In case you were wondering why the membership count dropped from 10k to 9k — I went through the list and banned the obvious spam accounts.

Yes, there were (over) a thousand. Yes, G+ really sucks at auto-screening spam accounts. So it goes.

It won’t be on retail shelves, so it doesn’t need a title or back cover copy or anything. Figured I might as well do something crazy while I can. 🙂

We plan to do a spot-gloss on the blades, matte finish for the rest of the cover.

Duskwall Maps Patreon

Scoundrels, I have very good news for you. The incredibly talented Ryan Dunleavy is launching a Patreon to make even more maps of Duskwall.

He’s making rooftop maps of individual buildings all around the city… PLUS, if you support at a higher level, you get interior floor plans, too! It’s amazing.

Also: Just for pledging (at any level) you get Ryan’s super-detailed map of the city at hi-resolution for use in your games. Some of you have seen this map in the Bloodletters series I run on YouTube. It’s awesome.

Last but not least: Ryan has made the huge city map available for print in a variety of sizes (including huge wall posters). You can find the link to the print shop on the Patreon page.

I’m so excited for this project. Duskwall is coming alive!

The Faction Game v8

Here’s the new mechanic for the Faction Game in v8. I’ve changed the cost of development and simplified hold to only two states (either strong or weak). I wanted to remove the ‘false choice’ feeling in this part of the game and make it more straightforward. There are plenty of interesting choices elsewhere in the game, so I wanted this part to boil down to “pay to increase Tier now, or not” more or less.
