August 2024 Newsletter : August 2024 Update

2024-08-13

Crazy Cadre Member,

A lot has happened since May and it's time we give you an update!

First, we moved our CCG Community Server to Discord. We loved Guilded for what it offered and the potential it had to become an awesome platform. Sadly, Guilded made to the decision to require a Roblox account to use their platform. This was a deal-breaker for us and, after considering a variety of options, we decided the best available replacement for our community hangout was Discord. Join us at our crazy-cockatoo-games community server! We actively look for community feedback on our games and we want to hear from you, and there is a lot going on!

Second, we caught wind of a One Page RPG Jam challenge and decided to give it a shot. After much work, we present Dungeon Crossing Delver: The Crossing Guard! Using a light version of the FxRPG Roleplay System, this adventure has you exploring a dungeon in search of three gems to complete your Crossing Guard Buckler. Beware of hostile creatures, game changing events, and getting lost forever in the dungeon! This One Page RPG Jam challenge was a great exercise in game design and helped refine FxRPG as we attempted to fit it all on a single page. We hope you enjoy it!

Third, we have been working closely with the developer of a new Virtual Tabletop (VTT) called Tabletop Mirror (TTM). From its inception, Tabletop Mirror is designed to be a one-stop shop for TTRPG Homebrewing. We are very excited to see how Tabletop Mirror grows and what that means for the future of not only FxRPG, but all TTRPGs! The FxRPG ruleset is currently being added to Tabletop Mirror and will be available to all very soon. Watch our community server for our announcement about the first public release of the FxRPG Roleplay System on TTM.

Fourth, speaking of Tabletop Mirror... the team behind it is currently running a Backerkit campaign! We are proud to back this project, and, at the time of writing this newsletter, they are: trending at #7 of all campaigns on Backerkit and #4 in the Role-playing games category, 800% funded, and fast approaching their sixth stretch goal! Back the campaign to support the future of TTRPG Homebrewing and unlock various rewards such as lifetime memberships, exclusive dice sets, votes on future Tabletop Mirror features, and more!

And last but not least, we will be at Pacificon 2024 and would love to see you there! Pacificon is being held at the Santa Clara Marriott in Santa Clara, California and we will be running an FxRPG campaign on Saturday, August 31 from 1pm to 5pm PDT. If you do plan on coming to Pacificon 2024, be sure to let us know on our community server.

As always, thanks for being a member of the Crazy Cadre and keep playing those #crazyfungames!
