State of the Realm: Q3 2022 & FREE STUFF for waiting!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Oct 01, 2022 at 03:10:17 PM

Greetings all!  Please find our IGS Q3 State of the Realm update on our website here.

In short, we continue to produce a ton of awesome stuff, and will continue to do so.  And it's all thanks to you.  If you're reading this, you help make it happen, and I can't thank you enough.

Speaking of thanks...

...Free Stuff!

Of particular note is our new "KS Freebie" policy.  This will go into effect next week: sit tight and wait for the free stuff to roll in!  And it'll keep rolling in, until I catch up with everything I owe you.  :)

TL;DR: Still waiting?  Get free stuff!

It’s no secret that I’m terrible at estimating things.  Many projects have taken LOTS longer to complete and deliver than anticipated.  That’s the bad news.

The good news—as you know if you’ve read what has been produced—is that along the way, these projects grow.  Much more is delivered than is promised, each and every time so far.

Sometimes, things don’t fit in a single book.  Other times, it’s a very slight derailment to finish up something extra that fits in well with what the main focus is.

Regardless of its nature, these “extras” form some of the most successful stuff we publish, with the best feedback.

And now: you get it free.  If you’ve been waiting.

How Does This Work?

If you are still owed one or more books that haven’t been published, and/or if you are still waiting for hardcopy fulfillment of one or more books that has been published, but not hardcopy-fulfilled, you qualify.

How Do I Get the Free Stuff?

You don’t have to lift a finger: I’ll send it to you for free, automatically, via DriveThruRPG.

What Stuff is Free?

It’s the “extras” that extend, but were not formally part of, a Kickstarter.  Thus far, this includes the following:

1. FlexTale Environmental Encounters
   
2. Infinite Adventures (volumes 1, 2, and Darkhalls)
   
3. Western Realm Atlas
   
4. Watchspire
   

Onward!

I'm proud to share the Q2 2022 Infinium Game Studio State of the Realm Update.

It's been a heck of a year so far, filled with achievements, milestones, successes, and a great deal of personal challenge.  But I'm proud to report that we've published a metric ton of content, are in the process of fulfilling backlogs of hardcopies to patient Kickstarter backers, and are poised to deliver another few tons of content this year.

Once again, thank you for your support, kind feedback, and patience as I continue to deliver as much as I can, as quickly as I can, with as high a quality as I can.  I could not do this without you.

Onward!

FlexTale Solo Adventuring Toolkit Published
over 4 years ago – Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 08:55:08 PM

Production Update

The FTEG SAThas now at long last been published.  

As a special thank-you to all of you who have been patiently waiting for the FTEG v2, I have decided to give you each a free copy of this book.  Check your inboxes for a notification from DriveThruRPG to get your complimentary PDFs.

Why a Freebie?

A couple of reasons.

• First, as a courtesy, in recognition of the wait you've endured. 
• Secondly, and much more to the point, out of recognition that the FTEG SAT is a large step closer to the vision of FTEG v2 itself.  You've all received version 1 of the FTEG core book, and from all reports are enjoying it... but the FTEG SAT is the first product that truly beings to realize the full vision of what I have in mind for version 2.  

FTEG SAT & FTEGv2

The Solo Adventuring Toolkit contains a lot of content that will be copy/pasted and/or adapted into the Quests and other sections of the FTEGv2.  You can read through the SAT, and get familiar with the approach I have in mind.

So, take what's in FTEG SAT, and expand it by roughly an order of magnitude.  That's what is in store for us for FTEG version 2.

Here's a quick shorthand: the FTEG SAT uses d20s for nearly all of its tables.  The FTEGv2 and its associated books will use a d100, at minimum.

Those Already Entitled to FTEG SAT

Some of you added the FTEG SAT on explicitly during the BackerKit survey at additional cost.  Rest assured you'll get your additional value: I plan a small number of additional solo products, and you'll be getting those for free.

• Warscale: There are notes briefly, but this will be its own product for sure, along with the Warscale Unit Bestiary to which you're all entitled.
• RTS / Empire: A brief note in the book, a dedicated softcover to follow.
• Reverse Role: I have so much to say and provide on this topic that it absolutely requires its own softcover or hardcover.
• Thiefesque: My solo riff on a Roguelike dynamically-generated dungeon crawl, I even have the cover art commission for this completed.
• Crucible: My TTRPG rules homage to the Gauntlet video games, I have not one, but two covers completed for this already.

Onward!
