Hello dice fiends,

It's been a bit, and I can still say the Oracle Dice are my favorite tool I've ever made or used. I'm thinking about what a 3rd edition could be in 2025. I think it could be worth updating the guidebook at least, but the question does stand for me that there might be some other items around as well. I'm looking into side dice options, for example I'm considering dice for the Hot Housewives Tarot, and the Misery Tarot, and I just did three little dice as extras in the Alleyway Oracles.

Would you be interested in a re-manufacture of the main dice set, an updated guidebook, and then a few 'expansion' sets of dice? I think I'd rather do it that way, as extra dice, than part of the core set. That way people can add them if they want, but not necessary. Then of course I'd have to offer a long wood box with space for a NEW "full set"... I love my wood boxes!

So let me know in the comments your thoughts on a 3rd edition, what things you'd like to see (changes to the guide, dice, boxes, etc!) I know people requested a new reading journal for the reverse side of the reading mat! I think I'd be more interested in a cleaned up and more final 3rd edition of the dice set (with extras) than an Alleyman thing for 2025. Just really want to get the guidebook down to the final version more than anything! (Such as explaining in the darn thing what 'in shadow' means??)

Now, I have something to share with you... The Lords of the Dice are, heavily, HEAVILY from my other worlds. I think I talked about this a bit during the campaign, but they aren't just random fun designs, they belong to other stories I have been working on for years and years.

You know the Alleyman, likely, and you may also know the Publishing Goblin. But did you know that the Publishing Goblin lives somewhere?

Yes, in the world of Ajurea, the Publishing Goblin based their Lords of the Dice on beings they knew from their own world. 

The Lords of the Dice are peoples from Ajurea, a world between all my worlds where through strange anomalies called Confluxes, people, places, objects, ideas, weather, magic, and technologies are pulled across space and time to share a world together. Which is to say, you can play as the lineages each of the lords hail from in Confluence: The Living Archive.

Yes, you may have heard of Confluence by now, I imagine. I've been a bit persistent.

Now, I know there are a lot of you who may have even taken a look already, seen it was a game, and tuned out. But I would like to share that there's more to it than just a game! With a new "Lore Bundle' tier, you get just the main two books that explore the world and lore of Ajurea, the land of Confluence.

Across these two books, The Atlas and Sujatha's Journal, you'll get a head-first dive into the world, learn about the people who live here, and get all the more background on these peoples and areas! As well as their unique magics and abilities.

And if you ARE the kind of person who is into Table Top Roleplaying Games... well then, be sure to check out the rest of the project! It's truly a one-of-a-kind game that only got to exist with the funds earned on projects like this and the Alleyman's Tarot, and represents my last big gasp on the project, as we seek the last bit of funding to get the books out into the world before we hopefully gear up to work on the rest of the world in future atlases!

Thank you friends, and talk again in 2025 when the dice give me another calling.
