Welcome back, Adventurers!

So, here's what's going on in short:

The printer I was working with was unable to complete the book order because they lacked stitching, which is something I thought I had determined before partnering with them but that was on me, so I'm moving to another printer
The Core Rules test-prints are slotted to arrive at my place on 10/21/2025, expect a video around then of me dissecting them
Title Card Deck test-print is also underway, ETA not yet determined
Artist Chaoclypse, the artist behind the "Mud, Blood, and Stone" cover art, is going to be doing the rest of the book (originally it was going to be someone else, but I decided to bring him in to finish it out in his same style), that's the next step in the completion of "Mud, Blood, and Stone"

Where was I?

I just moved from North Texas to the US-Mexico Border for work. It was very spontaneous but not entirely unexpected. The food down here is great, but then again in most places the food is great if you get the right type of food.

I have a series of mandatory trainings, a friend's wedding, and my wedding anniversary in the coming weeks, the next update may be in November. Just keeping it real with ya'll. Luckily, at this point, we're just waiting on printing mostly.

"Specialist Handouts"

The idea I've been passing around for the past few updates about specialists having their own little supplements is coming to fruition. The goal is that they're going to be one-page handouts you can give the players when they arrive at a town. One is the generic handout that has all of the basic items, weapons, armor, how much does it cost to stay the night, etc. Other than that, every specialist type will have their own handout which explains what items/services they provide and gives additional items/services from the core book.

Think of them like little pop-up boxes in a video game. This will be a series of free supplements, I don't think they'll provide enough content to warrant charging for them.

More to come.

"Seeker"

Solo Rules. Short and simple. My dream is for a one-pager on exploring dungeons and the wilderness alone, but it may have to be a series of one-pagers about exploring different types of wilderness and dungeons alone. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

More to come.

"The Remains of Elfkind"

This is a new adventure, similar to "Mud, Blood, and Stone". It will be in the Hex-Flower series (started by "Mud, Blood, and Stone") and will be for Veteran to Expert Seekers (mid-level). It takes place in a forest, and is essentially what happens if you stumbled upon Rivendell from LOTR but decided it was conquered by rivalling beast-kin factions battling over the ruins. All the elves have long since left or been slain (it's unclear which).

It's going to feature a lot of Beast-kin, and fantastical Animals. It think you guys will really like it. It won't be coming out for a while though.

More to come.

Thank you guys so much for backing!
To be continued...

You can playtest the game on our Discord with me and our awesome community! We don't bite!
