Great news! I finished proofreading "The Old Sage", and uploaded it to DriveThruRPG. Now I have to wait for the printer's OK, then I can order my proof print, and once that one has arrived and looks good, I can finally publish the new adventure! #RPG #TTRPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG
A screenshot from our DriveThruRPG publisher page which shows that the adventure has been uploaded as PDF both for digital, as well as for print-in-demand, with the current status of the latter being:
Title in Premedia
A1 - 1001 - Preparation of supplied content files has begun

For the adventure, enemies, NPC, and accomplishments needed to be adjusted for the group being able to level up. I'm working on treasures right now, then I'll have to make sure the page layouts are looking good, and, finally, to do a last round of proofreading. #RPG #TTRPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG
The screenshot shows a LibreOffice Calc table, used to calculate the XP Budgets for all monsters, NPC, and accomplishments in the adventure, in order to check if the characters will be able to level up as intended.
All monster, NPC, tasks, and locations are smudged to become unreadable, to not give away too much of the adventure.

Sorry for not posting any updates for two weeks, but I caught a really bad summer cold. 🤢 🤧 I'm now back again and working on "The Old Sage" since Monday already, making some good progress, too. As such, stay tuned! 😊 #RPG #TTRPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG

I'm just back from a quite relaxing vacation at my mother's place back in Germany to recharge, which means that on Monday, I will continue to work on the first "The Council of Gothmoor" adventure. Stay tuned - and enjoy your weekend! #AndersRPG #Valtetine #TTRPG #RPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG

It's that time of the year already - time to take some time off to regenerate those small grey cells! As such, it will be some couple of weeks before I have any news about ANDERS and Valtetine. I hope you enjoy your summer, too! #AndersRPG #Valtetine #TTRPG #RPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG

This week, I was able to finalize all maps for "The Old Sage" and to finish the introduction and first chapter. I also started the descriptions for the second one. As usual, it takes longer than anticipated and hoped for, but I'm still happy with my progress. 🤓 #RPG #TTRPG #PF2e #pathfinder2e #TCoG
The image shows the lower floor of one of the locations in the adventure. There is a spiral staircase on the western side of a round tower, connected to large room by a short, but wider hallway. There are two rooms both north and south of the large room, and some simple furniture, chests, and barrels can be seen in all rooms. There are two large statues in front of the eastern wall, too. All doors seem to be missing in the whole complex.

I've started working on the first campaign for our second product line, which is called "Valtetine - The Forgotten Continent" and will be available for PF2 (remastered). This is the entrance to one of the first adventure's locations, a very old tower. #PF2e #TTRPG #RPG
The image shows the ground floor of an old tower with a diameter of 25 ft (7.5m), located close to a mountainside. There is a spiral staircase leading up/down in the west, and an open pit in the east. The main entrance, an open archway, is in the south.

My print-on-demand proof of the ANDERS Core Rules has just arrived at my place, and the first impression is that it looks amazing! Now I have to check that everything was printed correctly, then I can make it publicly available for ordering from DriveThruRPG. Stay tuned! 😎 #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The photo shows the ANDERS Core Rules hardcover book laying on a white table, with its thick spine pointing towards the viewer. The cover page shows the already well-known orange-tinted photo of Cochem castle, with the "ANDERS" logo in orange at the top, followed by the smaller text "A Nimbly Designed Exciting Role-Playing System". In the lower part of the cover page, the book's title "Core Rules" can be seen in large white letters. Below it, it says "This book contains all information you need to be able to play ANDERS".

Since all the temporary illustrations in the ANDERS Core Rules have already been updated with the great art of Kiril Tchangov (kirilot.com), I've now made a hardcover print-on-demand of it. As soon as my ordered print proof arrives and checks out, it will be available as well! #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The image shows the first page of the chapter "Magic Skills and Spells" of the ANDERS Core Rules book, with a half-page coloured drawing of a mage casting an "acid ray" on their enemy, hurting the target quite badly. The enemy has an expression of pure horror on his face, staring at the now partly visible bones of his left hand and forearm!

In preparation for creating the print-on-demand version of the ANDERS Core Rules book, I used the opportunity to improve the map for the Kingdom of Aroath a little bit. Do you like the smoother design? #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG #ttrpgDesign #mapmaking #mapdesign
The updated map of the Kingdom of Aroath. The coastline and deep sea borders have been changed from being full hexes to now being a nice smooth line, with some added colour effects.
Additionally, the Boltern Wood part of the map has been adjusted to better reflect the smaller region map in regards to which hexes are actually part of the Boltern Wood.

