Hi folks!
Wanted to let you know we went ahead and updated the logo for Fiendish Forge. While the plain text got the message across, I'm a HUGE sucker for artistic logos....

New Logo, same book!
This book has been a joy to work on - and I've been delighted by all the feedback we're seeing through playtesting. I'm super excited for you all to see the result when we wrap up next year - but we still have plenty to do! Once again, thank you for your support. We'll update the pre-order shop items to reflect the new logo!

Please check your email for the digital files.
The Foundry VTT Key distribution is super new to us, so please don't hesitate to reach out or let us know what we can do to make it easier for you in the future. You can e-mail us at [email protected]
If you received physical products, such as the Hardcover Book, they will not be shipped yet. We want to ship them with everything else once Fiendish Forge is manufactured and ready to ship, and we can bundle your shipping rate.
If you are interested in getting the book now, please reach out to [email protected] so we can arrange it. Please understand that this will more than likely incur additional shipping charges since you will be getting multiple packages.
We hope you enjoy the Digital PDF and the Foundry VTT Module! Brett

Rules Updates
Phase Resistance Further updates have been made! We removed the ability to automatically end a condition or effect if it's non saved, and replaced it with the ability to end a condition without needing a save by expending 2 Phase Actions! Having effects like Hunter's Mark being removed was unintentional, so I'm hoping this clears things up.
Added the following to the Phase Turn description: Beginning/End of Turn Effects happen as soon as possible, but once per round. If a Phase Creature is targeted by an effect that takes place at the Beginning or End of a Turn, it takes place at the Top Most Phase Turn or the next possible Phase Turn. These effects can only take place once per round. This includes effects that would end at the end of a Phase Creature's turn.
ALTERNATE PARTY SIZES
This is balanced for 4-5 players. For every player below or above 5, decrease or increases the max HP of the Crab Legion by 39. You may not need to make this change for a 4 player party.
Please fill out this form. Please understand that any pending payments will be charged now for participating in the playtests. https://forms.gle/aG3FjX9VDSPwqME66
Enjoy! This playtest will close January 5th , 2025.
We'll be locking and charging pre-orders if you purchased the PDF for Why Slay Dragons when you could be FISHING or picked up the Foundry Module for Why Slay Dragons when you could be FISHING! We're hoping to release the Foundry Module this weekend, so we want to ensure we can distribute it to you!
Fiendish Forge is still hard at work (as you've seen through our playtests).
