Today's Playtest Arena, Upcoming Items, and End of Month Update

I haven't put a news update here in a bit, so I figured I'd post and give the general plan.

Immediately Upcoming:

• The Friday Arena Playtest starts in just an hour on Twitch! If you want to swing by and watch our brave volunteers face off, we have three Artificers backed up by a Cleric taking on the arena this time! Stream will start at 10pm GMT/6pm EDT/3pm PDT and run for about three hours! This time I'll be playing the arena master.
• I normally stream Tuesday/Friday at that time, and every other Friday a streamed playtest. That means our next ones for the upcoming month will be June 5th and June 19th! If there is sufficient interest in joining them, I may try to ramp them up to weekly, but that's a bit more than I can promise right now. The next Tuesday Stream will continue on combat feats and fighting styles!
• I am thinking since we know the schedule in advance, I will try to put up a google sheet of some kind for sign ups by date. There will be another post/when if that goes up, but if sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to let me know so I can gauge interest in this sort of thing. In the long run we might alternate between "Arena" playtests and "Scenario" playtests, but we'll see, I don't have any firm plans yet besides that playtests will happen as I can manage :)

Soon!

• The Warlord update is coming very soon and will probably be the next thing out the door. Revamping Overwhelming Mark and a plethora of small things.
• It will launch with the revamped Gifted (Psionic Warlord) and the Magic Warlord we worked on during the stream in the new Expanded Tactics expansion for it.
• The Artificer items we worked on will get added to the Expanded Toolbox.
• The Psionic items I recently posted will get added to the Expanded Options there along with a few new Talents and Feats.

Soon... (the other kind of soon)... Things I am working on, but not willing to promise an exact date for:

• New Warlock subclass is mostly done. Lurking the shadows and up to no good...
• Weather Effects proved popular. I will probably expanded on that system.
• Heroic Inspiration is overdue for an update I've had in the works for a bit.
• Oracle is in the early stages of Playtesting and should join the Occulist roster soon, along with an overhaul to weapon spells, shaman, and some small tweaks here and there and new Rites.
• I have not forgotten about the Runesmith. It's coming.
• Crafting 2.0 has made some fairly decent strides. We are going back to a d20 system, and working on simplifying the progression systems as much as possible; making innovations and recipes for broader categories.
• Common Items revamp will work in parallel to crafting as they are related. We may see another update of those before we see Crafting 2.0 though.
• Lineage Levels got another update, so if the initial playtesters are happy we might something more on them.

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from Reddit, but I'll be back to posting there next week, and I'm always available on Discord. I've made a Facebook and Twitter page to reach out to new groups of people and have posting there as I can, and of course we do our Twitch streams twice a week :)
