Any Word on Gaming Ballistics Bestiary?

Has there been any word on when Gaming Ballistics will release their bestiary? I'm really looking forward to this book, and hope it is moving forward.

I'll let the gentleman speak for himself (I know he watches these forums), but I can say that I'm certain it hasn't been forgotten, and plans are in the works to deliver this sooner rather than later.

Sorry I let this simmer for a bit.

I am cleaning up outstanding deliverables from the TFT project "More Perilous Journeys" (MPJ for short). Thanks to a variety of things, that project stretched longer than I'd like.

I have made some progress on the Bestiary, and once MPJ is finished, will be spending a lot of time getting that into shape.

It is, however, a fairly massive endeavor, so it will take time to get where I need it to be. I am hoping to start a Patreon this year as well, which should give patrons the ability to see some of the work as it progresses, give feedback, maybe even take some of the creatures out for test-fights.

But from a Powered by GURPS perspective, Bestiary is next on my list, with Mission X following closely behind. I also hope to see smaller releases through 2021 to help keep the lights on.

Cool, looking forward to it.

Hey man get that patreon rolling. I'd totally support! Behind the scenes progress updates, and play testing would be sweet! I love your DFRPG stuff!

So after the Nordlonds bestiary and Mission X come out, can we expect a Mission X space bestiary? :o

I know the Nordlond Magic Items book is coming along with Christopher ("Nibelung") Rice.

Is the Nordlond NPCs book by Kevin Smyth also still in preparation?

Both books took a back-burner for various reasons; the last six months was challenging for many reasons.

I don't doubt about revisiting them both in one form or another; some of my work on Character Collections for TFT is interesting because it will be providing hundreds of ready descriptions that only need to have matching mechanics appended to them to be ready-to-use Dungeon Fantasy RPG books as well.

I have a strong desire to release smaller books in several systems. How that really looks in 2021 will take a few more weeks, as I suspect that's what's required to put More Perilous Journeys behind me sufficiently that I can stop looking at my toes.

Wait? Christopher is a Nibelung? He's been serving Alberich this whole time?

His personal code-word for the Nordlond Magic Items book is "Nibelung."

After all, he's certainly no dwarf....
