Catching Up

Well damn - I haven't posted on this blog in 9 months. Because I wasn't doing any game things? On the contrary, because I was.

BXDH

The BXDH campaign hit just over 200 sessions and ended with actual real human tears, emotions, and a lot of virtual high fives. not a bad campaign ... and the next one is already starting up! Also rewrote the entire system to add in some other nonsense to really make the game sparkle - improved exploration rules and an entire system for growing your settlement from a pitiful camp to a sprawling metropolis.

The new setting is the "Placatae, the Wandering Isle".  Maybe I'll start posting hexes or something?

At the end of the campaign i wrote a piece on the discord that got all players in both the BXDH and Sorrow games interested ... because they could see that while the systems were different, the games themselves and the world in which they are in are related (if not the same).  20 years for that long-form nonsense to come to fruition :D

SORROW

The main Sorrow in Haven rules review and editing and layout and all that is finally complete. Working on calculating printing costs now. Along those lines the first 2 monster books have been scratch printed as table copies and look like they will be perfect.

Sorrow in Haven Books

• Sorrow in Haven (getting ready for the first print run!!!!)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 1 - Underworld Creatures Class A & B (in progress, functional)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 2 - Underworld Creatures Class C & D (pending; notes)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 3 - Underworld Creatures Class E (pending; notes)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 4 - Urban and Wilderness Monstrosities (pending)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 5 - Creatures of Sorrow: Lost Haven (in progress, functional)
• Phantasmagoricon: Volume 6 - Creatures of Sorrow: <other Sorrow Regions> 

I'm also making a point go get the dungeons of Sorrow written up as more than just notes, but honestly may back off from that. Not sure why I'd spend time making something "publish ready" when i have no intention of such things...

SPRING FLING 2023

I'm working on organizing a long weekend of gaming in spring 2023. Head count is in the mid 20s right now, which is pretty cool. Finding a place where we can all stay AND has space for multiple games AND hanging out AND personal space AND isn't gross/too fancy AND is in the right area/price point is tricky ... but I'm sure it will all work out.
