MAJOR UPDATE:
It's become clear that the final page count of this project was going to be past the point where I would realistically expect a POD hardcover to hold its cohesion, and I also have been wanting to get something larger out sooner than this is taking.
While working on some graphic...
Another update:
This is probably going to be a 2026 release at this point. Some of the new magic systems are taking a bit of extra time. The plan is to keep it up with small and medium-sized releases as I continue to work on this big one.
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!
I'm sorry that specific feat chain didn't do it for you - the improvised weapon thing feels more like the thing a person who is specifically resourceful in a fight gets - it's way more Jackie Chan than Tony Stark to my mind (to use some pop culture references).
As far as the engineering...
They're separate bullet points - I'm not sure I'm grasping why you think they need further differentiation? Can you explain in a little more detail what's giving you difficulty?
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.
