I do not know what I’m saying.
Anyway…
My schedule has lastly settled down. I’m caught up. And I intend to remain that means. Well timed releases of articles on time and no extra pushing aside the Stress Cube guidelines hack. I gotta get that out as a result of a lot depends upon it, together with a Kickstarter launch and a bunch of future hacks associated to one thing that rhymes with Clown Mode.
What’s coming this month? That’s an important query and an ideal segue into the…

What’s that mysterious Slapdash occasion? Nicely, it’s a kind of previewy-type alpha-testy-debriefy maybe-questiony-answery factor. I don’t actually know. I simply realize it’ll be my likelihood to speak concerning the by-then completed Slapdash Alpha Playtest and what comes subsequent. It’ll be recorded and launched for supporters.
And that gives an ideal segue into…
I’ve talked a couple of instances concerning the Slapdash RPG Engine. I’ve mentioned lots of random issues, however there’s nonetheless lots of confusion and I’m getting lots of questions. So let me attempt to make clear a bit, although please take into account that there’s some particulars that I’m enjoying near the vest proper now and there’s some particulars that I haven’t labored out.
Slapdash is a light-weight however crunchy fantasy tabletop roleplaying sport system I’m at the moment growing. It’s not the large, superior Indignant RPG that’s nonetheless effectively over a 12 months away or longer. It’s a aspect venture. It began in response to the WotC OGL Crapshow again in January and has since was a factor.
I envision Slapdash as one thing the scale and weight of Savage Worlds. And I’d wish to distribute it earlier than the top of the 12 months. Which may not be potential, but it surely’s my aim. And I’ll hold you within the loop about it. In its closing kind, Slapdash will comprise a PDF you could purchase on the Indignant Video games store.
Someday in late spring or very early summer season, Frienemy-tier Supporters on Patreon and Subscribestar can have entry to an Early Entry or Beta-Kind model of Slapdash they’ll strive. And they are going to be invited to supply restricted suggestions. As I iterate the design and proceed to playtest with my very own secret circle, I’ll replace the Early Entry model. When Slapdash is lastly and utterly achieved, those self same supporters will obtain that model free of charge as effectively. And thereafter, those self same supporters will obtain periodic bonus content material designed to be used with Slapdash. This replaces the D&D-specific bonus content material I’ve put out in years previous as that may grow to be more and more out of date as WotC motion pictures towards releasing One D&D and since I not really feel secure releasing content material for D&D regardless of WotC’s assurances that each one is nice.
Be aware, nonetheless, that the foundations hacks I launch publicly will proceed to be usable in D&D 5E, together with the upcoming City Mode hacks. I simply received’t produce D&D-specific bonus content material anymore out of an abundance of warning and since it’ll quickly be rendered out of date.
In the meantime, I may even proceed to share particulars with my followers all through the design and improvement course of.
In order that’s it. That’s the story of Slapdash. And that’s additionally what to anticipate from me this March.
