New Dragonmark: Arcane Science (Patreon)

Hi Everyone!

November was a challenging month, and December will be as well. Setting aside the holidays, my company Twogether Studios is also releasing The Adventure Zone: Bureau of Balance this month, and there's things I have to do with that. Beyond that, the development of Threshold has taken more time and effort than I expected. I decided to create a roster of ten player characters, to ensure that players will have a wide range of options to choose from and that no one will end up having to play a character they dislike... But that resulted in sixteen polls, and most of those required the same effort on my part as writing an IFAQ. I really enjoyed the entire process, but I know it means that for those of you who AREN'T part of Threshold, this was a somewhat lean month in terms of content. However, Threshold will not be so demanding every month. While there will always be polls as we continue to collaborate on the story, there's not going to be 15 polls each month. 

However, this DOES mean that I'm behind on articles. Furthermore, in approaching the topic of arcane science and industry, I've found that it's a big topic. I posted an article on Flight in November. I've just posted an article on arcane theory. But it's going to take at least two more articles of similar size to properly cover this topic. I do have holiday travel this month, and I intend to run the first Threshold game session before the month is over. All of that means that I'm not doing a poll for a new article this month. As patrons, you'll get three dragonmark-length articles this month, but both in terms of time and the creative space in my brain, there's no way I can add an ADDITIONAL topic on top of that. I will post a call for short questions soon. 

Thank you for your support: it's the only thing that allows me to write articles like this one. And thanks to all of you who are participating in Threshold (and for the record, our final Threshold character is a worg Gloomstalker ranger who has a close bond to the Flame, who received a disturbing prophecy from Sora Teraza and chose to abandon their position in the Dark Pack of their own free will). Enjoy the latest article!
