August Update

For a bit of a change I thought I would talk about some of the stuff I'm hoping to get done this month (fingers crossed).

* * *

So, as you're probably aware, I've been working on some 'mines' terrain for the print & paste range, and the next video will be the little accessory pieces (1) that I previewed at the end of the last video (so, support beams, buffer-stops, and mine-carts). I've actually just finished filming this one ...so now for the fun of editing it :(

* * *

I'm also hoping to run the little starter adventure (2) that I've written for some of my Patreon supporters  (as a kind of playtest) . The plan for this is that it'll be a one-shot (maybe two sessions at most) that's run on a weekend from 6pm until about 9pm (UK time).

Now, I don't mind running this a couple of times if folks are interested (in fact, that would probably help with playtesting) - so if you're interested in getting involved with that, I've been trying to set up times/dates over in the 'Patrons Lounge' over on discord (and, at the moment it looks like I might have one group ready to go on the 15th :) ).

Here's some more info:

• The system is Dungeons & Dragons 5E (but a basic understanding of RPGs is enough).

• It's a fairly straight forward 'level 1' dungeon adventure.

• Pre-generated characters will be provided (so that we can jump right in).

• I'll be using Roll20 for maps, miniatures, and dice (you can sign up to Roll20 for free).

• I'll be using my Discord server for voice chat (as the Roll20 voice chat isn't always reliable).

• Video/webcam is optional (I'll probably only be using voice-chat myself).

• It's a private game (i.e. it's not being recorded/streamed).

* * *

Assuming I have time, I'm also aiming to get another 'mines' video out later in the month (3) ...and this one will feature a few walls and platforms. After that I think I'll start work on the building interiors that I've been talking about recently (not pictured) - so that we can get started on the next challenge!

* * *

And finally (and again, assuming I get time), I might see if I can put out a little 'zine' of sorts (4).

I love these kind of things ...and it will probably be an eclectic mix of articles, random tables, and so on - essentially, something with an old-school feel, but for the latest edition of the game :)

And while both this  'zine and the 'goblins' adventure will be products that I put on sale over on DriveThruRPG, the plan is to supply all my patrons with a code that will allow you to download them for free during the first couple of weeks of their release.

* * *

So, that's the plan - hopefully I'll get around to most of it :)
