The digital copy will be updated for free, so if you have the pdf via itch or dtrpg the additional pages will just be a free update.

That's all for now, but please spread the word and respond below!
I'm off to finish up some commissions after being abroad but will be checking in periodically to answer, update, and read your comments!

But ultimately, I wanted to confer with ya'll (the folks playing and running VitD) on what YOU would like to see added to Vast in the Dark.
What would be helpful at the table? What are you curious about? What would be fun?

Lastly (and biggest), I would like to include 4 additional pages to the publication. As for what those 4 pages would include we have some ideas:
- Token sheet of monsters/NPCs.
- Expanded rules for factions and networks.
- Additional art for items and artifacts.

Second, we do not intend to host a crowdfunding campaign. Instead we will host a pre-order on our website and likely include some original art or one-of-a-kind goodies for those who order within that window.

Firstly, the majority of the publication will remain unchanged. The changes that will occur include: fixing some typos, adding an errata, and some additional or new art.

Lastly, I wanted to show off some paintings from my late grandfather.

A self-taught watercolor artist who did it for the love of the process.

They will be hung in places of honor.

In joyful news, the studio has been making some time to travel, work on hobbies, study, and rebuild our inspiration for the next series of projects.

This alone has helped us cook up a few new projects and ideas for our individual careers.

I'm excited to make some time to work on them and show you

In more local shenanigans, I've been donating time to @lancasterstandsup.bsky.social in the effort to decriminalize homelessness and assisting them and a few local activist chapters in stopping the construction of a data center next door.

If you're local, join in. Ill put you in contact.

The other BIG project has been our work on "into the Salt and Surf," the last book with @wetinkgames.bsky.social and capping off the "into series."

It's been a lot of work and is somewhat heavy to be finishing the triology. It deserves our best, and our time.

Firstly, both @alexcoggon.bsky.social and I are VERY MUCH still working on RPGS and freelance art.

For myself, I've been very lucky to stretch some old catoonist muscles alongside some (as I call it) *real* painting.

And those communities, friends, colleagues ARE deeply important to me; they're just not always within hand-shake or driving distance.

I am very fortunate to be able to make a career and life out of this.

So, I wanted to drop in and update on some of the work, play, ups, and downs as of late.

Worth noting: this is paraphrased from a few separate conversations. Not out of bitterness, but the bizarre juxtaposition.

While I will not apologize for being "offline," I'm aware that my professional and long-distance communities are deeply tied to internet communication.

-Religious Leader-
The head of a local congregation or faith establishment. Leaders who find the divine in institution and dogma.
-What do they fear that their faith does not provide?-

-Grace-Fallen-
A previously esteemed or wealthy head of house. With their means washed away, the emptiness allowed bitterness and despair to settle in.
-Will they ever move on from their loss?-

-Artisan-
A craftsman or artist of great skill or renown. Dedication to a craft has carved a life for them in the community.
-Who is capable of such dedication?-

I second this @jasoncordova.bsky.social
