Master List 1.36

Happy new year to all who made it to the finish line, and thank you all for another year of getting to do this. I'm aiming for a couple of lofty goals this year; lets see if we hit them:

• Aiming for two book releases this year, plus updates to bring all my old ones up to snuff.

• I recently got to talking with the managing editor of Horizons (spiritual successor to Arcadia magazine), and a collaboration of some kind seems imminent.

• Once I've got the full context of the 2025 MM to draw from, I'm planning to revamp the stat block presentation again, probably reincorporating some design elements from my 2014 format.

• The Foundry module has suffered too long under my flailing so I'm hoping to hand it off to someone competent in exchange for currency.

Collaborations: 

Working with Kevlar Cat on a big update to the Wrestler for the 2024 rules that I'm really excited about so far; I'm trying to find a pro-wrestler or two to consult on it and make sure it captures the core fantasy, so if any of y'all have experience in the ring or play with anyone who does get at me.

Jack Dup Dungeons did a 2014 conversion for the Goon, including several new subclasses:

• Goon 2014

Stuff You Should Check Out: 

• Mimir.net is all of the 2e Planescape books rolled together into one easily navigable site, preserving all the charm and wonder of the best official D&D books ever published. Jon Winter-Holt has been maintaining and updating it for 28 years now, and if you've got any interest in D&D lore you've gotta check his site out.

• Boyfriend Dungeon. It's a dungeon crawler/dating sim where you date your weapons, who all have lavishly animated magical girl transformations.

• Emil. Nothing at all to do with D&D, but this weirdo is my new favorite youtube channel. Reminiscent of Brian David Gilbert's pre-Polygon videos.

Upcoming in January: 

Cold monsters! Loads of them! Also, more dogs than you can shake a stick at!
