I wonder if the 2021 movie Don't Look Up had any effect on dictionary sales.
Also, please enjoy this image of our new "Falling Squirrel" beast native to Senekal Park in Magnamalus (featured in Chromatic Gamut). They're nuts. Druids rejoice, as we'll be including a number of new wild shape options like this!
This is what I imagine you guys look like jumping into the feedback form. Also, are any of our backers old enough to get this reference? Am I finally out of touch? Have I officially reached unc status?
Cheyenne has been hard at work for a while now laying out the bits of the Murka books which have exited the editing stages, and we decided to pull out all the subclasses from Arcana Americana and submit them for your review!
The PDF is currently currently a work-in-progress; we're still finalizing a lot of the art and layout elements. But the text is in a pre-release state ready for public playtest. Feel free to theory craft, run a one-shot, or start your Murka campaign outright! Then, collect your feedback and submit it in our handy dandy feedback form!
You can find the Feedback Form here, or in the Playtest PDF.
We're primarily looking for any wonky mechanical interactions or obvious balancing issues, so if you catch any, please please submit them! As a show of our appreciation, there's a section in the feedback form to submit your name which will be credited separately in the book as a playtester. This section is optional, so if you'd rather not have your name in the book, that's fine too!

Poor Hans Solus, sealed away forever in the freezer aisle of Walmoria...

Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions to the Discord, I laughed so heartily at so many of these. This was so much fun, and I cannot wait to bring these ideas to live (spoiler alert, we've already made early drafts of the Slasher subclass and the quacken).
