Status, Fortune Cards Redesign and Development Plan

I'm currently overwhelmed by college and some other unannounced projects that might or might not be related to the focus of this Patreon. As a consequence, this month did not start on the right foot in terms of posting content, and many have unsubscribed.In the latest blog post, I clarified that the quest fronts production will be on hold to prioritize designing The Deck of Many Fortunes, and ...

The Deck of Many Fortunes - Preview

I've been toying with the idea of making a deck of tarot-size cards for the Ironsworn system for a while. The idea came to me when I read a supplement for Dungeons & Dragons (5th edition) called The Tarot of Many Things. I of course knew The Deck of Many Things, but I wanted something more, and this supplement was something more. The fact that it includes all 78 cards from the tarot into the d...

Social Media

I have never been a huge fan of social media, but I was convinced by a fellow Ironsworn content creator to improve my marketing, and now more than ever given that the first issue of the Quest Fronts magazine will come out in a few weeks. So to have a stronger presence on the Internet, I have created a Discord server, a Facebook page, and an Instagram account. Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Dis...

Artist's Workshop - Entrails, Doorways, and Quest Fronts Title Frame

When I resume the Patreon in February, I set a goal of $150 to hire an artist to illustrate all my work. But you know, I'm just not good at the business of holding efforts until I see the money. I'm way too driven by passion with all these projects, and I couldn't help but look for the artist already.THE WORKING STYLEIt all started when I started toying with the idea of making a cover ...
