Yeah, this also keeps me from making too many overlapping adversaries as well - you only need so many "guy with sword" entries

This is my initial inclination, as the biomes one would need to include things like creatures native to each, but I count it as separate because when people ask for a monster book, they want a book with a lot of monsters!

A monster book would be more immediately useful, and give me an excuse to pull out my dragonquest and zelda art-books off the shelf again.

Biomes would be a little more creatively fulfilling for me as a creator, and I could do a lot of setting stuff with it

Decisions, decisions

With START the layout mines, I've been tying up loose ends and plotting out the next thing. A Monster/Adversary book is highly requested, but I want to work on one for the setting's biomes!

I also have adventures to work on, because I can't not make a unique adventure for any group I run for...

This morning I drew a test illustration to accompany the rules. But note that it is just a test as I think Daria is still tweaking things.

And I naturally love the character sheets! Remember what I posted about character sheet artist being a good niche to fill in the indy #TTRPG ecosystem. :)

Happy to spread the word. 😁
I'm also trying to create more adversaries for the blog, but maybe some sample battlefield maps might be good sometime as well 🤔
