Sorcerer's Grimoire

Happily I've made major progress on the new PDF spellbook creation utility. I've continued to refine my iPad workspace (which is easier on me physically) to the point that I've done all the Grimoire programming on it. I'm most pleased. :)

The individual spell page creation code is complete: involving lots of fiddling to dynamically adjust text sizes/spacing to allow each spell to be printed on a single sheet. I've also completed the Mercurial Magic code so that you can have it rolled automatically for each spell.

I'm now building the forms so you can choose whether to create a random spell book based on level, or select individual spells/mercurial magic for an existing caster. After that I'll just need to complete the random generation code, and we'll be good to go! If I can continue the pace I'm on, we'll hopefully be up and running in a week or two.

State of the Sorcerer 2015

Health issues continue to bedevil the Sorcerer, and unfortunately things have gotten progressively worse over the last year. I'm excited about some new approaches we'll be taking medically, but I'll be going through a few months of testing before really kicking thinks off with my specialist.

I have many things that are slooooooowly simmering in the fire, so expect a burst of activity when I get back on my feet. Two (perhaps three) new adventures, an update to the Crawler's Companion, and a beta release of the Sorcerer's Grimoire are all waiting in the wings. I'm really looking forward to sharing these fun new creations with the wonderful Dungeon Crawl Classics community!

Last Days of 30% Sale

The Too Lazy To Update Prices Sale will run though the weekend. Act now: once I go to the trouble of restoring the regular prices everywhere, it will likely be a good while before we run another sale! :)

New Occupations for 0-Level Party Generator

Added some fun new occupation sources to the 0-Level party generator.

For those about to share the wonders of +Michael Curtis' amazing Chained Coffin milieu, +Pete Schwab compiled the Shudder Mountain occupation list with and without non-humans.

+Noah Stevens also created occupation and unique trade goods lists for his light-hearted/horror/romp Space Dungeon campaign for tomb-raiders, prospectors, and last-ditch wannabes on the burial world of Nebulmor in the far-reaches of the Galactic Funnel.

Have fun, and let me know if you notice any strangeness using the new occupation sources. :) 

Sale Extended

I don't feel like changing all the prices, so I'm extending the 30% off sale until January 1st.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season!

I love the Christmas Season!

I've been doing most of my Christmas shopping online, doggedly finding all the best deals. As a result, the boxes are piling up in my bedroom and my room reeks of wet cardboard. :)

I wish I had fun new gaming things to announce, but progress is still slow. One thing I can do is put stuff on sale: so from now through the day after Christmas, all Purple Sorcerer adventures are 30% off in both the Purple Sorcerer Store and at RPGNnow!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

It's quiet... too quiet

Excepting a 5 day span of feeling gloriously sort-of OK, I'm still mired in a 3 month stretch of depressingly un-glorious ill-health. So no real progress to speak of of late.

I will soon be posting some updates to the 0-Level party generator, hopefully by the weekend. And I'm dying to start stitching all the various bits of Against the Vortex Temple together. The whole point of this exercise is to share and interact, and a part of me is just dying while everything lies fallow.

On the hopeful front, we'll soon be trying some new approaches in my health-care battles, and I'm praying most earnestly we'll see a change in direction so I can get back into creative fighting trim. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying the start of this fall/winter festive season.
