August Update: Wanderhome(!), New Files
Added 2020-08-28 17:20:02 +0000 UTCHi everyone, good afternoon! If you follow me on Twitter it's been kinda a crazy month! Wanderhome launched on the 4th, and it's made $225K+ at a dizzying speed, and in an instant I've kinda had to restructure my whole life and business and income? Perhaps I'll do a Patreon post on that at some point, but I've spent the past month meeting with accountants and learning about business and absolutely trying very hard to not pull my hair out of my head with anxiety.
Because of this, I haven't been able to produce much content for all of you! I know I mention in my tiers that I cannot guarantee monthly content, but I'd been hoping to get something to all of you pretty soon. I will have some things for my lovely rapscallions! I'll be including those in a separate update (that'll post in a couple hours)
Here's what I'll be making available for my 10$ tier and up backers:
- Updated PDF file for Esoteric! I have plans to get Esoteric (and the Flower Court) printed through Mixam and distributed through Exalted Funeral, and so in light of that I'm redoing the graphic design. This will be the same text you've seen before, but if you've been meaning to grab Esoteric, now is the chance to snag it.
- A PDF copy of the manuscript of Wanderhome in its current form. That means no art, no editing, and still a couple spots that are rough around the edges. However it's got literally everything you need for long-term campaign play, and a bunch other things besides! Consider this my gift to all of you as a big big thank you for helping give me financial security while I manage the largest project of my life.
You might also be seeing some posts from Ruby at various points! Grub is my art director for Wanderhome, and my business partner. She's a wonderful swamp goblin who keeps me sane and has helped make all of this possible. I'm not sure she'll be posting, but as this Patreon slowly shifts over to be for Possum Creek in general, she might make a few guest appearances.
It's not often you get to press a button and watch your life completely change. You all know how tough financial stuff has been for me in the past, and I would only be able to do any of this with your help. As one big thank you to all my patrons, I've also included the Wanderhome Writing Guide, a document I've put together for all my stretch goal writers. You don't have to rely on this for anything, but I hope it's helpful for those looking for an in on writing your own Wanderhome content.
More will be coming soon - more stuff for Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, a couple of very strange BoB horror things I've been working on (the Nameless Engine) and even a post-apocalyptic Forged in the Dark game? Stay tuned over the next few months!
I love all you rapscallions, ragamuffins, scamps and wastrels, and I'll catch you all soon!
