General update

Hello, everyone, it's been a while since I posted an update for all members, free and paying, so I thought it was time. I've been extremely busy as usual, mostly wrapping up the Over War - Monarch Edition Kickstarter campaign (which funded last week), finishing the details regarding the fulfillment of Across a Thousand Dead Worlds (which is now officially complete!), and dealing with Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne content for the first issue of the official zine that will contain all the stuff unlocked during the KS campaign. So here are a few notes on what's happening here at Blackoath HQ, and what you can expect from me in the upcoming weeks:

- As I mentioned, Across a Thousand Dead Worlds is finally done fulfilling. I'm sure there's a backer or two who still haven't received their book due to Backerkit being a PITA, but we'll get to them eventually as well. This means, though, that we are finally able to start selling the book in the US! Those interested in grabbing a copy will soon be able to do so, without having to pay for super expensive shipping. The book is already for sale via my own site, but if you're ordering from outside Europe be ready to pay a lot for the shipping. So I suggest you wait until I announce the book's official release in the US, which will happen very, very soon.

- The first issue of The Vaelorian Codex is basically done, content-wise. I've had to stop myself several times because I wanted to add more and more stuff to it, but I want the zine to be around 30-40 long, not 100, so I'm afraid you guys will have to wait for the next official Ker Nethalas release, haha. I have so many ideas for this game, I can't wait to get to it again! As usual, though, I'll send the zine to KS backers first, and shortly after everyone else will be able to purchase a copy. 

- The work on my next game, Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate, continues. As you can see, the art keeps coming in, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I've slowed down commissioning it, though, because it's quite pricey and I've run out of cash. The game's writing is about 60% done now, and Patreon members will be getting the next chapters next week. I'm beyond excited to bring this game to kickstarter ASAP, most likely in April. I want to playtest it properly first, and have it as finished as I can before attempting to crowdfund it. I will most likely produce a few hundred offset copies of this one, aside from the usual PoD copies via DTRPG. I think it deserves a proper release, since it's gorgeous, and I think it's going to be a fun game (which is the whole point). 

- Over War is done, and the WIP PDF will be soon sent to KS backers. We're missing the art but that's being worked on right now, so things are moving along nicely. I don't have an ETA for the full release, though. Hopefully April. 

- Gallant Knight Games will soon be crowdfunding my progression fantasy RPG Path of the Aram Thyr. This is a Celtic-flavored RPG about warriors trying to become more powerful while they explore a new, wondrous continent, collecting incredible fighting techniques along the way. It's a D20 system, it looks fantastic and it plays great, so I can't wait for this one to go live! the game is fully finished, so we're just waiting for Kickstarter to approve the project (which is taking super long, for some reason). I'm hoping this will hit Kickstarter in March, if everything goes as planned!

- Once I'm done with Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate, I'll start working on the promised Riftbreakers expansion. After that, I want to release a Warlord Ascendant expansion, and after that I must work on the fabled Chapter 2 for Across a Thousand Dead Worlds. You guys know I like to go with the flow, so we'll see. I just pray I don't get the urge to write a whole new game again, I think I have enough games for now. I do need to finish Empire Undying, though... I don't know if I'll be able to get to it this year, there's just so much stuff I must work on!

So that's it for now, I hope you are as excited as I am for all the stuff that is coming your way!
