Its Tuesday

Behold, Tuesday has arrived. To most that just means it’s the third day of the week (or second depending on your upbringings), but to a small few they will know this Tuesday must herald in the coming of the third revision of the Player’s Handbook. Behold, version 3.0 of the Xadune ruleset (Not seeing it? Try refreshing your browser and trashing your cookies). Not a whole lot have changed; mostly just improvements, advancements, clarifications, and the sort that have been made numerous times. We will be giving current players three events to transition to the new ruleset, in which (in September) the new rules will be in full effect.

We are only human. There will be some type-o still after our editors have gone through the rulebook. Please, if you see something, point it out to us in a collection of notes you might see as you read through the new PHB. DO NOT SEND US MULTIPLE MESSAGES FOR EACH AND EVERY MISTAKE YOU FEEL YOU HAVE FOUND. The last thing we should mention is there is still some little formatting things we will be changing, and thus some page numbers will be moving around as this happens. The biggest thing that will affect the formatting is the addition of pictures as well as some “coming soon” area.

Which brings us to our last point. We love pictures. We would like more in the Handbook. So, this is a general call out to anyone that wants to submit pictures to us that we might put in the new PHB. We will not use everything we get, but we like options. You do not get a say on where it will go in the handbook either, but if you would like to know some specifics we would like, give us a shout out. The maps and what not are not for player interpretation. All pictures should have a very general steampunk and Xadune game world feel to it. Please steer away from personalized characters. Those pictures that we do use will give credit to the artists in a special section of the PHB.

Though the PHB has always had a digital copy registered with the Library of Congress, once we complete the formatting of this version, we will finish our ISBN application and have an official print copy as well to add to the LoC. Copies will be available to players as well of course. The planned timeline for this is to be done with submissions when we go hard set over to the new ruleset (so September) then a month or two to finish up anything we need to do to the book. So, if all goes well, super fun Christmas presents!

Thank you all for you help and dedication to Xadune. All questions should be submitted via the “Submit a Question” form. We are excited to have made it this far. This year Xadune becomes a rowdy teenager!

Now that we have that out and in the open, lets talk about this weekend, the event. It’s time for nearly everyone to reup their safety course knowledge. We will have a list on site for those of you that need to retake it and I will be giving these courses to groups of five as they collect. I would love to get it all out of the way before opening ceremonies, so get to site on time!

It will be a warm event and we have a lot of action planned, so be prepared. Keep hydrated! Don’t do dumb things (OOP) but do dumb things (IP only please). We are all super excited to see you all in a couple days and hope you have been having a great week so far!