In order to get it published in time for Christmas last year, the ANDERS Core Rules book used some CC/PD images for illustrations. It took some time, but now the first illustrations from Kiril (kirilot.com) are coming in, and I think that they look gorgeous! What do you think? #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG

I'm still waiting for some quotes from some of the artist, but in the meantime, I have already finished the "Weapons Table" illustration for ANDERS' core rule book myself, and am now working on the "Armour and Shields" one in the same style. #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The screenshot shows the different types of medieval weapons used in ANDERS, with little numbers besides them to make it easier to find the corresponding description. All weapons are drawn in a more technical, pseudo-3D way (with colours, shadows, reflections, and lighting).

I started to get quotes from different artists, and since I'm on a tight budget, it looks like the core rule book's art style is going to be a bit more simple. Additionally, I decided to create some of the more "technical" illustrations myself, like e.g. these weapons. #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
A screenshot showing some of the weapon illustrations which will be in the core rule book. The displayed weapons look quite realistic and more effective than what is typically used in most other fantasy RPG, which matches the more gritty and medieval vibe of ANDERS.

I had a blast doing my 3 introductory sessions for ANDERS at hal-con.com! People playing it especially liked the combat and the magic system - one of them even said "I really like it, it is much better than the one from D&D — it's more authentic." (about the combat system). #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
A photo showing a table with 4 players smiling to the camera. On the table, in front of the GM screen on the right side of it, a coloured combat map can be seen with some unpainted miniatures, the group had just defeated the main enemy of the adventure (it was actually the main enemy of the first half of the full adventure, but since we only had 4 hours, I changed the introductory one-shot adventure a bit, with the second part — which is more of a "political puzzle" anyways, which could be solved with or without fighting — being solved through about 40 minutes of role-playing instead).
You can see a red-haired young girl on the left, two middle-aged men behind the table, and a younger man with long hair and glasses sitting in front of the table, his head turned about halfway to the camera.

A first look of the GM screen inserts for ANDERS (from the GM's side). We intend to publish the inserts (of course with some great images for the front side of the GM screen) on DriveThruRPG as well (as a PDF, print-on-demand, and together with their customizable GM screen). #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
A photo showing a customizable game master screen with four home-printed inserts for the ANDERS RPG, as seen from the game master's point of view.
The first panel from the left is titled "Animals, Monsters, Environment, Health" and shows 16 tables with data for these topics.
The next panel is titled "Combat and Other Skills" and shows 9 different formulas in regards to combat, combat options, and skill checks, as well as 12 tables with the correspondent data, e.g. the different types of cover, influences from the environment, and so on.
The third panel is titled "Magic Spells and Prayers" and shows the 3 formulas for checks and 10 tables, with three of them being the whole list of magic spells, miracles, and curses from the core rule book.
Finally, the fourth panel is titled "Perception, Actions, and Skill Difficulties" and it provides 17 tables with difficulties and other information about these topics.

Another week has come and go, and I was able to finish the layout and proofreading for the ANDERS RPG core rule book. I have already started on some inserts for a GM screen (see image), and will now try to find an illustrator for the remaining illustrations. Wish me luck! #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
A screenshot showing one of the 4 pages of the new game master screen. It shows the formulae for both casting spells and prayers, as well as the corresponding casting options, difficulties/Power of Faith, and familiarity/Trust in God. Also included is the full spell and prayer list from the core rules (as tables), which shows the grade/Power of Faith, range, and casting time for each spell.

I've finished the layout and proofreading of Appendix #1 and 2/3 of Appendix #2. As an example of a monster description, here is a "Magical Homunculus" from the "Monsters" appendix. [Sorry for the late update, I was too busy on Friday to post it] #AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
A page from Appendix #2 (Monsters). It shows the stats and description of a Magical Homunculus. It starts like this:
Homunculus, magical
Tiny magical construct, size category 1, level 6
A magical homunculus is a tiny construct which looks like a tiny human with four insect-like wings. They are created by channeling magic into the physical world and then manifesting this magic into a mostly magical being. Similar to their alchemical counterpart, they are typically used as a tool to help with some simple tasks, or as spies and messengers. A magical homunculus is normally loyal to their creator, but can often be somewhat mischievous in its behavior. Because of their magical nature and appearance, they can be easily confused with smaller fairies.
