7:57 PM +Chris_BVG: My name is Christoffer Sevaldsen, and I am the guy behind BLACK VOID.
7:57 PM +Chris_BVG: Black Void was originally kickstarted in 2018 and released globally in 2019.
7:57 PM +Chris_BVG: The Black Void RPG revolves around the fall and subsequent resurgence of Humanity after cataclysmic events have torn them from Earth.
7:58 PM +Chris_BVG: Pursuing power, prestige, and enlightenment – humanity is struggling to find a new place and purpose in a vast and unfamiliar cosmos.
7:58 PM +Chris_BVG: Players can focus on the personal struggles and stories of their characters or expand their scope putting emphasis on the fate of humanity as a species and the part they play in this.
7:59 PM +Chris_BVG: We are currently running a Kickstarter for the first major supplement called “UNDER NEBULOUS SKIES”
7:59 PM +Chris_BVG: (Link: https://bit.ly/BVG_KS2020)https://bit.ly/BVG_KS2020
7:59 PM +Chris_BVG: Packed with new setting material, new character options including playable halfblood selections, and the first part of the grand campaign trilogy; this book is a must-have for Black Void fans.
8:00 PM +Chris_BVG: The book’s 250+ pages will have abundant beautiful art, detailing new creatures, sentient species, maps, a deep-dive into the Kimah and Dhaarese districts, intriguing NPC’s and much, much more.
8:02 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Divided into three main sections, this book has something for everyone! An exciting player’s options section, a comprehensive travelogue and the first part of the Grand Campaign Trilogy, that will be continued in future volumes.
8:03 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I am really excited about this book and it is currently 72% funded with 2.5 weeks left
8:03 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: 🙂
8:03 PM ~Dan: (Just a reminder to give us a (done) when you’re ready for questions. 🙂 )
8:04 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: (done)
8:04 PM ~Dan: Thanks, Chris_BlackVoid! The floor is open to questions!
8:04 PM ~Dan: What can you tell us about the new player options?
8:05 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: As you may know, Black Void character creation is a point-buy system.
8:05 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The supplement adds new options to pretty much all areas, including Talents, Attributes, backgrounds, skills
8:06 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Also we are introducing new playable “species” in the form of Halfbloods that are a specific combination of species, enabling players to get a taste of what it is like to belong to the other species in the setting
8:07 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Additionally there will be new waepons
8:07 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: and a section detailing how to upgrade and crew void vessels, as well as a selection of well-lnown designs
8:08 PM ~Dan: Interesting… So instead of Halfbloods of uncertain heritage, you have half-human/half-other species?
8:08 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: exactly
8:08 PM ~Dan: How many species are featured?
8:08 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: So players that want to play Half-Talath for instance, now can
8:08 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The final number is not done but 7-10
8:09 PM * ~Dan nods
8:09 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Some Esoteric species are included in the list
8:09 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: such as Djinn
8:09 PM ~Dan: (Howdy again, AlexandriaRPG!)
8:09 PM +AlexandriaRPG: Hello
8:09 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Hi AlexandriaRPG
8:10 PM ~Dan: (Chris, AlexandriaRPG has an online RPG library that does chats with game authors. 🙂 )
8:10 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I am having a lot of fun converting the species into playable versions that still retain their link with humanity
8:11 PM +AlexandriaRPG: We are a physical Library that travels to events. But shows are down so we are doing weekly chats with developers
8:11 PM ~Dan: (Ah, sorry for not getting that right, AlexandriaRPG!)
8:11 PM +AlexandriaRPG: No worries
8:11 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: We should arrange a chat then AlexandriaRPG
8:11 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: 🙂
8:11 PM +AlexandriaRPG: We would LoVe that.
8:12 PM ~Dan: AlexandriaRPG: I’ve reviewed Chris_BlackVoid’s game and can vouch for his talents. 🙂
8:12 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Thanks Dan
8:12 PM ~Dan: Oh, speaking of which, if anyone’s interested, here’s my review of Black Void: (Link: https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2020/06/14/review-black-void/)https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2020/06/14/review-black-void/
8:12 PM +AlexandriaRPG: I am the Chief Librarian and the best way to get ahold of me is by email. David@alexandriarpg.com
8:13 PM +AlexandriaRPG: I was sad I missed the KS that one
8:13 PM ~Dan: Chris_BlackVoid: Does this book include any new sources of power?
8:14 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Not new as such, but there will be a section focussing on powers
8:14 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: For instance the Void sphere will get a treatment
8:14 PM ~Dan: In focusing in what sense?
