I know it's been a while since I've been able to focus on this, but I'm making it a priority.
Each past attempt to get stuff out has been hampered by the illness (2016-2017) and death of my mother in 2018, the hospitalization of my youngest daughter in 2018, the death of my brother in 2020, and my father-in-law's illness and passing in 2021. It's been a pretty stressful couple of years around here and combining that with COVID and the stresses of teaching during a pandemic life has been interesting to say the least. I've been producing work, but mostly what I can when I can as opposed to what I have to do This summer I worked hard at some old projects and brought them along to points of completion that will allow me to finish them. I'm hoping that early in the new year everything is out and done and people are just having fun with them. It would be a nice way to successfully finish off a stressful chapter of life and emerge from this pandemic with new goals and a fresh start.
So, in the spirit of the task I am going to chronicle the progress here.

October 20: The Wilderness Expansion Stretch Goal and the Cosmic (Retro Space) game card set.
November 31: Adventure One (Lich Lord, formerly released as the Ghost Wood adventure)
December 31: Ninja vs Samurai as well as the Wild West game cards.

Here is one of the pages of the Wilderness set I'm finishing up this week. I thought it would be cool to have lots of different animals for the set. Not all of them are a threat.  |

The one at the bottom left looks to be harmless, but then again invisibility could cause it to be the most dangerous of them all. Just giving you a hard time. Enforced Accountability is a dangerous thing, sir. Putting out dates like that is putting a lot of responsibility on yourself. I wish you luck and I wish you well |

This is assuming no grave illnesses or deaths in my circle. |

Just a thought on the Wilderness animals, but it might be interesting if the big stag was offered in an alternative colour scheme of all white, except for red ears and muzzle, as the great Faerie white stag. It's a powerful creature from real-world folklore and has been adapted into various RPGs over the years. Of course, it comes to mind partly because of the latest new D&D 5e tome covering their take on the Faerie Realm. Possibility for a layer option, maybe?

I can't find a reference to the ears and muzzel being a different colour in the myths. Can you give a source wyvern? |

My apologies cowboyleland and everyone else. It seems I was misled by some commentaries on folklore regarding the white stag having red ears and muzzle. That colouring is of course very common in "Celtic" folktales and myths regarding faerie cattle and dogs, and sometimes horses. As real-world animals with leucism (reduced pigment in hair and skin, commonly making the fur look white or off-white) often have pink showing through their fur around ears, eye and nose (wherever the fur is thinner), including deer, some commentators have suggested this might have been the case with the white stag as well as the faerie dogs and cattle, if that had been the cause of their whiteness. So to be fair, such colouring would work in real-world creatures even without the folkloric link. We had some brief discussion regarding the white Chillingham cattle and the aurochs regarding such colouring previously back in 2018. |

I was out of the loop. I just figured it was someone at Wizards of the Coast who wanted it to look like the Nine-Tail Fox

A few more images as I'm working on the backs of the Wilderness set. Four pages of minis, a few pages of trees, rock formations and a set of customizable tiles. There will also be rules and cards for Darkfast Dungeons. Working, working, working.  |

The Wilderness stuff is technically done. I just have to finish up some cards and cool layers. I'm aiming for a week or so.
Gear Guides are being written. I have to go over all the math before I finalize the layout and provide a few more drawings.
Cosmic Cards just need final layout decisions now. I think I fixed all the problems. Just editing now really.
Whew... I didn't expect my 20-year-old cat to get pancreitis and two of my kids to end up in hospital in November. Christmas is always a busy season but that wasn't fair real life!
I'm back at finishing things up with a vengeance.

I sometimes check if something new happened about the KS material, but i admit that i'm pretty lost in what's done and what's not. There's a recap somewhere?  |

Just getting the Wilderness set together for next weekend (July 31) and I'm retooling the adventures because I think what I did was not what people wanted so I am trying to get something together for each of the three adventure sets to include: 1. specialty tiles, 2. specialty minis, 3. cards for those opponents, 4. specialty gear/spell/events cards, 5. an adventure guide. I think that will be better suited to the game as it is played. It took a while to realize that but I think the solution is easier than I thought. I'll get more updates on here as they are released in full. Thanks. |

OK, today I should have the two Sinister Cities sets out for Save the Day. I just need to make sure I have the correct list of emails for Paypal folk. Then I'm back on to finishing up the Wilderness expansion (cards and some rules).  |

This week I hope to finish editing this set of Cosmic Cards and make the cards for the Wilderness Set for DFD.  |

Spent two 'fun' hours last night unclogging a heat break tube (the nozzle was a lost cause and replaced). Stupid bowden tube slipped and molten plastic spilled up into the heat break tube and congealed.
