Full self-review of Ahu's First Patrol is done. Phew. Now, a bit of cleanup of character sheet and the map and then the external review can begin. Hope that they like what I wrote over the course of the last year.
#ttrpg #dnd #gamebook

Haha, that's great to hear.

Was it a dream or a nightmare?

Since the kickstarter finish, I fell a bit silent on the social media front. Reason is simply that I want to finish the gamebook. Reviewing, playtesting, but also sharpening the whole setting to avoid inconsistencies for the upcoming books.

A book titled Sandyakala di Timur Jawa by Prasetya Ramadhan lies on a light wooden floor. The cover shows a red and black illustration of an erupting volcano with thick smoke rising into the sky and silhouettes of ancient temple structures.

Using the long weekend to think more about historical references for Uoru, my Asian inspired #ttrpg setting. The best reference is probably the kingdom of Majapahit that stretched over large parts of south-east Asia from the 13th to 16th century. Cultural advisor gave me this book.

Hallo ihr Lieben!
Hab von der letzten Con noch Sticker Packs übrig: Standard 7€ und mit Effekt 9€ zuzüglich Versand. Auf dem Bild sieht man, welche Motive drin ist. Meldet euch gerne, wenn ihr welche haben möchtet.

Deep in playtesting and balancing Ahu's First Patrol. This is hard, which makes me appreciate even more what folks like Joe Dever, Steve Jackson, and Ian Livingstone did at a time when the digital tooling of today was not available.

That sounds worrying. Let's hope for the best.

Painted fantasy scene of a catfolk warrior raising a curved sword while holding a shield, standing in a flowering mountain valley with snowy peaks and a large purple planet in the sky. Text on the image reads: “Ahu’s First Patrol has reached its stretch goal. Thank y’all so much!”

My very first crowdfunding project was a nice success. It was thrilling to the last hours, but the stretch goal was achieved and now I will focus on finishing the gamebook as promised.

Again, thanks go out to all the supporters.

Now 15 Euro away from achieving the stretch goal. 8 hours remaining...

Now at 1927...

Black-and-white ink illustration of a spined jackal emerging from tall grass. The creature has a lean, canine body covered in sharp spines along its back and neck, its mouth open in a snarl as it steps forward. The scene is drawn with rough cross-hatching and wind-swept grass. A green “Ending Soon” Kickstarter label appears in the corner of the image.

Final 24 hours for the Ahu’s First Patrol Kickstarter.

We’re also very close to the stretch goal that unlocks 10 additional interior illustrations.

A promotional image to showcase art of a simple brushed tree, with and without an orange rune on the trunk, as well as three wax seals featuring the tree without the rune. The seals are in green, red, and brown.

It's been a minute since I've released a wax seal, and I thought this art I did for Unlimited Realms' Path Of The Divine Howl would be a good fit!

Wayfinders on Patreon can grab the art, a variant, and the wax seal in 3 colors here: bit.ly/mark-of-the-...

Real-Life Dungeons + TTRPG Roundup (#53) Lets inspire ourselves with some dungeon and underground city history! Also, recent TTRPG kickstarters, recent news, and game master advice pieces!

On this weeks Dungeon Delve, I highlight a bunch of great videos about ACTUAL dungeons and mind-blowing underground cities, caves, and tunnel systems.

This weekend is all about playtesting Ahu's First Patrol. Keeping all the different branches and options aligned in my small brain is, well, challenging. Fun fact: sometimes I read a section (there are 350 of them) and am surprised myself.

Vor Kurzem hatte ich das große Vergnügen, von @steamtinkerer.bsky.social in seinen Podcast eingeladen zu werden, wo ich über Ahu’s First Patrol sprechen durfte. Dabei konnte ich die ganze Geschichte erzählen–wie ich dazu gekommen bin, dieses Buch zu schreiben.
