State of the Union - 6/6/19

Thanks to everyone who's supported my efforts to this point and everyone who's a fan of the stuff I'm creating. Wanted to take a moment just to recap what all has been released thus far.

Currently, as of this moment, the following are all character options that have been released on Reddit and are in the Heroes of the Gauntlet Compendium with High-Res and Printer-Friendly PDFs:

Class Options (7 subclasses)

• Path of Least Resistance (Barbarian)
• College of Bravado (Bard)
• Far Domain (Cleric)
• Magicutioner (Fighter)
• Oath of Purification (Paladin)
• Dragon Apprentice (Ranger)
• The Elder Elemental (Warlock) + thematic Invocations

Race Options (12 subraces, 23 racial variants, 7 racial feats, 1 new race)

• Half-Azers, Jungle Dwarves, and Tundra Dwarves (Dwarf Subraces)
• Shadow Dragonborn, Pseudo-Dragonborn, and Faerie Dragonborn (Draconic Ancestries)
• Half-Orc Variants + Racial Feats (ALL Player's Handbook, Volo's, and Mordenkainen's races/subraces)
• Cloud, Fire, Frost, Hill, Storm, and Cyclops-based Goliaths (Goliath Subraces)
• Deva Player Race

Other (9 magic items, 4 monsters)

• Two sets of magic items
• Dracolich, Dragon Turtle, Shadow Dragon, and Wyvern "wyrmling"-equivalent monsters

New options are typically released every Monday and Thursday!

In addition to all these character options, The Gauntlet: Arena System BETA is going strong with a pretty good following and discussion happening primarily on the Discord server. Patrons of the Exalted Champion and Arena Master: Sage tiers are now entitled to play The Gauntlet in a session run by me, with or without other patrons, at least once a month (via Roll20).

The next releases on that front are Arena Encounter Guides and Optional Rules:

• Arena Encounter Guides are basically a condensed, convenient PDF of all the stat blocks you need to run a particular Arena, so you don't have to flip around multiple pages of your books or various websites to easily run the monsters.
• Optional Rules will bring more features to The Gauntlet such as adding Obstacles and Hazards to your Arena, introducing more magic item rewards, directing the personality and combat tendencies of monsters, and granting advantage/Inspiration in the Arena.

I think that's all for now! Thanks again sincerely for all the support, whether it be moral or monetary. And as always...

See you in the Arena!
