Resuming Patreon
I'm getting back to work, with very exciting news.
First of all, this month will be free for everyone who is already part of the Patreon. I will start posting content this week and you will be charged from April 1st and on.
My break was very fruitful. College was excellent, I dedicated time to my family, and I delivered the print-on-demand for the Character-Centric Packs. During the break, I lo...

Patreon Is Still Paused, Refunding February Unintentional Charge
I'm hoping you are having a good 2021 year so far.
As you already know, the arrangement is to unpause the Patreon on March 2nd, and that's how I settled it, but for some reason, Patreon started charging you today. That should have not happened. I'm refunding you all that charge. Sorry for this gaffe.

This is a rather difficult decision to make.
I'm pausing the Patreon until March 2nd of 2021. This means that Patreon will not charge you on January, February, and March 1st and I won't post content until then. If you are a newcomer, you will be charged upfront to access all the content published so far, and you will get the rewards through DriveThruRPG, but you won't be charged these dates.
The reasons for the pause are as follows.

Design Notes
This is a new type of assets I'm calling techniques, which have similar mechanical vibes to rituals, but are not supernatural, taking some liberties from the ritual formulas.

Asset - Infusion (Ritual)
DESIGN NOTES
The idea behind this ritual asset was to make one for a potion maker, with enough versatility to make it beneficial or harmful. It serves as an alternative for the Alchemist or Herbalist path assets.
Side blog note: Spending 8 hours straight learning to use Adobe InDesign has paid off. I've set the asset template in INDD. You can clearly see the difference in quality between this asset and the previous ones I've released. I will start remaking a...

In the last blog, I explained what was the goal I was working on behind the scenes for the future of the Patreon: "If things go at the current pace, I will get the new machine by December. This will allow me to offer print-on-demand on DriveThruRPG for all the materials I produce and expand the scope of what I can do."
Thanks to your amazing support and the success of the sales, after four months of saving, t...

2020-10-18 02:14:41 +0000 UTC View PostAsset - Veiler (Combat Talent)
DESIGN NOTES
1st ability: Granting the option to roll an alternative stat when making a fairly recurrent move is rarely present in the 1st ability of an asset because it is a considerable twist in the game mechanics. However, there are a few reasons I decided to break the mold a bit with this asset.
- The main use of a cloak in combat is to outmaneuver your foe, so it is appropriate to abstract this fighting style with the shadow stat. ... 2020-10-11 19:03:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Ironcrunch - Bestiary Update, Part 3 (Changelog 20200930)
- Removed the shields' mechanic to take initiative on a weak hit.
- Simplified and rebalanced the light weapon descriptor when using two weapons at the same time by making you roll with the highest weapon harm and adding +2 (instead of using both weapons' harm).
- Reworded the recovery weapon descriptor for better reading and increase the momentum cost.
- Tweaked the Secure an Advantage hit outcome to add an option to take the initiative in ... 2020-10-03 21:29:39 +0000 UTC View Post
Asset - Therianthropy (Ritual)
DESIGN NOTES
Inspiration taken from bkrwm13's post on Reddit.
1st ability: This asset takes the chassis of the Invoke and Lightbearer rituals, taking from the first the imposing cost of enduring damage while taking from the latter the granting of a fixed value of the asset resource.
As opposed...

Note: This is an extra free asset. The second patron-exclusive asset is scheduled to be released on the 29th.
DESIGN NOTES
1st ability: The main ability traces the one of the Commander path asset, while adjusting the semantic values to fit the theme. I didn't name any move, and simply abstract it as "when making a move that requires you roll +supply", to adhere to the wording of the Mammoth companion asset, which aims to accomplish the ...

Asset - Flogger (Combat Talent)
DESIGN NOTES
Icon: I'm using the same icon as in the Ironcrunch whip item card. However, in order to avoid repetition in the visual representation of the cards, I slightly tweaked this one to remove the grip, and thus emphasize the "flogger" (the talent) instead of the "whip" (the object). Just a little minutia that hopefully adds distinction.
1st ability: At first, I was considering rewarding rolling either +iron or +edge, similarly to...
