Rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated. We're not dead, and in fact are merely chained to the walls of the editing dungeon (see: my dining room). Provided nobody brings a bulldozer through my house, we're likely to survive all the way to the end of editing (my bulldog who is constantly dozingoff not withstanding).
BEFORE YOU SCROLL ANY FURTHER, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU STOP AND READ THIS SECTION.
tldr; There are 4 Series of minis, and you, the community, will vote to get a creature of your choosing included in each series. We are currently voting on two series, but Backerkit only lets me attach one poll. So remember to vote in both of the following polls:
We will hold two more polls at a later date to choose some creatures to go into Series' 3 and 4, but we gotta pace ourselves (because our hands are mighty full right now lol).
SO GO VOTE RIGHT NOW. Here's a preview of one of our minis as a treat, but only if you vote in both polls. So you have to pinky promise that you're gonna go vote before you scroll down and look at the... aw man, you already looked, didn't you?
Behold, the Walrog - now with slightly improved posture!
Okay okay you got me, this is a pretty cool mini. This is the Walrog, one of the fiendishly powerful members of the Manageri, stalking the halls of Walmoria. You'll be seeing more of him in the future. But look at his little bow tie, how cute!
Jaron, that's enough. Tell me how editing is going or else I'll throw a rock at you.
Okay okay fair!
Editing is going really well, but it's taking a bit longer than we expected. We thought we'd be finalizing Chromatic Gamut before October ended, but we're actually just about to crack that book open and start adding new content to it. I'm not sure exactly how this will affect our delivery timeline, but the upshot is that it's all to bring you a LOT of new content.
The main thing we've been working on lately is our new and improved pantheon, with a few major changes. The first of which is, each book will have a pantheon of gods available. The gods in each book are relevant to that book (and beyond), and will help our divinely-aligned classes feel at-home in the capitalist hellscape known as Murka. We've also put a lot of elbow grease into explaining how the pantheon works, how the cast of gods in Murka is always evolving, and included some advice on how to swap gods in and out for your home table!
Our gods also got a lot more complex in their design, and now include noteworthy NPCs relevant to the god that can be easily dropped into any campaign as a questhook, giving you more tools for telling satisfying satirical stories. That was a mouthful, but hopefully it made sense.
Tonight we're also finalizing Holly Woods, which is one of the final nails in the coffin of Arcana Americana! Cheyenne is already hard at work laying out our new writing into the Murka PDFs, so you'll be able to peruse them and look at the pretty new art even run games with them.
Did somebody say new art? Oh wait it was me, I said that
Surveys?????????
I know I know I am behind on Surveys, I have reached out to Backerkit and I'm still waiting to hear back. I need their help adjusting something on the backend, and as soon as they help, we'll be good to go!
Back to the grind!
I'm diving back in since tonight is another editing night (we edit Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between our day jobs, and then big long full editing days on Saturdays), so I gotta go get strapped in for that. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN BOTH OF THE POLLS.
