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...

Work continues! It remains an absolutely massive book and is taking a long time, but still plugging away.

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.

Also a good reminder - you and the rest of the team working on that have made it into a really spectacular resource!

There will not be a compendium of the Thematic Toolkits, but they are being gradually absorbed by the Multiclasser's Manual line. 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. MoAR Complete: MoAR...

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.

Sure. Lockbuster rounds, taser rounds, beanbag rounds, baton ammo, etc. But a load of 00 buckshot, especially at close range, will also stop just about anyone in their tracks. That is a lot of kinetic energy delivered all at once.

Shotguns are really nasty close-quarters weapons. There's a reason why SWAT teams like them so much! Also, it's not even that hilarious to me; it feels very on-flavor for both heralds and rogues. I think shotgun + smite starts getting into the same flavor neighborhood as DOOM, and shotgun +...

Maybe eventually, but it's been a while since that page has been updated. Drivethru does have a Level Up category, though, so that's a good way to see the latest and greatest from those of us in the third-party community; that includes newer entries into the space like Variant Codex Press and...

5e and A5e aren't huge proponents of static bonuses, so that language seemed like a good way to "backdoor" a similar effect. Mathematically, it's identical though, you are correct. There's also a minor flavor element of their protections being less protective against you and your allies, rather...

It's mentioned up there and will be in one of the planned releases, have no fear! While the primary goals of this and my other releases are to add something cool to the system and make enough money at it to make continuing worthwhile, the SCS line has two secondary goals: maintain a release...

You missed a couple and/or gave me more credit than I'd earned on the AG classes! We've still got the bard, berserker, and marshal in addition to the sorcerer out of that book, and there's also the artificer from GPG 0, too! The next two releases will be called Arcane Power and Frontline Fury...

Volume 3 of Single-Class Synergy is now available! This volume covers the adept, druid, and herald first-party classes and the champion and witch third-party classes. The champion is found in Martial Artistry that just released earlier this month! For those who haven't seen the previous two...

I know you didn't ask me, but I can offer a few pieces of advice as someone whose total number of designed archetypes is now in the triple digits. ;) The first is to check the power level of the features for other archetypes of the same level. If you're still unsure, look at features from...
