the worst part of working on games, having to deal with people who have all the right to be angry yet still not having much to tell them... I really want this game to be released because I'm excited to start working on the next chapter! At this rate I'll be done with Under Ashen Skies before it's even out though. I've been slowly chipping away at it and it's getting to a nice place! I'm happy I'm working on this again (even if it's not more than a couple of hours a week), it should be a really fun game once it's done!

This week is probably going to be the least productive week of my life: my partner is finally returning home, after 4 months of visiting her mother in their country. She is bringing her mother with her, but we don't have room at our apartment so I've rented her a small place for her. It's down the road so it's really fantastic in that sense, but it's certainly putting a lot of financial pressure on me. We can't leave her alone any longer though, she's almost 80 and she needs someone to take care of her, and unfortunately, we are the only ones left. I'm very happy to have my partner back home (and her mother too, she's really nice), but this means this week I'll be going back and forth from her apartment, setting up the new furniture we had to buy, and all the usual stuff that involves moving into a new, empty place. I should be done by the end of the week, hopefully! Which should be perfect timing cause on Friday we'll be watching The Wake live! Had the tickets for months now, can't wait!

So yeah, I'll squeeze as much writing as I can into this week, but it's probably going to be a slow one in that sense. Hope you all have a great week!
