Test the Illrigger Revised (Patreon)

Hey MCDM Fans,

It’s time to raise Hell … again! Today begins our beta playtest of a new product, The Illrigger Revised.

You may remember that in April 2021, we put out The Illrigger on our shop and Patreon. Since that time, many players have had a devil of a good time bringing a little more fire and brimstone into their games.

But, our fearless archdevil, Colvillus, Lord of the Hidden Eighth City, wasn’t satisfied with the first incarnation of this damned digital document. Lo, we struck a deal with infernal powers to forge a new version of the illrigger. That deal was also struck with the product’s lead designer Sadie Lowry and with game designer Mario Ortegón.

This version of the class still drips with fiendish flavor, but it has been rebalanced to better progress with the rest of the fifth edition classes and provides more options for customization. It also contains two new subclass options: the devilishly charming Hellspeaker and the blood-magic-wielding Sanguine Knight.

Now we need your help. You can check out The Illrigger Revised here: https://mcdm.gg/IllriggerOpenBeta

Once you review the playtest materials, please complete the playtest survey linked below:

It may look long, but most of the questions are optional. As a heads up, we want to know what you like and dislike about the class. We don’t need you to fix the problems you find. In fact, it’s better if you don’t. You can simply say, “This is overpowered,” or “This is too complicated to be fun,” and let us figure out how to fix it.

This playtest ends on 6/9 at noon Eastern, which is also when the survey closes. We’ll have a second test after we get a chance to review your feedback and make revisions.

Once this version is ready for release, we’ll update the files for anyone who has purchased the Illrigger on our shop and we’ll also update it on the original illrigger Patreon post.

You can come chat about The Illrigger Revised and other MCDM products on the MCDM Discord.

Ab Inferno,
