Projects update

Times being what they are, I've gotten rather behind on my posts and projects. Progress is a bit slow, but I am still working on several of them as much as I can. So, here's a little update on where I'm at, and what kinds of things I'm excited to share with you all... hopefully soon!

Of course, we'll be starting with the Spelljammer stuff first.

Jammin' in Wildemount

Ever since The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount came out, I've been thinking about different ways I could slide a bit of Spelljammer flavor into such an already rich setting. It's been a few months since I posted the first installment of my Jammin' In Wildemount series (The Crown of Wind and Stars), but don't worry, more posts are on the way! In the next installment I'll talk about The Cobalt Soul and the Cerberus Assembly getting their hands on spelljammer helms and racing to be the first to explore wildspace. That means not one, but two ships! After that will be Darktow's secret weapon- a vessel made of cobbled together broken ships, covered in cannons. Will it also be capable of flight, due to a spelljamming helm? Very probably.

I'm currently only planning three posts in this series, but it could easily expand in the future. I have so many ideas!

Jammin' in Avernus Art Update

JiA has been sorely needing something a bit more eye-popping to catch people's attention while they are scrolling the DM's Guild, so I've been practicing my drawing! I'm hoping to give it a snazzy new cover image and character/ship art for each of the entries.

Top Secret Third Jammin' Project!

I have plans in the works for another Spelljammer inspired supplement bound for the DM's Guild. I don't want to give too much away at this point, but I'm aiming to have at least part of it ready to go by the end of October. Keep your eye on the blog for a special sneak peek!

The Bonded Class

After the Spelljammer stuff, the second biggest project that I am working on is a new class: The Bonded. Almost since we started playing 5th edition, my wife Jenn has been wanting a class that would let her live out her summoner dreams. Unfortunately, running around befriending monsters and forging summoning contracts is very difficult to balance, but over the last couple of years I've been working to build a companion based class that offers a similar sense of shared growth and a deep connection with your bonded spirit. I also wanted to make the Bonded feel like it could fit right in with other classes in the PHB. So, I've done my best make sure it is built on the mechanics and philosophies of 5e.

We're in the home stretch at this point. I will be posting the Bonded to DM's Guild when we clear the last few hurdles, but expect some at least one lore post here before it goes up. Possibly even a guest post by my lovely wife/editor.
 

Monster Archetypes

On a similar class-building note, I've been wanting to release some archetypes that are based on certain enemies from the Monster Manual and various adventures. Sort of a companion to my Monster Weapons supplement. Hopefully you'll find them as fun and interesting as I do!

Cosmetic Spell Changes

And finally, one project that has been gathering dust for too long now is my Cosmetic Spell Changes supplement. It goes through most of the spells in the PHB and gives alternate visual themes for your spells depending on where they are cast or who/what you learned them from. I'm also planning to add more spells from other sourcebooks later.


Thanks for taking a look at this update/project round-up! I hope you will enjoy seeing these when they are complete.
