Solemn Vale Project Update - 2022 wk48
almost 2 years ago
โ Mon, Dec 05, 2022 at 02:06:15 AM
Hi Folks,
Good progress continues to be made with the Solemn Vale core book with around 25 pages left to finish. End of the year is still looking good. I'll have a definitive idea within the next two weeks and I'll keep everyone posted, as per usual, on the progress.
If you want a proper sampler of the book, check out the free Wyrd Abacus rules linked below. The 80 page PDF incudes the full rules, a sample from "The Boundaries" chapter and the story module "Footprints".
The Stage Cards link was sent out a couple of weeks ago so be sure to check your KS Inbox for those. Once the book goes out proper I'll include the PDF so it'll be in your DriveThru or Itch, just an FYI if you prefer to wait and get the stage cards via that route.

Hi folks,
Things are moving well with about 50 pages from the 352 page core book left to complete. At the current rate I'm getting 1 or 2 pages done per day. With that said, and without generating too much stress, I'm hoping to get the PDF out to backers by the end of Dec-2022.
I've got the standalone Wyrd Abacus rules now uploaded onto DriveThruRPG. The 80 page PDF includes the full rules, a sample from "The Boundaries" chapter and the story module "Footprints". The Itch PDF has been updated also.
Any reviews and or feedback welcomed.
Next week I'll send out the file via DriveThruRPG along with the Print & Play versions of the Stage Cards.ย
Solemn Vale Free Rules - Now Available

Hi Folks,
I just finished up the free version of The Wyrd Abacus and it's now available over on the Dirty Vortex Itch. It also includes a free story module, Footprints.
These are the same pages as presented in the Solemn Vale book so it'll give you a good idea of what to expect.
I've also updated Summer of Strange ashcan with more art and the project editors have completed their passes. SoS uses the same system as Solemn Vale and takes the horror from small town England in the 1970s to small town America in the mid-1980s. The final version is the book will offer a stack more content in the way of story modules, hooks and monsters.

Hi folks,
Just a quick one to say that the LARP rules, Solemn Vale Live, are fully laid out and available over on the Dirty Vortex itch. This was a project Stretch Goal that was unlocked right at the end by $6. WoWzA!
The rules are free and if LARP is your thing, feel free to check them out.
