Announcement and a reminder
9 months ago
First off, I'm way overdue on this, but right now on Backerkit there's a crowdfunding campaign for Alchemicals: Forged by the Machine God, an Exalted 3rd Edition splatbook featuring the Alchemical Exalted, who are sweet magical robot-people who (for the most part) live inside a giant magical robot-god. I mention this because I worked on it -- and in fact, as I write this, the most recent manuscript preview contains some of the material I wrote for the book! The previews are available for backers only, though I'm pretty sure you can back the campaign, download the preview, and then cancel it, if you really want to. I can't stop ya.
(Also, as a side-note, while this is a 3e core system book, the setting material is also useful for the Exalted Essence rules, especially with the updates to the Adamant Caste.)
If you'd like to know more, episode 338 of the Onyx Pathcast has a basic explainer of Alchemicals. And past episodes include interviews with the developers and a couple of the writers.
There's also a slightly-outdated pair of episodes from the Systematic Understanding of Everything podcast, talking about the Alchemicals themselves and the magical machine-world in which they live. These two refer primarily to the 2e books, but there's a lot of broad strokes stuff that still holds up as those books naturally fed into the new one, and all of the podcast's hosts wound up working on it.
Or, if you'd rather skip the podcasts, I can answer questions if people have any.
In semi-related news, here's a reminder that another book I recently worked on, the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide is available over on DriveThruRPG in PDF and print on demand. It's a supplement for the Trinity Continuum 'core' line, though the material in there is useful in any of the various timelines of the Continuum.
Anyhow, I hope everyone's holiday season is off to a solid start. Take care, and hopefully I'll be able to check in again soon!
