"What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for." This quote sums up the gratitude I've been feeling to be working on Weepstone.

I’m still here! Just now realizing I haven’t posted for a month 😅 Getting a lot done though: ✅ Spell System ✅ Leveling Up ✅ Resting in safe rooms ✅ The Handbook of Players ✅ Weepstone Town planned out ✅ Lots of art! Lots of content! So here’s a new room. Wonder what it's for...?

Weepstone's doomsayer Dalton Cockburns wanders the streets, somewhat mad, wearing his shoddy “The End Is Near” sign. It’s only fitting that he starts the game wearing it (AC 1). 🐦‍⬛The Secret of Weepstone🐦‍⬛

Finally had a chance to add in d8's, d10's and d12's. And speaking of d12s, I've always loved the roll of a dodecahedron, easily my favorite die. I need to create more opportunities to use them. Game link below 👇

In Weepstone, quite a bit of XP will actually come from finding treasure. To score them, you will need to place them safely in a Trophy Case (WIP). ⚔️The Secret of Weepstone⚔️
