August Update

Iron and Foam

There have been no posts for some time, apologies. Though my subscription will always be free, I do feel as though I have not repaid my subscribers interest fairly.

The past few months have been rather busy, I have increased my daily exercise significantly and other daily duties have ramped up. Much of my free time has been devoted to building a massive and detailed Mordheim board from scratch. UltimACKS had some scheduling road bumps but the campaign continues. Personally, I find session reports a pain to read and write so I will not be posting until something truly important happens (the players are closer to one such opportunity than they believe).

More relevantly to substack, I have been carefully contributing to yet another notebook game which I believe has a lot of potential. Experience tells me that opening the lid on these things too early has a way of dispersing their energy so I won’t say much now. It is partially an evolution of my thoughts about magic-users which I have documented here on the stack, but it also incorporates some other concepts. I feel very strongly about it’s core vision, and I think it’s a unique game the deserves to exist. To speak very generally, it is a fantasy game which sees players taking on a role that is not that of the “adventurer” but instead something different with more specific responsibilities and goals. It has an original setting which will be pretty closely tied to how the game operates. If that sounds at all interesting than stick around, I’m sure I’ll be posting on it in more detail in coming months perhaps closer to the holidays.
