Update - 22/05/2023

Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? I had some friends over so we played Shadows of Brimstone as usual (I'm sorry, that game just never gets old, haha), and the rest of the time I spent it working. I finished writing the scenario I promised Donn Stroud for his upcoming game Ruination Pilgrimage. It's pretty straightforward but it has some fun random tables and I think it will work great as an introductory scenario for the game. 

Last week has been mostly dedicated to dealing with Across a Thousand Dead Worlds, and fixing stuff for Riftbreakers. I haven't had the time to even touch Warlord Ascendant, unfortunately. It's been one of the most stressful weeks of my life, if I'm being honest. Between arranging the first payment for the printer and then realizing my VAT number didn't work for some reason, I felt like a headless chicken just putting out fires here and there. But the printer has now finally started taking a look at the files, and things are slowly moving forward.

Phil is working on the printer-friendly version of ATDW for now, while waiting for the printer's verdict. I've been really busy refining the way Riftbreakers explains some of the rules here and there, which seems simple enough, but it's actually a lot of work, at least for me. I don't want to redo whole sections of the book so I'm keeping it really simple and self-contained. 

In other news, Riftbreakers is now a Best Silver Seller on DTRPG, which makes it my fastest selling title so far! This is really fantastic because I worked really hard on this game, it's nice to see people reacting positively to it. I'm getting a lot of messages from people saying that they love it, so I'm really motivated to work on all the other stuff I have in my to-do list for this game, like adding new Hearts or detailing the Labyrinth region!

As you guys probably saw, I started a poll about my systems, and to my surprise, the D100 ruleset seems to be the most popular among you! I asked because I once again started wondering if I should really stick to the Thousand Worlds ruleset for Empire Undying. I really love the stamina in combat, and the fact that you have Wounds instead of HP, it makes combat deadlier and faster. But I also love D100 systems, so I was thinking maybe revamping it and creating a hybrid. I don't know, it's probably a waste of time since one of the few things I had finished for EU was the core rules, so going back and redoing that seems stupid. For now, I'll keep thinking about it. 

This week I'll have to work a bit longer with Donn on the scenario for his game, but that shouldn't take me much time. I'll focus on Warlord Ascendant once again, and see if I can make as good progress as possible, the game is shaping up very nicely and I'm really excited to share it with you guys. 

Speaking of sharing, this week you can expect to see the new Apostle I wrote for Sacrifice, and as soon as David finishes the gameplay sheet, I'll also upload Blood Moon Apocalypse. The apostle should be a fun addition to any Sacrifice game, and BMA is a fun little game to spend fooling around with for a weekend or two, so I hope you enjoy both!

That's it for this week, hope you all have a great one!
