December 2023 Wrap Up (Patreon)

Greetings everyone!

First of all, Happy New Year and I hope you had a restful or at least enjoyable holiday season. I know it can come with a lot of ups and downs so let me just say first of all that I'm very glad you're here reading this in the new year. For us, 2023 was about recognizing our place in the industry and learning about what was sustainable for us long term. 2024 is about growth into a new sector of physical goods. There's more to come on that later in the year, but know that we're excited to share it all with you. 

You'll notice some different formatting here as we're wanting to start off the new year with some different vibes. Also this helps with our news letter. You'll notice we're now including inline images of each item. This is to give you something to glance at and know what we're offering for each. Also you'll notice a new section "Creator We Love" where we'll be featuring some of our friends and their project. The news section isn't gone, we just have nothing else to add this month, but next month that should change. Now, on to the wrap up!

Our new magic item releases for November:

Springfoot's Spirit

The greatest gift a Springfoot can bestow on an outsider from their society, this coat is not just a magical item, but a thank you from the community that gifts it to you. Also it gives you a pretty sweet tail which is always welcome.

Easy Back Oven

Probably the most convenient kitchen component one could dream up as it allows you to take the very heart of the home with you wherever your adventures may wander. Just because you're on the road doesn't mean you shouldn't have some lovely grub as well.

Release Post

Vanity

There are many beautiful things to love in this world, but for some, they only find what they desire most looking back upon themselves. At least with this violin, they can still get out in the world while keeping what they value most near.

Release Post

Lamplighter

The ancient order of the lamplighters began as simple servants that lit the braziers and lanterns of darkened corridors, but over time they grew to be some of the nobility's fiercest defenders. They swear an oath to bring light where there is dark and fight back the forces of evil wheresoever they reside.

Release Post

One More Thing:

A huge departure from the month prior, the Springfoot are a peace-loving culture of critters that look to separate themselves from outside influence. We absolutely loved bringing them to life and will be doing more with them in the future!

One More Thing: Springfoot

Reclusive creatures that seek only to practice their devotion to the Way of the Tail, the Springfoot live simple lives in their communities. While some would seek outside adventure, revealing the locations of their homes is not something that comes lightly.

Creator We Love:

Tom Cartos

It would have felt wrong to feature anyone other than Tom for our first Creator We Love section. Since the early days of AB, Tom has been supportive of us and our goals, but that's not the only reason we love him! His maps are some of the best out there with a realistic style and layouts that actually make sense and promote exploration. I used his maps for years before we even considered starting AB. With dozens of new maps, assets, and extras each month it's one of my favorite Patreons to support.

Join the Tom Cartos Patreon. 

As always, we package everything into convenient "Monthly Wrap Up" files for you. You can find them in your master posts where you can download everything from this month in one file.
