Next week I’m releasing IRON & BLOOD, the inaugural January playtest packet for INHERITOR, my dark fantasy RPG. Core rules, lifepath character gen, a demo region, treasures, and spells - all in the first of monthly playtests as we build toward release. Excited for folks to tear it apart. 🗡️

A NEW UPDATE TOUCHES THE BACKERKIT www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

A bright magenta banner featuring bold black typography. The header reads “CERTAIN FATHOMS • UPDATE #6 • POST-CAMPAIGN.” The main title in large serif lettering says “The One About Distributing Digital Files & Bonuses.” A subtle wavy line pattern decorates the right side, and a small black square with the number “6” appears in the top-right corner.

Today was Cabral's last day in #OVER/UNDER. She spoke with friends. Sat in a garden. Gave up her titles. Broke up with her girlfriend. Sent someone a gun. Made her peace. Waited for her ride.

Can confirm. Getting this in the mail was a lovely experience. The paper feels great, the margins are spacious enough while not feeling like there's barely any text on the page. All in all, a great read (and buy)!
