Hello folks, and happy Fall! Autumn is genuinely my favourite time of year, and it's doubly great this year because Sept is hand-in time for the Wilds of Willowmere writers and the submissions coming in are truly delightful. 

Since we're just working away there isn't a ton of *new* update to do, but we wanted to check in and let you know how things are progressing :)

2 of our 4 WoW chapters have been submitted, and they're wonderful <3 Whimsy and danger, scenes familiar and brand new, honestly I couldn't be any more excited about what our writers have crafted. From original pitches (what about a dark-souls hedgehog? James Dean hares? A full feast WITH included recipes?) to final submissions, these stories are engaging, fantastical, and tons of fun. Next step after we have the final 2 chapters in-hand is to send them to art. After art comes layout, and then we move to print!  

We've tested Quill in Willowmere. We've tested Quill in Wayfinder. Now? Now we're testing it in ---REDACTED---, ---REDACTED---, and ---REDACTED--- to make sure that it works well across as many worlds and with as many custom rulesets and modules as possible! Stay tuned.....

Wilds of Willowmere is 50% submitted! The expansion modules are being written and are 25% submitted! The prime book is waiting for those to be finished so that it can incorporate everything possible to make the world  and the individual regions as robust as possible! Especially with such a small team this is going to be an endurance race rather than a sprint, but wow this still feels like it's going by so quickly for us. We'll be bringing a couple more writers on-board in the next months as this project keeps expanding and expanding (more content, yay!) and we can already tell you our writers are over their wordcount, so expect lots of things to explore and do in Willowmere :D

Once art starts coming back for WoW we'll be posting our favourites! Custom character sheets are also coming  up pretty soon, so stay tuned!

In honour of Autumn, we want to take you to the Briarwarren with this update. Cozy autumnal vibes, orange and gold leaves drifting lazily from the treetops to crunch deliciously underfoot. Mulled wine, flaky vegetable pastries and spiced stew in comfy underground burrows  We have a Backer Exclusive preview of the Briarwarren track in this update! Please check it out below :D

As always folks, your support is legendary! We're going to keep writing, art-ing and working hard to create the best Willowmere possible for you to play in.

With love and gratitude,

Michael and Morgan (and a growing team!)
