Status Update and Poll Results

4/9/2015

Hey, so I've got enough of the survey results in that I can declare the winners for what will be the first mini-expansions. The first class mini-expansion will be the Rogue! The Shieldbearer was close, but the Rogue edged it out. The first genre for a new skin of the adventure is Urban Fantasy - and that vote wasn't particularly close.

The past week, I've finished up a lot more work on Kits, and begun development on Adversarial Play. See all twelve Kits here. The file is updated with new content, edited versions of the previous content, a bit more explanation for what Kits do, and nicer formatting. Please send feedback! I loooove feedback!

If you checked it out last week, you'll notice that the Wizard is now gone. There was a lot of discussion about the Wizard, and about whether it was too strong or too broad or not, but the problem turned out to be something entirely different. The problem was that the Wizard was undermined by simple skill rolls. The Wizard kit was requiring you to spend resources to achieve things that could generally be achieved by rolling your skills without spending points. So it had to go. The psychic had some major problems too, along similar lines, and got a major edit as a result. Will there be a new Wizard? I won't say definitely not, because if the right spirit strikes me it'll happen... but it's not a priority right now, and I'm more concerned with making sure the Kits that are already there are as strong as they can be.

The Art of Strike!

Let's talk about the artists working on Strike right now. I want to thank three people for their help in making the game and the Kickstarter look cool. First up, we have Yuri Kavalerchik. His cartoony style is a great fit for the lighthearted themes of Strike. He is the primary illustrator for rules, with art that conveys the concepts while also looking great.

Next, we have Kyla Austin. Her more realistic style is well-suited to background pieces and smaller designs that make reading the book a more beautiful experience.

Next, we have Fiona Marie. She hasn't been drawing for the game. Instead, her input for layout and art direction has been vital in helping the overall design come together. I don't have an image to put here, but when you read the preview, the overall look of the layout and the cute little dice page numbers come from her.

Many thanks to my artists!
