I want to wish everyone who is celebrating it a happy Thanksgiving! I hope your celebrations are joyous and peaceful, and if you're traveling I hope your path is smooth and safe.
As long as we're in the mood to give thanks, I want to thank you, my Patrons, for joining me on this solo roleplaying journey. It truly feels like a group endeavor to me, and it's felt that way since the very beginning so long ago. So thank you very much :)

This is what this very simplified version of The Creature Crafter is looking like right now. This may change some by the time the issue comes out at the end of the month.

I've been hard at work getting Mythic Magazine Compilation #4 done. This one has been slow going for several reasons. It got bumped back as I worked on Mythic GME Second Edition. It also saw delays as I had to reformat much of the content because of formatting changes I've made to the magazine layout and Adobe changing its policies regarding what fonts it supports in InDesign.
