Zeenutz!

Here's our first update of 2026.

Good news! The Layouts are done for everything except the adventures, which hopefully will be done soon. You will see the finalized layout attached below.

The art is still not done, I am still soliciting piece by piece as I can.

I know this is a long road to wait, but at least the game can be played right now, cold comfort I am sure.

For those getting custom art, please look for Shane's emails, as waiting for your approvals delays us getting more done, which slows down a lot of stuff as well.

Lastly, we have the Mighty Turtle STL attached thanks to Jason, who stepped in to get the piece done for everyone! Thank you so much Captain Saturn!

More news next month!

BE HEROIC!

Well here we are hurtling towards the end of 2025, and I won't lie it's been a rough rough year. With no hyperbole, there were moments I wasn't sure I'd see Christmas this year.

But I did!

I want to thank you all for your ongoing patience with this project, I know it's taking longer than planned, but it is still moving along step-by-step. We will get there.

Attached is the latest layout update for you all (still using mostly place holder art), as the artists on the team are continuing to work at the pace they can for what they are giving of their time and heavily reduced rates.

I hope we'll see a boost of income in the new year with Valorous 5e Edition coming and Final Age, alongside Valorous Barebones Edition, are designed to create money to pay for the completion of HEROIC, so if you are wondering how you can help the process, get your friends out to join in by buying the other products, literally ever dollar helps!

Okay enough ringing the bell on a street corner.

I wish you and your families and friends nothing but happiness as we put this dog of a year to bed and the highest hopes for 2026!

First let me say Happy Thanksgiving and how thankful I am for all your patience!

Next, the cover has settled down and is moving to final art;

I think Anthony is killing it!

Next more backer art is out for approval;

TJ is the man! More to come for sure!

Shane and Craig remain hard at work on layouts, but alas it is a slow process with everyone working part-time on it, I know you long for more but it's the best we can do right now... unless someone has a dumptruck full of money they are looking to give away ;)

Lastly, I made another game all on my own, with no comittee and it uses the same system as HEROIC, adapted for Fantasy. The Front cover is by Jacob Blackmon and the Back cover by Daniele Spezzani!

It's called Valorous;

All profits from these projects are going to finalizing HEROIC, so certainly you get something and help the project too! Win/Win I'd say!

That's it for today!

See you at Christmas with our next update!

Peace, love, geek!
