Update - 12/06/2023

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was quite fun, actually. I got to play a bit of guitar, after over half a year since I last did it; my main guitar was in a terrible state but I got a friend to fix it for me and now it's good as new. I also worked on quite a few things, as I'll tell you now, and continued the game of Riftbreakers I'm running for a few friends. They seem to be really having a blast, and being the GM is allowing me to explore the game's lore from a different perspective, compared to how I face it when playing solo. I had written some rules to simplify combat a bit further but turns out they didn't really work well, so I need to rethink them. It's nice to have a group to test stuff with though, haha.

These last days I've been working hard on finishing Warlord Ascendant, which is very much done, except for the missing enemy warbands. I'm really happy with some of the elements I introduced, like the territory control and the exploration rules, that really add an extra dimension to the typical skirmish game. Some of you have already started playing it and I'm getting valuable feedback, so keep it coming!

I did realize though that I'm not going to have the game done for this month. I still need to work on the layout (I only have the template ready, but that's about it), and there's no way Simone is done with the art before the month's over. David also said he'll need longer with the Warband Sheet, so it looks like it will be delayed to next month, sorry! This does give me more time to playtest it properly. So for this month's Patreon content I'm going to be working on a variety of things, to keep it fresh. First, I finished some Guild rules for Riftbreakers, next I want to add something minor for Broken Shores, and last but not least, I'll port the alchemy rules from Disciples of Bone & Shadow into Sacrifice, which is something I've wanted to do for a while.

Speaking of Sacrifice, I've started preparing for the release of the Branded Edition. The Companion is no longer for sale, and the core book is now only available as a PDF. I'm also readying the files for Amazon, but that's always a real PITA and I have to go back and forth with them until they approve it. In any case, I expect to announce it this week!

There's no much progress on the Across a Thousand Dead Worlds front, unfortunately. Phil is again not answering to my emails, so it's been essentially a whole month without communicating with him, again. He will resurface with the files finished, but it's really annoying when he disappears like this. 

So that's it for now, I'll keep working on the stuff I have for you guys, and I might upload the Riftbreakers Guild rules this week already!

Have a great week!
