February Monthly Update (Patreon)

Look, I get that February's only a day or two shorter than most other months. But it sure feels like it's flown by. In general: a little slower than planned, due to some day-job crunch and getting knocked out sick twice, just a week apart. 

Kickstarter! It continues to be a whole thing! The book's up to 650 pre-launch followers now, which I'm pretty delighted about; obviously more is better, but that's a great start. For those who haven't followed, I'm going to be creating a hardcover book, containing all three of my classes, a whole pile of subs, a couple hundred spells, full rules for seafaring adventures, and at least 3 mini-settings you can just drop into your game world.

Patreon: A few new faces, hello! Including our first Wizard-tier supporter. If anyone's got ideas about nice rewards to tack onto that tier, let me know!

Troubadour: Still haven't gotten around to finalizing the PWYW DTRPG version, but still aiming to get that done.

Swashbuckler: Some good feedback I'm chewing on this month.

Bloodrager: Still hammering away at this month's changes. But we've got the Jotun Bloodline in decent shape, and I'm hoping to get the Feral Discipline done tomorrow (this week at least). As well, we'll see some changes to the base class.

Subclasses: 3/1. Our poll-winner last month was the Spirits Domain cleric, but that didn't wind up happening; I couldn't find a design that I liked and a flavor distinct enough from a Grave cleric. So instead we got the Unyielding Sun Warlock! Proof that second place matters in these polls. On top of that, supporters & playtesters got an early look at two new subclasses that will be book-exclusives, the Thornfinger Rogue and Way of the Stormdancer Monk.

Species: 0.5/0: A fun commission job to produce the Phoenixborn aasimar!

Spells: Spells That Don't Suck is done. OMG. Omega and I have poured so much energy, and so many words, into that project. We decided to take February off from spellcrafting, aiming to start fresh soon on its sequel project. 

Discord: I never got around to announcing with fanfare, but pretty big growth this month - almost up to 330 members now.

The plan for February:

Kickstarter: We're getting close on final cover art and layout design, and editing will come up after. I'm going to keep doing prework next month on content, and continue lining up marketing options. 

Troubadour: Get it up on DTRPG!

Swashbuckler: Next month's supporter poll closes tomorrow!

Bloodrager: I'm aiming for some more changes and one more secret subclass this month!

Subclasses: The public March subclass poll has 24 hours left to go! 

Species: Still cookin', it turns out, but hoping to push something to supporters this month.

Secret Projects: Behind schedule (still) on one of these, but aiming to get it out for feedback.
