Project Update: April 2026 Update [SABLE GECKO]

Greetings wanderers,

I hope spring is treating you well, I have been delighted to finally see some blossoms around the Vaults of Vaarn bunker. We have a new WIP draft, codenamed SABLE GECKO, of the core rulebook for your edification. 

Currently SABLE GECKO is the most recent draft. If you have comments/questions/typos/suggestions on content, please try to identify which draft you're reading from! It makes it much easier for me to keep track.  

What's new in SABLE GECKO?

I'm focusing on getting the last bits of new content laid out and drafted rather than updating existing pages.
  • Minor Factions (p.84). Some dice tables to help you create minor factions, including ambitions, leaders, and more. 
  • New Faction creature: Unfolder (p.94). A spooky hypergeometric horror, which serves the Jigsaw Autarch.
  • Settlement Quirks (p.118). These tables create some additional quirks and features for Vaarnish settlement, including festivals, fashionable clothing, and entertainments. This completes the settlement-generation content.
  • d100 Landmarks (p.159-160). One hundred landmarks to add further texture to your overland maps. This completes the region-generation content.
  • New monster: Witchgrub (p.xx). A rather horrid beast, which damages armour with sprays of acid. 
  • Updated Bestiary: now contains stat blocks for some missing creatures (Hagfluke, Fleshwarp, Laser Shrimp). All Faction-aligned creatures now appear in the Bestiary as well. This should complete the Bestiary. I know there has been some desire for more creature illustrations so I'm looking at ways to expand the Bestiary and get some more space for art in there.

Still to Come

  • Expanded list of Hypergeometric Equations
  • The Lithic Lyceum (major faction)
  • The Head of Briareus (an adventure site)
  • Innumerable tweaks and edits. 

You will note that the list of content to be added is quite short now, so the end of drafting is in sight. I'm hoping to make one more major text-only update and then move into illustrations over summer while my editor does their thing.
