I'm glad I'm doing a KS for this, there's clearly demand for more Beacon copies, but not a HUGE demand. The type of thing that's hard to estimate, so getting the numbers like this is very helpful.

Since this is just for print copies, this should be a fast turnaround for fulfillment. Basically, once I get the funds, I press the 'order' button on the printer and they'll start work. No game design period needed!

In Photon System Overdrive #PSO, you equip the titular photon systems whenever you go on a mission, which determines your starting abilities and playstyle.
The Masamune system focuses on wide, sweeping attacks with its sword, and excess in melee combat.

Progress is happening on Photon System Overdrive (PSO), my Roguelike TTRPG inspired by Phantasy Star Online! Act 1 + 2 are done, artists are working on art for the Kickstarter, and I'm plugging away at the online character sheet!
My goal is to have a demo/Episode 0 available for the Kickstarter.

And lets not forget the paper character sheet for Beacon, created by Kee! They made a really good online character sheet for ICON, which helped me improve Beacon's own online character sheet. When it came time to designing an official paper one, Kee was the right choice!
