Updated Longwinter PDFs (Patreon)

Dear heroes,

This is a short, and slightly unplanned, post. I hope you will forgive me this abuse of your email inboces.

When I finally released Longwinter in December of 2020, I included a mention of the band Iced Earth in the musical appendix. I had forgotten that I had also included a quote from their lyrics in the referee book.

I was never a big fan of the band, but along with Blind Guardian (of which I am a big fan), it was one of the bands I listened to in the mid 90s when I discovered heavy metal. I listened to them again in and around 2010 when I stopped pretending I would grow out of heavy metal and accepted that tastes don't define a person. Where they a major influence on Longwinter? I wouldn't say so. I would admit to including them out of a sense of completionism and thematic resonance.

On January 6th of this year, the singer of that band was one of the insurrectionists storming the US capitol in that day's pro-Trump coup attempt. I never have, nor will ever have, anything but disgust and condemnation for right-wing fascistoid assholes.

I removed the references from the music appendix, but missed the quote in the book itself. Hence why I had to update the Referee's Book twice on itch and dtrpg, and now here. Let that be a lesson: Ctrl+F exists for a reason.

As a bonus, both books have also passed a once-over at the eyes of your fellow hero-typohunters, which has caught several gremlins left over in the process. 

Finally, I've added new hi-resolution wallpaper for your delectation.

Finally, it's not the perfect time to mention it, but still: wow, 599 folks here! Welcome! Wonderful! If someone had told me we could achieve something like that back when I started with patreon, well. I'd have hardly believed them.

Thank you for your heroic support.

And thank you for understanding the Frozen Soil debacle.