8:15 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Elucidating the various uses and adding new effect tables and descriptions
8:15 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: AlexandriaRPG you can still back the new one, and there’s a 15% discount on all Black Void for the duration of the Kickstarter
8:16 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: We are also working on compiling phenomena and making them accessible so people have an “online spellbook” of sorts
8:17 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: For those who’d like inspiration
8:17 PM ~Dan: That sounds handy.
8:17 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: yeah, exactly. Not everyone wants to make up phenomenons on the fly, but prefer a list to get inspired from
8:17 PM ~Dan: As a recap, would you mind listing the various powers?
8:18 PM ~Dan: (Welcome to Randomworlds, kiwi_19!)
8:18 PM ~Dan: (kiwi_19: You can set your name with the /nick command; e.g., /nick Dan 🙂 )
8:18 PM ~Dan: (Or not.)
8:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Blood Rituals
8:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Mysticism
8:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Void Powers
8:19 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Blood rituals include Blood letting, endowing recipients with temporary boons
8:19 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And Sacrificial divination, enabling characters to receive premonitions ofd sorts
8:20 PM ~Dan: And Void Powers spring from enlightenment, IIRC? (I may not have my terminology right there…)
8:21 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: While mysticism is akin to psionics/psy powers. It’s divided into five spheres: Life, matter, forces, Void and Mind
8:21 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Void powers spring either from Enlightenment or other Esoteric sources
8:21 PM * ~Dan nods
8:23 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Blood rituals also contain grafting and inking, that will also get a bit of treatment
8:23 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Adding more detail and specific uses for both Arbiters (GM’s) and players to use
8:24 PM ~Dan: Are there any new Talents and Attributes that stand out in particular?
8:24 PM ~Dan: (Welcome to Randomworlds, DeShadow!)
8:24 PM +DeShadow: Thank you kind sir!
8:24 PM ~Dan: (DeShadow: Here for the Q&A? 🙂 )
8:24 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: We’ve already introduced Symbiotic bond, an Attribute that bonds two individuals
8:25 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: making them able to combine efforts and understand each other better
8:25 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Which is rather cool.
8:26 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Of new Talents I really like the “Cognissance” and “Determined” Talents
8:26 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: There are also some new Flaws that are quite interesting
8:27 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Such as “cripple” and “uncompelling”
8:28 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The latter basically making the character someone who continually say the wrongs things when trying to convinve someone about something 😀
8:28 PM ~Dan: Heh. 🙂
8:28 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I had a lot of fun writing that one
8:29 PM ~Dan: “Cripple” sounds like injury to insult. You may be the lowest scum in the cosmos, but at least you’re handicapped.
8:29 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: He he he
8:29 PM +DeShadow: yes, yes I am
8:29 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: exactly Dan
8:30 PM ~Dan: (DeShadow: Excellent. The nick was kind of a giveaway. 😉 Please make yourself at home, and ask away with any questions!)
8:30 PM ~Dan: What does Cognissance do?
8:30 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I think the rulebook was fairly comprehensive, but I like adding more flavour to what players can do
8:31 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Cognissance enables the character torecognise and grasp subtle and even subliminal messages and pointers from behaviour, speech nuances or other social exchanges.
8:31 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: . The character gets a +1 bonus to recognising deception, misrepresentation, as well as denoting meaning from observed behaviour.
8:32 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Which I really think is cool especially in characters that are like spies and such
8:32 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Or diplomats and such
8:32 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Also, secretly conveyed information or nonverbal communication is fairly lucid for the character and a +1 bonus apply to comprehend such.
8:33 PM +DeShadow: That sounds amazing and something my character would like
8:34 PM ~Dan: What is your character, DeShadow?
8:34 PM +DeShadow: I’m still fooling around but I’m trying to make a pure pacifist that doesn’t do combat
8:34 PM ~Dan: Always a challenge, that.
8:35 PM +DeShadow: just talks their way out or around
8:35 PM * ~Dan nods
8:35 PM ~Dan: (wb, AlexandriaRPG!)
8:35 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: A challenge that often leads to really interesting role-playing
8:35 PM ~Dan: No doubt!
8:36 PM +DeShadow: yes, yes it is
8:36 PM +DeShadow: but he CC in Black Void makes it possible
8:36 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And as all Black Void adventures are written to accomodate different means of resolving challenges something that is definitely feasible
8:36 PM +DeShadow: so i’m really excited
8:37 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Most, if not all, encounters in the official adventures can be resolved in at least two or three different ways.
8:37 PM ~Dan: That’s important.
