July Monthly Update (Patreon)

Somehow I managed to entirely miss my schedule for the monthly update. (Well, I know how; I took a quick weekend vacation, so my brain was in vacation-mode for a few days). But we're back! Let's see how July went.

Machines of Bone and Blood: CONCLUDED! The final tally was at $138,539 from 1621 backers! I cannot tell you how delighted I am with this. (It has also crept up a few thousand more as late pledges trickle in).

Patreon: Good growth, especially at the higher tiers. I think some folks came over to check it out from the KS.

Discord:  Backerkit surveys went out this week, which has drawn several hundred new members into the discord!

Troubadour, Swashbuckler, Bloodrager: MB&B's stretch goals include all the current patreon-exclusive subs (Forgesinger, Nightblade, Nightborne and Powderburn), and will wind up adding one more of each.

Necromancer: Editing continues and I'm getting ready to work on the MB&B Backer's choice results.

Abomination: I haven't released it properly yet, but I drafted the Nature of the Deva earlier this week!

Subclasses: Last month gave us the Bone Knight fighter! I promise I'm done making "get your bone on" jokes.

Species: May's poll gave us the Rakhasi species! I was a little overdue on it but am very happy with the result. This week I whipped up the Fenwyrm species for MB&B backers (this one won't be going up on Patreon, but is visible for supporters in the discord).

Design Notes: I completely whiffed on writing a design notes post for July, and at this point, I'm not going to circle back to get it done; it'd be too big a distraction from what I want to get done this month.

Misc: Our supporter bonus for last month was a feats-and-items grab bag. Plus, a few spells I wrote while working on the items.

Items: Hospitaller's Gauntlets, Sir Edegar's Needle, Living Urumi, Spectral Handaxe, Venomous Katar, and Claws of Rending

Feats: Spirit Caller, Exotic Weapon Specialist, Fist Weapon Master, Ferromancy Adept, Unlikely Mutant, and Apprentice Osteomancer

Spells: Twist Shadow, Shaderazor, Shadow Dagger, Shademail

What's on the plate for August!

MB&B: Very much in full steam. This week I've been editing an adventure by Mystery and working on one of my own; then I'll be working on compiling the first playtest packet. All alongside continuing to crank out content.

Polls: The general subclass poll went to the Ratmind patron warlock. The supporter poll was for an NPC pack, and was a tie between Awakened Trees and Crabkin, so I'll make something in that vein (likely a bit of both).
