Spell Choices #2

 

Based on feedback here are two new choices, thanks for taking time to provide feedback!

Spell Choices

As I put together the Magi Carta, I'd like your feedback on which spell description you prefer.

Option A, just the text
Option B uses a grey box over the spell description to differentiate it.

Nearly 600 spells to reference...so choose wisely!

New HOW review!

GO SEE!

Hero's Progress

So here is a quick look at where we stand:

Magi Carta is about 85% complete
Cauldron #1 is about 60% complete

After those two I'd like to focus on creating a Barrow exploration sandbox sort of setting...but I will also continuing working on the HOW version of Lee Reynoldson's REDWALD.

In fact I have commissioned Luigi "Artkid" to start new illustrations, many of which will appear in the HOW version of Redwald!

I am geeked about Redwald for a couple reasons: 1) Lee's fantastic vision and writing 2) I love the Dark Ages 3) This HOW system lends itself to a gritty style of play.

Let me also share a very cool resource with you, Ancient Warfare and Medieval Warfare magazines.  These are outstanding resources if you enjoy not only learning about warfare in different era, but about the equipment and battles of the past!  Even better? Ancient Warfare magazine has an extensive free PODCAST library! These are great roundtable discussions of various topics found withing the magazine issues.

I really consider these outstanding resources which one could add any amount of fantasy elements too, or could be tweaked and fit into semi historical setting like Lee Reynoldson's Redwald.

The work continues...

Cauldron #1 cover

Not quite complete but close to done...can't wait to get Magi Carta and Cauldron #1 done!

18 and spells are done

And that is a wrap, all spells through IQ18 are complete in the Magi Carta.  Next comes combining this work with the original HOW spells list.  So its close to 600 spells!  The work continues...

Where we are

So a quick work in progress report. I only have the IQ 18 spells to complete...then shuffle the original HOW spells into it, update the master spell list and the BULK of the Magic Carta is done.

Problem is this is taking a lot more time than I anticipated, so my work on Cauldron #1 has slipped.  To that end, and given my job work and travel schedule, Cauldron #1 will not be out in March...instead I am aiming for a late April release.  At the same time that means I expect (but can't promise) to release the Magi Carta this month.

So don't let the quiet make you think things aren't in progress.
