Update: Changes Going Forward

Added 2017-11-15 00:15:35 +0000 UTC

Hello patrons! Four years ago this month, we started releasing monthly monsters here on Patreon. Instead of getting nostalgic, though, let's talk about the future.

Firstly, the monster this month is the first public playtest draft of The Company of Monsters. You got to see an earlier playtest draft several months ago; this one is much more complete, as far as quick-starts go. At some point, this game will completely replace the Dungeon World half of this project. The monsters, as antagonists, will still be compatible with DW, so it's not really that big a change. Also, in future months, new drafts of the game will not replace any of the monthly monsters.

Second, I've lowered the $2 tier to $1, to make it easier for people to support development of this game and our monsters. I had to trash the old tier and create a new one, because Patreon won't let me just switch the dollar amounts, apparently. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully the access settings aren't totally thrown out of whack.

Third, the Labyrinth Lord versions of our monsters WILL continue. This Patreon still has two halves to it, even if one side gets more emphasis sometimes. Speaking of which, Dungeon Full of Monsters was a pretty big project, and so we have not done any serious planning for the next LL book yet. One look at the monsters left out of the dungeon says it will be a hexcrawl, though.

Okay, that's it! Thank you all for your support and for helping us make all of these books and these monsters possible. I hope you'll stick with us through the production of our game, and tell your friends about it (and play it with them!).
