Hi everyone,
I have just ordered the proof copy for the player's guide. It'll be anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks before I get it. Once I go through it, I'll begin shipping. I won't be shipping in bulk, however, so please don't camp out by your mailbox. I'll contact each of you individually when I ship your book and give you a tracking number.
I'll likely begin with The United States first, then Canada, Europe/UK, followed by Australia, just so you have at least an idea of where you stand in line.

Hi everyone, just popping in for May's update.
I'm getting close to ordering proofs of the player's guide. My main issue right now is going through each image and making sure it has the right color profile (CMYK) and I need to clear up some issues with fonts. Basically they don't look right in terms of color. I've never ran into that issue before, so I need to research the problem and figure it out, as I don't even want to order a proof if I know it's going to come back looking shitty.
Anyhow, that's all I have right now. I hope you are all doing well.
Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to say the player's Guide has been updated to the final version, and now I can prep the Print Files for upload to DTRPG. I also uploaded a form-fillable character sheet.
From here on out, any changes to the Player's Guide will be handled in the form of errata.
Once the print book is approved for sale, I'll begin the process of sending copies to you.
OK. That's all I have for now.
Take care.
4/26/23 Update: The Player's Guide, character sheet preview, and Cybercanum

Hi everyone, time for the monthly update.
In a few days I'll be uploading the last update to the Player's Guide before I order proofs of the Print on Demand version. At this point, I just can't mess with this book any longer. If it needs fixes later on, these will be detailed in an errata document.
I'll also be uploading an older form fillable character sheet, though it's missing data. I'm still working on a new one, and here's a small preview of what it will (tentatively) look like:
Finally, I've been doing a little bit of writing on the first spinoff in the Dark Pathways/Alternate Worlds stretch goal. I got inspired yesterday and reworked the intro fiction. If you want to read it, click on the link below:

OK that's it for the month. I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi everyone, I hope this update finds you well. I have a few things to talk about.
I haven’t got any news about print yet. There were a couple of issues I’ve needed to make to the Player’s Guide. Not huge things, mind you, but they were necessary changes. I needed to add two tables that were missing. I’m also prepping the book for Print on Demand, but that will take some time. It’s frustrating to note that POD prices are rising yet again, by 5%. Not happy about that, but it’s out of my hands. I hope to have POD ready so I can start shipping books in May, though that will be a slow process.
Much of the beginning of this month has been about taxes, so I haven’t gotten a ton of things done. Most of my “free” time has been evenly split between the GM’s Guide, a new form-fillable character sheet, learning Adobe Illustrator so I can create graphics for said sheet, and finally, writing an adventure.
I’ve also been loosely planning a Patreon dedicated to Cyberpunk locations. These will be about 32 pages in length and fully detail a location GM’s can use in their cyberpunk games. They’ll come with maps, new rules if needed, new gear and at least 2 savage tales. It’s not something I plan on having ready for a while yet. I might start it in July if I have enough content to support multiple months, but right now it’s on the back burner.
I’m also working on GM screen inserts. They’ll be 8.5 inch pages, though I can do landscape pages as well if that’s something people want.
Anyhow, that’s where I’m at right now.
Thanks for your time.
