New Year, New Stew: January 2021 Newsletter (Patreon)

Happy New Year, everyone! Also, happy birthday to our brilliant creator, Devin! We're as excited as anyone for 2020 to be over and we're looking forward to a fresh and energized start to the new year! Here are a couple things that you can look forward to from Cosmic Stew in 2021:

1. YouTube Lore Videos

Projected Release: January

Our greatest endeavor, at the moment, is a slight reimagining of our YouTube channel. We want to make sure to bring you along on our journey as we flesh out Rong'lu. So it's important for you to understand the lore and history that we have set in stone thus far! This month, we will take to YouTube, producing in depth lore videos to illustrate the history of Rong'lu. We are *tremendously* excited for what this process has in store for us and we hope you'll check them out! This month, look forward to learning about "The Legend of the Valor Hearth" and "Durgenshaft Mine: the Birthplace of Ungtherism." 

2. Advanced Business Mechanics: Mastery. 

Projected Release: February

The third and final installment of our Advanced Business Mechanics supplement, Mastery, is due for release VERY soon. Mastery will allow you to manage your own school, training your own students, and picking up valuable skills and traits along the way. We're still looking for lots of feedback for Mercantile (part 1) and Mercenaries (part 2) so be sure to check them out if you haven't already! Once we feel good about each installment, we plan to release a full length supplement containing all three, with specializations for daaaayzz!

3. Maps Maps Maps

Projected Release: All the time, probably more than you care. 

Maps are the ultimate tool for worldbuilders and dungeon masters alike! Maps give unparalleled insight into the personality of a location and provide crucial context for players to interact with. This year we vow to take multiple strides forward in the quality of our maps, undertaking new media and working to tell a story within each visualization. You'll get to see at least TWO maps + their variants each month! Let us know if you have any requests!

4. Book Progress

Projected Release: ???

As you know, our long-term goal remains to release a full-length trilogy of source / adventure books. All of the aforementioned serve as stepping stones for reaching this goal! While we don't yet have a foolproof time table for book releases, we can say with conviction that great progress has been made to Alvosh, Synterra, and Lurzia in recent months! Expect regular updates as we build towards our ultimate goal, and let us know of any themes or concepts you'd like to see represented, or existing works that you draw inspiration from! 

We want to hit the ground running in 2021, and we can't express how grateful we are to have you all along for the ride! Thank you so much for your support thus far, we would fizzle out quickly without such genuine encouragement!

Wishing you all incredibly prosperous years,

Landon, on behalf of CS.
