I feel kinda lousy today, so I don't have much in me to write, but I want to weigh in about the Loreshaper Games release schedule for the next year or so (as planned).

Because I'm doing freelancing now, I don't have as much time to work on my own games.

I'm thinking as a result to divide the year into trimesters and set each to a particular purpose:

Trimester 1: Genship Exiles

My goal is to focus on Genship Exiles; I think I can get it done by March, though we'll see.

Trimester 2: Velotha's Flock

Right now velotha's flock is both a pride and a shame; I never finished the advanced player's guide (the rules are finished, but I never finalized it), and I think I want to make a prose version to get around some of the stupid free-verse issues. Also, while I like using the very old art and poems in-line (the mood poems will definitely stay), I think I might commission a cover for it.

I think this could be done in May or June.

Trimester 3: Hammercalled

Othenar, most likely. This might run all the way to the end of the year.

Notable Absences

Hwaet's not here, in part because I'm just not feeling it well. I think the concept I've scratched out is good, but it's just lacking in any "wow" factor. I think it could fit in wherever, once I get a good idea of what will make it actually mechanically work.

I'm also thinking I might do small monthly games starting in February. Not sure exactly how/what.

I'm also slowing down release schedules because I'm going to try and write a book or two that isn't a game this year; push myself to more diligently explore a topic rather than the shallow daily posts I usually do.