8:37 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I think so
8:37 PM ~Dan: Speaking of which, I think it’s great that you’re cranking out adventures for the game.
8:38 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I prefer adventures that take player incentives into consideration and allows for a variety of approaches
8:38 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yes, I am very happy with what we’ve put out so far
8:38 PM ~Dan: I know they were unfashionable at one time, but I’ve always been a fan of pregen adventures — especially for an exotic game like Black Void.
8:38 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And definitely more goodness to come
8:39 PM +DeShadow: speaking of pregen, would be getting pregen characters? or am i missing them out somewhere?
8:39 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I think you will always have people that prefer to do their own and people that prefer what is published
8:39 PM * ~Dan nods
8:39 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: In the supplement DeShadow ?
8:39 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: No pregens there.
8:39 PM +DeShadow: or as a pdf
8:40 PM +DeShadow: no worries 🙂
8:40 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: There are pregens in Flight to Salvation Square (free pdf) and on (Link: http://www.blackvoidgames.com)www.blackvoidgames.com
8:40 PM ~Dan: Actually, that’s not a bad idea.
8:40 PM ~Dan: Ah, cool. You’ve got that covered, then.
8:40 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And I have a plan to make a wider pre-gen gallery available
8:41 PM ~Dan: Nice.
8:41 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It’s mostly a matter of having time to do it.
8:41 PM * ~Dan nods
8:41 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: But I think I will ask in the community for people to submit characters
8:41 PM +DeShadow: thank you!
8:41 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Same with the “spellbook”
8:43 PM ~Dan: So kind of a general question… As I mentioned in my review, one of the few drawbacks (sort of) that I see in this game is its highly exotic nature. (Which, granted, is as much a feature as it is a “bug”.) Do you see anything about this supplement making the game more accessible? More… user-friendly, I guess?
8:43 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Ha ha ha
8:43 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Hmmm… that’s a good question
8:43 PM ~Dan: You get what I’m saying, right? The setting is aMAzing. It’s just kind of overwhelming to me.
8:44 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I think including the campaign makes it more accessible, because players and Arbiters can just dive in
8:44 PM ~Dan: Ah, good point.
8:44 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: But the “exoticism” remains
8:44 PM ~Dan: Oh, sure.
8:45 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: If I make it more “user-friendly” it would most likely dig into the tropes that I want to stay away from.
8:45 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The “bug” is the USP 😉
8:45 PM ~Dan: I’m doubly glad that your initial KS met with success for that very reason. You deserve success for taking a potentially big creative risk.
8:46 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yeah. I have been asked if I would convert the setting to 5E, but….
8:46 PM ~Dan: Heh.
8:47 PM ~Dan: Actually, even that’s not quite right. It’s not the risk itself that’s noteworthy — it’s the result. I’ve seen a lot of “unconventional” work that’s crap, IMHO. 😀
8:47 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I might tweak the Quickstart to make it even more accessible
8:47 PM * ~Dan nods
8:48 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: But the core products will retain the formula that makes BV what it is.
8:49 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And I think, that as long as I keep publishing content players that are open-minded and ready for something more than 5E and Pathfinder will find their way to Black Void 😀
8:49 PM ~Dan: Yeah. What fascinates me about the game in general is that it’s akin to a Call of Cthulhu game in which the players completely leave the “normal” world behind and get swept away into the Mythos.
8:49 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And I intend to do that 😉
8:49 PM ~Dan: Good for you, my man. 🙂
8:50 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Which is also why backers get exclusive access to the pre-launch of “Into the Oblivious Depths” 130 page adventure
8:50 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: conceived by Crystal Mazur and co-written with me.
8:50 PM ~Dan: Oh, come on. “Crystal Mazur”? It’s so obvious that name’s made up for Black Void. 😀
8:51 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Ha ha ha
8:51 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: (Link: https://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/78799/crystal-mazur)https://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/78799/crystal-mazur
8:51 PM ~Dan: I kid, obviously. But it IS a cool name. 🙂
8:52 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And she is a cool person!
8:52 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I cannot wait to release that adventure.
8:52 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I did an update about it on the Kickstarter a couple of days ago.
8:53 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The brilliant thing is that it will be sent out to backers shortly after the Kickstarter ends… so instant gratification.
8:53 PM ~Dan: (That just reminded me of an old Wayne’s World segment during the Gulf War, when they rated “Wolf Blitzer” as the worst reporter’s name. “Like, it’s totally obvious he made that name up for the war. ‘Hi, this is Howitzer Explosion Guy!'”)
