Final Early Rules Fix Notes due today! Also... KAAAIJUUUU!
4 months ago – Wed, Aug 07, 2024 at 09:36:42 AM

Hey all!

Hope you're having an awesome hump day so far. I'm putting out the final call for any fixes you feel the latest version of the rules needs so I can release the semi-final playtest/print-and-play version of Steel Psalm tomorrow. So, if you haven't already hopped over to the Discord, do so now. 

Once that's released, I'll start in on MekBorg, which is mostly already formatted.

Also, I'll be working on Scenarios and Monsters for Steel Psalm and MekBorg. Since we're dealing with MEKs here, I feel it's only appropriate to have KAIJU as the monster that will fight against the MEKs when they're not fighting other MEKs. 

Kitbash Contest #2: MONSTERS

Just as before, we will do a kitbash contest for monsters. These critters will be due by the end of the month, August 31st, 2024. Make whatever monsters you like! All of the final images will make it into our books, and I'll start out the creatures, too. The more you make, the more I add!

Here's the Discord: https://discord.gg/gYrEN95SeE

And good luck!

Latest Update Released... Monsters and Scenarios Coming Soon!

Hey everyone!

The most recent version has been released over on Backerkit. To get either version, make sure you have a Backerkit account and that you're registered. You'll be able to then download it from your download files.

A huge thanks to all the folks over in the DMDave Discord who helped tighten up the playtest rules for Forbidden Psalm. 

Once this most recent version is tightened up, I'll add in a few more details, notably the Scenarios and the NPC/Monsters section and move on to MEKBORG.

If you have any questions or nitpicks, don't hesitate to drop by our Discord.

Backerkit troubles? No worries, we can help.

Hey all,

I saw that some of you had trouble getting the early version of Steel Psalm up and running. You will need to access it through Backerkit. You should have received an email with instructions how to set it up (do a search for Backerkit in your email).

If that doesn't work, we can do a manual search for you and get it resent. Just message [email protected] and Bree will get you on the right path. 

We've already got a pretty good discussion going for the project on Discord, too, so be sure to check it out.

And to all of you who've offered up awesome feedback so far, thanks! I'm going to give you all credit on the final project.

Hey all,

Sorry for the mess. The first one I sent out cut out 14/15 pages. It should be fixed now with the latest distribution. 

My bad!

Steel Psalm Blitzkrieg Edition is ready for distribution!

Hey all!

Hope you're having a rad little Saturday. Good news: the "print-and-critique" version of Steel Psalm is wrapped up (although it's missing a couple of elements such as monsters, scenarios, and the campaign map mode I intend to make).

To get the document, you'll just need to head over to Backerkit (you should get an email either way, so long as you've filled out your survey).

Keep in mind that this is the "quick and dirty" version I discussed a couple of posts back. The goal is to let you all review it, make some suggestions (and help me generate monsters/scenarios/etc. you want to see), and then create a final version.

Once you have the download, make sure you head over to the MekBorg channel on my Discord to let me know your thoughts. Please be nice. While I'm a big boy who's been doing this for a living for 5 years or so, downright rude comments usually get ignored/blocked, etc. Having said that, 9/10 I take comments to heart and do my best to put out the best product I can.

Thanks all and enjoy!

Dave

PS MekBorg will come next. It's important to me that I finished up Steel Psalm first since it's way more combat-heavy. I want to make sure that the combat system in both gel, so you don't have to learn two different games.
