April Update
Did I mention I'm finishing a Master's Degree?
The Valley of Lune
I'm currently running two groups through the Valley of Lune. We're finding hiccups and bumps, but still having a blast. After these playtests, I will be finalizing the document and having it proofread. After that, it will go out to backers as a PDF, and the process of printing and shipping will start!
Locheil, of the Nothic's Eye, graciously agreed to take on a commission for the cover art, and produced something awesome! I hope you enjoy the new cover as much as I am.
A Walk in the Harwood
I've been giving some love and attention to Harwood, for super secret reasons, expect news... soon?
Shadow and Fae
I'm trying to break a bad habit of abandoning good things, and S&F has long been my favorite pet system.
I was poking around with layout and design a little, and realized how densely I tend to pack information—as if pages are made out of gold.
I drew a little inspiration from Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, and decided to title this version the "Crimson Book." In light of that, one of my old favorite fairy tale classes is making a comeback.
A few things have been tightened up, but it's a close adaptation of 2e, so I don't think I can really call it 3e.
That said, I'll also be working in and reworking the contents of the Old School Referee to make a single complete tome. Hoping to release sometime this year, but Lune is taking priority.
Megadungeon, You Say???
More of a whisper and a rough outline at the moment, but I'm thinking about it. Themes of fire and abyss and life in the rubble.
"How many rooms go into a mega dungeon?"
Well, theoretically a Megadungeon is a complete campaign, but my campaigns tend to be shorter.
Right now it's looking like ~100 rooms broken into about 10 regions. I'm sure someone will tell me that's not Megadungeony enough for the Megadungeon Club, but that's alright. I know my limits.
And that's the April Update from me, folks! Looking forward to May and beyond.
Take care, and if you want to chat about anything in this post, I'm on Discourse and the NSR discord.
