Hello ! 

I hope you are doing well. I haven't been sending many messages as I try to keep them for actual updates and announcements. Quick exciting update: we're CHF 137 from unlocking Ante-Inferno, more below!

Main Quest Con was such a great experience. Meeting Waco and being able to engage with TTRPG afficionados was definitely the highlight of this trip for me. We even encouraged a few Game Masters to jump the (Mother)ship and become Wardens!

During the 2 days there, we heard many stories, parsed advice and shared experiences. Quite a few folks shared they wanted to try new systems but felt "trapped in another system with their current group" or that they would NEVER try horror etc. Everyone was very caring and helpful, we were happy to exchange contacts and help reinforce communities, and hopefully, have many more games played.

 

While I was in The Hague, I also grabbed a coffee with Kevin, The Role Play Goblin! If you are in the area and want to meet likeminded folks, play games with expert GMs, and benefit from the expertise and excellent assortment of RPG systems, go and push the door of this amazing gem of a store, you will find what you are searching for in this magic realm located : Westeinde 24a, 2512 HD Den Haag, Netherlands. 

We're only CHF 137 away from unlocking this, which could realistically happen in the next few days with your help. I cannot wait to see what Mathieu will be cooking. We have been extensively talking about the importance of this HUB and its denizens. Many items, NPCs, services and other rewards will be at this location for your players to interact with. 

Mathieu and I have been collaborating together since MM25, reading and helping each other's own work (RED NATION and BREAKING NEWS), but also on a more direct collaboration: AZOR OPERATION.

This is the cross-collaboration reward for people who backed both our projects, a "big" trifold offering the opportunity to run the same mission from 2 different perspectives. You can join the Oracle journalists and investigate the recent blue collars revolt on this underwater colony and try to get the most exciting story out of it; OR you can infiltrate the base with the agents of the Union, retrieve some assets and sabotage the place on your way out.

If this is intriguing to you, I promise you will enjoy what Ante-Inferno will bring in addition to an already exciting format.

This week, Lone Archivist is looking at bringing more of the text to life thanks to his expert eye and unfaltering hand. I feel blessed he enjoyed the idea of 9Circles and that the concept and vision clicked almost immediately when we talked for the first time. From our initial talks, we have been iterating different variations for the cover, the colors, the feeling of the book itself, always keeping the usability and overall "beauty" in mind. 
Lone managed to capture that overall feeling we were looking for with a great rendition of Techno Medievalism visual style.  

All of this to say, we have more in the pipe and I cannot wait to come back with more news and content soon. 

Thank you again,
Hadrien
