Greetings Agents,

• Later this week, I am going to be posting a lengthy update that walks everyone through the process of creating a Hellfinder agent! All these rules are still in playtesting, but they are finished enough for us to take a look at how it all works!
• At the request of a few of you, I have added a Tip Jar Add-On. If you want to throw a little extra into the campaign, know that it will be appreciated and every dollar spent will be split equally by all members of the Hellfinder team.
• At the conclusion of the most recent poll, it was clear that folks would like to see VTT support on both Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds. I have the skills needed to bring the adventures to Roll20, but I will need to find a Developer that can help me make the character sheet. I am looking into this, but it is likely not something I am going to be able to sort out until after the campaign is over. My search for a Fantasy Grounds developer has just begun.

• It's looking like I am going to be able to live stream at least one LIVE PLAY of Hellfinder right before the end of the campaign. I am hoping to announce my amazing cast later this week! We will be playing the Half Past introductory adventure, which is designed to be played in just one sitting. I cannot tell you how hype I am to make this happen! I hope you are excited too. Once I have everything confirmed, I will make an announcement here and on all of my social media channels.

But that is not all...
