Coming at you a little late this week with the WIP "Wednesday" post, but behold! The Traitor! In all his unholy glory!
We figured this time we would show the majority of the development process (and we may start doing this more often in the future) to show how the art evolves as we work on the release.
Hi all,
First off, I wanted to share a new feature coming for Loremasters in 2026!
We have created a TON of content over the years (we are nearing 3,000 pages of backlogged content for all of you + maps, tokens, printable cards, music, and more!)
And we realized that it can sometimes be hard to find what you are looking for. Maybe you want a CR 6 Undead monster for your session, or are looking for Blank subclasses or classes, or perhaps items of a certain rarity, but where...

This month’s release pulls back the curtain on the V.O.I.D. - the Order of the Blank’s research organization that houses the task forces that Verify, Observe, Identify, and Destroy the unnatural. Deep within the V.C.C. (V.O.I.D. Containment Center), Arbiters are shaped into perfect instruments of suppression, wielding warping technology that bends reality to help eradicate magic. Inside these sterile white halls, anomalies, spellcasters, and even god-like Outsiders themselves are captured...

Here's your next first-look at what's to come for next month's "Into the Chapperverse" release. Check out A.I. Chattercap for WIPWednesday!
A.I. Chattercap was dreamed forth by Ol’ Chap in a sort of nightmare. In it, Ol’ Chap dreamt of himself as a product of Blank design, a creature that despised magic, lacked creativity, and was nothing but a soulless shell regurgitating information. Despite this, within his strange nightmare, many adored h...
