I bounced off of campaign 1.
I bounced off of campaign 2.
I never even tried campaign 3.
I got through Age of Umbra and enjoyed it enough, but it was mostly an extended Daggerheart tutorial for me (and quite valuable in that capacity).
I clicked on C4E1 on a bored impulse was riveted. I'm...
Volume 5 of Single-Class Synergy is now available! This volume covers the berserker, marshal, and savant first-party classes and the bloodblade, gunslinger, and sentinel third-party classes. The bloodblade is from Bloody Heretics from Plant Witch Press, and the gunslinger and sentinel from...
I vote for magic items and heritages! You've done a lot of the other stuff and comparatively few of those, so I'm interested to see what you come up with.
A bunch of questions in one there, so let me tackle those one at a time:
As far as motif classes go, no, I'm not moving away from synergy feats as a general practice. We just had some fun ideas for motif classes to showcase some various cool elements in this book - in particular, some of the...
Oh! I was looking at the wrong feat. Yes, that's just a straight-up formatting error you've found. I will get that fixed (I'll probably add the fix at the same time I get the Foundry module). I'm glad I asked, thank you!

Volume 4 of Single-Class Synergy is now available! This volume covers the artificer, bard, and sorcerer first-party classes and the elementalist and warcaster third-party classes. The warcaster is from Steampunkette's newest release: Martial Artistry.
For those who haven't seen the previous...
I'm not opposed to the idea, but because they're shorter, they'd need to be combined with some yet-to-be-determined (and yet-to-be thought-up) material to make it a decent-sized hardcover. I prefer to stick to 200+ pages for hardcover releases.

Right now, this is the list of smaller products absorbed into larger ones for PMG. You'll need to ask other creators for their own lists.

And if you're using slugs, most body armor won't protect the target. It won't be as messy as buckshot, but that's also "drop a bear" levels of stopping power.
