this was easier than I expected it to be tbh it even came with a lore justification; when you explore a Nightmare, you might get a hazy reflection of another Nightmare-delver, called a dreamling optional ruleset that will be in a separate document attached to the beta release, only 2 pages

Unless I find some other horrible error or missing section, beta release soon! At the moment we're up to 118 pages and all systems and subsystems are complete. Content additions and changes, and appearance, are the big things left for beta to do. (ps - graphic design is definitely not my passion)

I realised that the best way for me to use these isn't to write them by hand but to auto-generate them from the markdown of my adventures. So I spent a few hours getting Python to do that for me, and I blogged about it for Patrons. www.patreon.com/posts/129863...

It's not here yet, but it's getting close, so I thought I'd indulge in some hype.

For the rest of the month, I'm going to ask you all to consider supporting my art! I make stories, games, and other things. A $3 subscription gets you credited in everything I do, and goes sooo far. Tips welcome too! www.patreon.com/c/shrikepubl... ko-fi.com/shrikepublis...

the only way for any character in Against the Fall of Night to actually use these is to be 'wizard who took a little bit of fighter training'. the actual fighter-mage class, the witchblade, will never meet the prerequisites. but writing them let me include 'the target explodes' in rules text.
