Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day, including the devs! But as we're coming to the end of May, I'd like to post a question regarding the process! I understand Book Creation is a difficult and lengthy process, but I'm simply curious as to any changes to the timeline. It's obvious that the physical release is miles away, but my main interest lies in digital release! Any news on that front would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time. With that being said, thanks for your hard work, and I hope the team is having a marvelous may and wonderful health. Have a good day!

Project Update: Editing Continues! + NPC sheet preview

Howdy backers!


We are deep into the editing phase of the project and will be wrapping that this month. Then, it's onto layout.

I wanted to provide everyone with a more tangible update and preview of our NPC sheets, which you can see below. These will be provided in the book itself and as fillable PDFs. Feedback always appreciated! Questions welcome.

Project Update: Moving Onto Editing

Hey there, time for an April update! We are nearing completion. Coincidentally, we are a bit stalled currently due to some family leave on the production team and publisher. However: Art Is Finished!

Here is a preview of my chapter, our Dispute System...
We all like a little spice, don't we?


Trump Tariffs

We are wrapping production and have concerns about the tariffs, like all small businesses in America and frankly worldwide, due to the crashing global market. Andreas (Metal Weave Games) has established relationships with many manufacturers, which is relatively "good news", but we don't want to give an answer that could flat wrong next week. As it sits right now, he is better positioned to deal with the tariffs than I am with my own projects, but we'll keep you updated as we get more information.

More to come soon!

Project Update: End of February Update!

Hello hello.

We are coming close to completing this book! I wanted to make a push for us to wrap production in time to submit for this year's ENNIES, but it does not look like we will be on time for the deadline. Unfortunately a vast majority of us have full-time jobs and this is our side gig, so juggling our responsibilities has been difficult with all the lifeing going on in 2025.

That being said! We appreciate your support and hope that you continue to spread the good word about the book to your friends who might be interested. What's been done lately:

  • Adventure second draft completed!
  • 4/6 essays finished.
  • 99% done on art.

Next steps:
  • Wrap on writing.
  • Editing.
  • Layout.
  • PDF publication.
  • Printing & shipping.

Here are some art posts by our wonderful artists. Please check them out on their bluesky and other socials!

Project Update: January 2025 Update

Happy New Year!


Some minor news-worthy items:
  • I've asked the co-writer of our 2024 ENNIE nominated adventure Luna Petra Giannotta to take the lead on writing the adventure that will show off the mechanics in GMROM. My day job has occupied too much brain space for me to finish that one up alone, so she's going to be doing the majority of the lifting there.
  • Our mechanics are now finished, barring some additional work from me and Austin to tie them all together. Let's call it 95%!
  • Essayists are writing our essays.
  • Our additional content section is being worked on.
  • Artwork is moving forward.

Thank you everyone for your patience and we are looking forward to shipping this to you soon in 2025.
