Master PDF Update 1.17
Added 2023-06-01 18:00:05 +0000 UTCJust broke 1300 monsters! Also, I started ADHD medication this month so strap in:
Big Changes to the Catalogue: All right, big changes going up this month y'all. Adventurers and Figures of Renown got moved into the NPCs section, I added in one appendix cataloguing all the Curses, Diseases, Poisons, I've used; another keywording more Conditions and making some minor rules clarifications; a third detailing and clarifying rules for Minions, Giants, and Swarms; and started on a fourth appendix with tables of creatures by environment grouped in CR clusters for making quick random encounter tables.
New Format for Individual Links: The biggest change is to how the individual links page is going to work, though. Instead of being hosted on my website, it's going to use the same Table of Contents formatting as the PDF. Highly recommend using it over the PDF, as it's going to have all the art in, it'll load only what you need when you need it and will essentially include early access for all the updates and expansions to older monsters that I haven't posted yet. This does mean that you might see me post things that you've already found in your own exploration, but I hope that won't deter anyone from sticking around.
Changes to Patreon Page and Tiers: Some changes to the patreon, too. When I made the page I thought it was going to be a kind of even split between dice stuff and monster stuff. It just hasn't been that, so I'm changing the tier rewards to reflect that. Doom divers get discord access now, and I've figured out a way to make the bonus content for Warg Riders actually findable. I took off the painted minis reward for Deities because I haven't had a working 3d printer in almost a year, but everyone who's currently pledged at that tier will still get it as a loyalty reward. Also removing the patron-exclusive dice sales, since we never had enough interest to actually make one of those happen, and the polls, since I've discovered I don't like posting polls.
Things On The Way: In terms of what's going on with me more generally, I've got a Out of the Abyss companion adventure I'm working on with Dan Kahn (of the Monster Weaknesses series) and Scott McClintock (of the Rise of Vecna series), and I'm tentatively working on a August 1st release for the demon book. I also finally figured out how to get a spellchecker to work with big blocks of markdown code, so expect fewer typos going forward.
I'm also swapping the cover of Death Denied out, since it was brought to my attention that not everyone has the luxury of control over who's looking over their shoulder. The new art is also by Rae Elderidge, who is wonderful to work with and whose commissions are currently open, particularly if you want a nasty goblin.
