Good Afternoon Wonderful Internet People!


It's been a little while since we last checked in. We had a very good show at PAX Unplugged, but between the inventory work that followed, the holiday orders, and my finishing my master's degree (I'm finally done by the way), I'm sorry to say that I never got a chance to post updates here. But fear not, I've got an update locked and loaded for this weekend to go over the Road Warrior and Pro Grappler, as they were both tied for updates in our twitter poll from the beginning of December. In addition, we posted a new poll today to cover which group of content you'd like us to go over next. The poll can be viewed here, and the options are Magical Warfare, Art of the Chase, Performance combat, and Prestige Classes. 


Now that I'm finished with school, you can expect a much more regular cadence of updates. In terms of where we are in writing the book, I'm presently working on some of the additional magical items unlocked via stretch goals, and fleshing out/editing some of the content we wrote prior to the Kickstarter's launch (mostly classes, and the rough rules for some of the mechanics were featuring in the book.) 


Do let us know if you have any questions about specific content in the book or anything else, and I'll be more than happy to answer it here or include it in the next update. Thanks again for all of your support, you'll be hearing again from me very soon.

BackerKit and Smoke Test
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 02, 2021 at 05:59:28 PM

Good Morning Wonderful Internet People!

Pardon us while we get things going on our end, we've been hard at work behind the scenes getting backerkit ready to go, while also preparing for a trip to PAX Unplugged (be sure to come visit us if you're going)! Today we launched the smoke test for Backerkit. This means that some of you will be receiving your backer surveys today. This is merely to ensure that if there's an issue with the surveys, it only effects a small portion and allow us to fix it. The rest of you should receive your surveys by early next week at the absolute latest, so keep an eye on your inboxes and spam folders to ensure that you can fill out the surveys. 


We'd planned on a couple updates for before the end of November, but with the holiday, PAX coming up next week, and Conor bogged down with finishing his fancy Harvard Masters Capstone, we weren't able to get those out. So prepare for more updates once we're all back in Massachusetts. Do let us know if you have any questions, we'll be sure to get back to you as soon as we possible can. Thanks!

We Did It!

Hello Wonderful Internet People!

As of today the turning on Kickstarter is over. While we didn’t hit all the stretch goals we wanted to, we’re sure you’ll love the content we’re putting together. Over the next couple weeks we’ll have the backerkit up and running so keep na eye out for that. We also owe you some more breakdowns of our classes and we’ll be updating with more sneak peeks soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions! Thanks to all of you for your continued support, we couldn’t do it without you!
