I hope your thanksgiving was phenomenal. I know normally I use this top line to make some smarmy joke and elicit as many eye rolls as possible, but I just genuinely wanna take this time to thank you all for supporting us. This project has been so fulfilling, and every day we write something new that we're all so proud of.

I hope you're ready for Food Truck Warlocks. That's what I'm editing today. The subclass was drafted by fellow Action Fictionite Manuel "Snails" Olonia, who has been with us on all our Murka projects since Restaurants & Retail. If you're reading this, hi Snails! <3

We have received some AMAZING suggestions so far (shout out to the Slasher Paladin and Portaland additions), and we want to receive YOURS! Community Suggestions are open until 11:59 PM EST on November 30th. That means you're running out of time if you wanna see your cursed ideas brought to horrific ill-gotten life in our cursed D&D trilogy.

As a reminder, to make your suggestions, simply head over to our Discord and make a post in #Murka-Community-Suggestions. This suggestion process will happen in two phases: The first takes place on our Discord server, where you can make your suggestion as well as vote on others. At the beginning of December, we'll organize them into a series of Backerkit polls for everyone to vote on, so only the cream of the crop rises to the top! Will it be your cream? Our lawyers told me that if I ask that question again they're going to drop me as a client, which would suck because they're very affordable. It's rare to find lawyers that can be paid in hamster food. Also, you should see them run on their little lawyer wheels, they get going so fast.

We're very nearly completed with the lore and locations of Chromatic Gamut, which is our final book left to edit! We're most of the way done with its subclasses, and then we'll need to do spells, items, monsters, and the pantheon. After that... we're basically done. What a terrifying thought I am having right now for the first time.  

Quick reminder, we already sent out surveys and about 70% of you have already responded (gold stars for all of you!), so be sure to check your email and fill out your survey if you haven't already. Also, if you have any questions, you can always reach out to us in the comments below, in our discord, or via email - whatever is most convenient for you. We want to make sure you get your books!

Another quick reminder: shipping will be charged at a later date. So, you'll get an update closer to when we have books in hand that will ask you to pay shipping for your pledge, if it has any physical items. If there are no physical items in your pledge, then you won't be charged shipping (who would have guessed?!). We'll be sending out reminders about that as well as we get closer to the date.

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving. We got together to eat some delicious shepherd's pie and apple crisp that Chy made, and then we played a bit of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (first time playing it). Below is a photo I surprise-snapped that absolutely nobody was happy about me taking lmfao.
 

You all are amazing. I can't believe this is an opportunity we have, to make such silly games for you. There has been a lot of talk in the AF household about how close we are to being able to do this full time (did you know all of us also work dayjobs? YAY CAPITALISM!), and we're only as close as we are because you all believed in us, or at least thought our dumb satire D&D books were worth buying. And that's such an incredible feeling. We're looking forward to getting these books into your hands, and we're looking forward to making the next thing.

We're looking forward to whatever the future holds. And whatever the future holds for us, it's all thanks to you.

Yours across the plains of Midwesteros,

Jaron R. M. Johnson

And the Action Fiction Faction
