Potion Brewing, Playtest Update, & New Podcast Episodes!
7 months ago – Fri, May 10, 2024 at 04:19:54 PM

Hey Everyone!

This week we've got an update on potion brewing as well as insight on book layout, a New Podcast episode (With a mini-podcast update), and a playtest material revamp.

Potion Brewing!

Check out a look at the work-in-progress potion brewing chapter straight from the book. Things are still liable to change and we're still finishing the layout, but you can now dive into the mechanics a little deeper. 

You can expect to see an updated potion list to be used alongside these mechanics in the coming weeks.

Check out the Potion Brewing PDF HERE.

Playtest Update

As of today, we have the most up-to-date versions of all playtest material available for your use! Check out the Google doc HERE to look overlook new wording and mechanic edits. Including a major update to last week's potion playtest.

New Podcast Episode - The Village of Polewater

Quick Update - In this latest batch of podcast episodes you'll notice some funky audio. That's because it finally happened, we ran into technical issues. Our mics cut in and out, so we ended up losing audio and had to use the lower-quality camera mics for sections of the podcast. You'll notice this in the next few episodes, but rest assured we've fixed it and will be back and better than ever in future episodes. 

In this week's Podcast: Episode Fourteen, The Village of Polewater, the writers discuss the corrupted fishing village on the eastern side of the backwater wetlands. Join them as they write a tragic tale about a wholesome village and come to realize who the little girl below the ocean really is.
