New Releases and Future plans (Patreon)

I'm still getting use to patreon so I forgot to post it here, but incase you didn't know, last month we had a brand new release! Presenting the Exceptionals Expansion Line. That's right, not just Welcome to Reedsboro but something extra by a regular collaborator David Fernandez. 

Life in Reedsboro is no vacation...

Situated in the Outer Banks, Reedsboro is a tourist town that caters to a set of people that are only there for 3 to 6 months of the year but can’t decide whether it wants to be a summertime paradise for families and surfers or a historic get-away full of colonial and pirate history. Build community in the rural south and combat the tools used to divide and conquer Southern oppressed communities such as rural isolation, Right-wing Christian infrastructure, racism, environmental degradation, and economic oppression. On top of your normal strange and wild comic book threats.

Welcome To Reedsboro is a toolbox for any Exceptionals game, filled with things to make getting a game up and running that much easier. Including;

• A city full of npcs and locations
• Ready to play example characters
• The pre-made base; The Cairo Classic
• 4 whole new protocols that explore new possibilities within the guided tag system (The Adventurer, The Hustler, The Domain, and The Echo)
• Over 114 story hooks

Take to the streets. Be a hero.

The City is alight with technological marvels. The City hides mysteries in its shadows. In this heady mix of glitz and gloom are the heroes: ordinary people with extraordinary abilities fighting to protect their communities.

With Streetscapes you can transport your Exceptionals game into a world of pulp fantasy. Tell exciting stories of community, activism and freeze-rays atop airships and in silhouetted alleyways. Fight back against structural violence and exploitation in a City that your playgroup creates together. In this module you will find:

• A discussion on the Raygun Noir genre and how to incorporate it into your game.
• Ideas on what sort of technologies are present in a retro-futuristic world.
• Changes to the Exceptionals character creation process to make your own pulp hero.
• A simple way to collaboratively create your own fantastic City using three Aspects.
• Sample adventures to kickstart campaigns.
• Character, base and city sheets for your Streetscapes game.

Huckleberry patrons should already happy a copy of the first pdf in the mailbox. The second one was a bit of a surprise, and given it's not my work, it'd feel wrong to give it without permission. I hope y'all understand.

Anything new I do with Exceptionals at this point is likely going to be an Expansion title. Not that I'm planning on anything in the near future. Four Years and I'm ready for something new. The only thing I'd want to do at this point is make a set of protocols that open it up to being a general superhero game instead of just an x-men game. But I'd need more patreons before that happens.

So what's next?

Well, after I did a little bit more fiddling, the improv party game "Friday Night Event" is in finally layout. So expect that to be out soon with a quick turnover.

Then. A Little break. Just so I don't burn myself out and can get in the mindset of a new game. And it's a big one. I'm going to share my ideas and goals with Protect the Sacred soon. If Exceptionals was to prove  I could make a game, Protect the sacred is to flex.

I plan on doing a 4th draft of notes and some streams soon showing how I assemble an outline. Probably run a a few games to test mechanics. Both in my own and in other games I am looking at. Honestly, all this comes at a great time. I might have to move suddenly and soon due to landlord issues.  Being able to run some games with y'all and take a last pass on notes would do me good.

I also plan to start on the planning phase of a digimon themed game and clean up my game idea board. See what ideas still sound good. Which changed.

How about y'all? Is there any sort of game or theme you'd like to see me tackle?
