“There are worlds beyond the one you call home; they exist at the periphery of your vision, and if you are very unlucky, you might just see something from one of them out of the corner of your eye.”
For years, years, I've been telling people, and myself, that I don't want to write a TTRPG, don't need to write a TTRPG.

Hey folks, just a quick update for you today. I finally managed to speak to the Drs and have started some new medication today which I'm hoping will improve my general health level and help me function "normally" more frequently, which is great news!
We should be fine and on track to release issue 25 next week, and then moving forward I'm hoping to hit a release date of the 25th of the month for new issues.
I'll also have a full preview of the issue 26 cover for you next week,...

The cover art for issue 26 is in and it is bloody good.
This piece, done by longtime contributor, Hokunin, depicts a new monster that's coming in issue 26 and if you look in the background there, you might just about be able to see their victim.
Work is still progressing on issue 25, I've taken the extra time from delaying a month to reassess one of the articles and swap it out, but I think it will be worth it, and work on planning for future issues is coming...

Greetings patrons, I wanted to give you a quick behind the scenes for how things are going here at Icarus HQ.
As mentioned in the recent update, thanks to a combo of factors of the last 6 months, including the OGL fiasco, multiple health problems, and other commitments, I'd felt like I was consistently treading water with the magazine in terms of delivering on time, so I made the choice to push issue 25's release back a month to late-July.
Over the last week I've been doing a ...

Greetings patrons, this isn't an update I wanted to write, but unfortunately I am going to delay the release of issue 25 until July.
This is something I wanted to avoid; we've already had several delays this year thanks to my health concerns, I really didn't want to have any more. Issue 25 is close to being finished, but there are still a few finishing touches needed.
But I've not...

Hey there folks, I just wanted to let you know that there may be a delay on issue 24. I have been on vacation this month and was planning on getting the issue out to you all before the 31st, but I've picked up a wicked illness and I've spent all this week laid up in bed unable to work.
I'm getting better, I feel much less like an incarnation of death itself today, but it's had a knock on effect for work, which might mean Issue 24 is a little later than usual.

Hey patrons, it's been a while since I've given you a BTS update, so I thought today I'd sit down and give you a little glimpse at what has been going on at Icarus HQ and where we're going in Q2.

Every time I sit down to do an update, I always talk about how much has been going on, and that remains true this time!
