It’s been some time since I was able to give you any details about our character creation app. Early on we went through some hoops to get a decent version started. Well, I’m happy to tell you that as of a few days ago Ed was delivered the very first promising prototype. Whether it’s rulebooks,…
Hi everyone! I’m really busy right now, just for a change. The primary things I’m working on are: The Empowered Primer, which is going really well!
