I'm going to be sending out the audio tracks today. When I'm done I'll be sending out another update so that people know the process is complete. I am letting my newsletter customers know about the Rothaen audio pack. These are the same tracks you will get today. 

Have a great day and by tonight you'll have new audio, 

Wes

 

This week!

Hi all,

I have one more track to finish music on this week and then all the tracks will be sent out. I have locked down Backerkit for those of you who have filled out the surveys and the goal is to have all the tracks sent out  by the end of Friday. If you see the tracks up on DrivethruRPG first, understand that I have to post them their before I can send them to you. Then it's more work on the writing and mapping portion of Rothaen. 

Have a great week everyone!

Rothaen Cultist Creation Questionnaire
over 7 years ago – Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 01:54:51 PM

Hello and thank you for being a part of the Realms of Rothaen. Below you will find several questions to help give me an idea of what your cult will be. A couple of sentences for each will be fine. Copy the questions and answers into an email and send it back to me at [email protected] I will write up your entry and send you a rough draft to make sure you are happy with the direction. If you have any changes, I will make them and then your cult will be ready for the book. We can also do a skype session if you like to discuss your cult in more detail.   

What is the name of the cult?

Does the cult worship a god, demon or alien entity? (It can be as simple as “the god of murder”. From that, I can fill in the rest.”)

If no, what brings them together?

What is the cults ideology? 

What is the cults overall goal?

What methods are employed to reach this goal?

Are there any secondary goals? Who is their leader?

Does the leader claim to be the entity or the offspring of the entity that the cult follows?

How big is the cult? 

Is it confined to a city or kingdom, or is it worldwide? 

Are they a public or secret cult? 

Do they wear symbols or special clothing for meetings?

If yes, what kind of symbols or clothing? 

Are they seen as a threat by a government or legally sectioned? 

Do they have any weaknesses magically or otherwise? 

If you would like to add any other thoughts about the cult that you would like me to know, please do so here. 

Again, thank you for joining the Kickstarter, I look forward to working with you.

Audio Delivery Update
over 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 09, 2016 at 02:40:32 PM

Hey everyone!

So I'm changing my plans just a little bit. I have 11 Rothaen tracks to finish and I know I can get them done next week. So I'm going to focus on them and then send out all the audio starting the week of the 19th. This just makes more sense than taking time out to send out some audio now and pushing the final 11 tracks to the end of the month. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. 

Thanks

Wes

Fast update
over 7 years ago – Sun, Dec 04, 2016 at 02:11:20 PM

Hey everyone,

Recently I moved to a new apartment two miles from my old apartment. I don't think this will cause any major delays but I wanted let you know is the name of transparency what's up. My studio is already back up and Monday I'll start working on the final tracks for Rothaen. 

The Next Kickstarter

What... What!?! You haven't finished this Kickstarter! Take a deep breath, it's all going to be OK, let me explain. I will be doing an audio Kcikstarter for Monty Cook Games in February or March. This will be like my last few KS where I do 40 tracks (Including stretch goals) that cover the world of Numenera. Now, you might be thinking that this will slow down Rothaen, but it won't. I write in the afternoon and work on audio in the morning everyday already. The only difference is that the tracks that I'll be working on will be Kickstarter tracks instead of non-KS tracks. 40 tracks tacks about two months to get through. Also, my wife will be working on them as well. I'm well versed in audio and if I thought it would slow down this project, I wouldn't do it. If you have any concerns, please let me know at info@platemailgames. This is a good opportunity for me to expand the MCG library and grow PMG. 

What's next?

We have most of the surveys done, so in the next week I'll run them and start sending out the past audio tracks. The Rothaen audio has 15 more tracks to go, so I should be done with all of them on the 16th. I'll then send them out the following Monday. Maps are coming along as well and should be done by late January. I'll be sending out surveys to our Cultist level soon. Art is being worked on and I'll preview that after the New Year. The core book is coming along, and I'm looking forward to sending parts of it out so you can start using it. 

Thanks Everyone!
