Update - 15/05/2023

Hello, everyone, how was your weekend? today's a holiday here in Madrid, which doesn't really mean much for me since I work from home, but I will have a nice, 4 hour session of D&D later today so that's something! These last few days I've been working on a few fronts:

- First and foremost, the Across a Thousand Dead Worlds PDF is finally complete, and the first version of the print files have been sent to the printer for their approval. I expect them to throw it back at our faces with disgust, but that's just part of the process. In all seriousness, I do expect them to complain about this or that color not matching the pantone they use... We'll see!

- Broken Shores (AKA Godshard) is back on sale in PDF format, and PoD via amazon. The DTRPG PoD copies still need to be approved, but it should happen soon. It's great, cause a lot of people were asking for it, let's hope the game didn't lose any momentum!

- Riftbreakers is doing pretty well, and I've spent a lot of time answering questions about it all over the Internet. You'd be surprised by the amount of hours I dedicate every day to community stuff... I wish I could hire a community manager. Even though I actually enjoy engaging with "fans" (sounds silly to use that word, but "customers" doesn't feel right either), I would be much more productive if I could just write and forget about everything else.

- Most of my time has gone to working on Warlord Ascendant, as expected. I'm spending a stupid amount of time worrying about the book's organization; I don't know if it's best to have the Management Phase stuff before the Battle Phase stuff, or vice versa. For now I have the battle phase in front, but we'll see... I've also scrapped 3 different balance systems already, but I think I finally have one I like. So not very productive stuff when it comes to actual content, but really necessary to get things right. The more I think about it, the more I want the game to launch with PoD cards, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger and ask Glynn to go ahead and start designing them. I have all the text for the cards already (it would all be Command Actions and Combat Maneuvers), and if there's something to fix before the game's released, it's easily done. I do think I will not be able to finish the game this month, though.

- This ties with the last thing I've worked on this week: this month's Patreon content. As you know, I wrote that little resource management game about surviving the apocalypse, and I think it's a fun way to spend a couple of evenings, so I will share it with you. It has a cool layout, quite a few pieces of original art, and I have Dave working on the playsheet. I probably went a bit overboard with the production for something that is just 20 pages long, but I hate releasing half-baked stuff. Oh yeah, the game's called:

I don't think I've shared this before here, so here it goes.

I've also written a new Apostle for Sacrifice, Jarod the Rat King. I'll share it with you guys this month as well!

This week I'll focus on Warlord Ascendant as much as possible, but I also have to deal with any issues that arise from sending ATDW to print. I'm so damn excited to se the end of the tunnel!

Hope everyone has a great week!
