Weekly Update!
Owen K.C. Stephens
Hey folks!
Sorry the weekly update got away from me. It’s not that we don’t have anything to say, its just that in early Feb I enjoyed my 22nd wedding anniversary and two days later my wife’s birthday, and I didn’t manage my spare time well enough to get a note out by yesterday.
Two things have moved forward recently, though neither is particularly interesting from an observer’s point of view. The first is that we’ve had some of those internal discussions I’ve been mentioning would have to happen before the book got too far in the redesign, about what exactly we want Warlords of the Apocalypse to be. The end result is that while details are still being pounded out, we want this book to be a PA toolkit for running 100% Pathfinder compatible post-apocalypse campaigns.
If you want entirely human survivors fighting it out with gas-guzzlers in a parched wasteland of road wars, desperate communities coming together to fight off the risen dead zombies, barbarians and sorcerers battling it out with cyborgs and supercomputers hundreds of years after magic returned and destroyed the world, wandering mercenaries moving from bunkers to tradetowns to ruins in a world that ended just as the Atomic Age got started, or a single massive megaplex moaning under the weight of constant mutant uprisings and being the last bastion of civilization, we want to give you the rules you need. There are already numerous keywords in place in Pathfinder to help identify what kinds of powers are appropriate for what settings (extraordinary, spell-like, and supernatural abilities, as well as spells themselves and psionics if you use the excellent Dreamscarred Press material), and the addition of Progress Levels will make technology easy to pigeon-hole as well.
And of course if you want to throw in everything plus time rifts, nanotech swarms, orbital mind control lasers, and demons, we think we can handle that too!
The second bit of movement is work on a new logo, which we’re liking the direction of but not yet ready to reveal.
I’ll consider this LAST week’s update, and get you all another one alter on THIS week.
