Re: Hearkenwold

(First two parts of this retrospective are on the previous page.) Part 3: The Last Five Years and Beyond Starting the new year in 2017, I prepared to work on what I would call Chapter III of the module.

Re: Hearkenwold

Part 2: Early Stages of Development Looking back at the actual construction of the module, the IceBlink engine has undergone many changes and versions over the past decade. Hearkenwold was started before we even had a tilemap maker, and when tile and token sizes were 50 x 50. Without many art assets...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

slowdive, I was able to watch yesterday's stream of Raventhal a few hours afterward. It was great to see the 3D view in the iceblink basic version. Looked like a lot of fun with the fans following along.

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

Sounds good! I can't believe it has been ten years already, but that's right. The Kickstarter for IceBlink was funded back in November 2012.

Re: Hearkenwold

Will you be adding new psionic spells/traits? Thanks! Unfortunately, at this time, I had not planned on new psionic spells or traits, although given the release schedule, I can probably work something in. I have to give that some thought. In the gameworld, Psionicists are wizards who have more of a...

Re: Hearkenwold

November Update For the past few weeks, I have been working on the new Psionicist adventure that will be built into the Hearkenwold campaign.

I imagine that's how an NPC might say the name, trying to make it sound spooky for dramatic effect:

"Beware the Glooomwood!"

Re: Pescua [title work in progress!]

Outstanding! I love seeing fantasy maps, and the background lore that goes with it. Nice sepia tone for the colors, I think. The island and its history appear quite inviting... for trouble.

The section of the game world sounds huge. Should be excellent for exploration.