8:53 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Ha ha ha 😀
8:54 PM ~Dan: You mentioned that the supplement will go into more detail about Void travel?
8:55 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Void vessels
8:55 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: but yes
8:56 PM ~Dan: What are they like? I’m not sure I have the proper visual from the core rules.
8:56 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The focus will be on how characters can equip and crew Void vessels to go explore the Cosmos
8:56 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:56 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:57 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:57 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:57 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:57 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: They are much like ordinary ships, but with enhancements and tiny portholes so the Voidfarers don’t go mad from staring into the oblivious depths
8:57 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:57 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: DeShadow They can
8:57 PM ~Dan: That was weird…
8:57 PM ~Dan: wb, DeShadow! Technical difficulties?
8:58 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: DeShadow did you have a bug? 😀
8:58 PM +DeShadow: sorry, i dced
8:58 PM +DeShadow: yea
8:58 PM +DeShadow: i’ve not read the books fully but do humans know of past mythology and patreons likes zeus/hades etc
8:58 PM ~Dan: I’m assuming you didn’t mean to ask the same question 6 times. 😀
8:58 PM +DeShadow: yes, i did not, the feed wasnt updating
8:58 PM * ~Dan nods
8:58 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: right
8:58 PM ~Dan: No worries.
8:59 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: So, to asnwer your question(s), sure they can
9:00 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I primarily focus on mesopotamian influence, but any of the ancient civilisations (pre 1000 BC) could be represented
9:01 PM +DeShadow: nice! thank you!
9:01 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Sure
9:01 PM ~Dan: Speaking of which, do I recall one of the NPCs in the book essentially being something like a Germanic tribesman?
9:01 PM ~Dan: Or something similar?
9:01 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: yeah
9:02 PM ~Dan: (In the core book, I mean.)
9:02 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: yes indeed.
9:02 PM ~Dan: I thought that was interesting.
9:02 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Under Nebulous Skies will feature representatives of other areas of Earth as well
9:03 PM ~Dan: Cool.
9:03 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Not just the Middle Eastern influence
9:03 PM ~Dan: On a related note, does the entire cosmos of Black Void have a Middle Eastern feel to it, or just the portions detailed in the core rules?
9:04 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It differs
9:04 PM * ~Dan nods
9:04 PM ~Dan: Good to know.
9:05 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I draw inspiration from many places and don’t want these to be too apparent, so it is often a mix with my own weird imaginations interwined
9:05 PM ~Dan: I mean, don’t get me wrong: the Middle Eastern feel is one of the appealing things about the game to me. I just kind of find it hard to swallow that the whole universe is Cosmic Babylon. 🙂
9:06 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It isn’t 😉
9:07 PM ~Dan: What is the premise of the campaign that kicks off in Under Nebulous Skies?
9:07 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It starts with a funeral in Llyhn
9:08 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Possibly of someone the characters may have encountered in earlier adventures
9:09 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The funeral is disrupted by the appearance of the Ragged Catharsis cult, which draws the attention of a human refugee who finds herself lost in the Eternal city
9:09 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: after her and her group of emmisaries were assaulted.
9:10 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: She does not speak low Darij (the common tongue of Llyhn) and is clearly from another world.
9:11 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: So the characters stand with a choice of whether to help her or not.
9:11 PM +DeShadow: oh no, morale decisions from the start
9:11 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And then it’s one from there with a wide variety of people taking an interest in the whole debacle and them getting embroiled in this.
9:11 PM ~Dan: Heh. 🙂
9:11 PM +DeShadow: sounds like it’s gonna be fun
9:11 PM ~Dan: Indeed.
9:11 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I am really excited about it
9:12 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The playtesters have enjoyed it, so I think it will be well-received
9:12 PM ~Dan: How many portions will there be to this campaign, and over how many books will it be spread out?
9:12 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It’s a trilogy, and each opus will have three parts
9:13 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: So this is Opus I, and then two more books will follow to bring it to its finale
9:13 PM ~Dan: And I gather that each book will also be a supplement?
9:13 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And these will also include travelogue and possibly player’s options
9:13 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yes
9:14 PM ~Dan: Cool. I like that approach. I appreciated it about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer line back in the day.
9:14 PM ~Dan: And Deadlands.
9:14 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I like to include something for everyone
9:14 PM * ~Dan nods
9:14 PM ~Dan: Cool. 🙂
9:14 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And I like chunky books it seems 😀
9:14 PM ~Dan: Heh. 🙂
9:15 PM +DeShadow: chunky books are best
9:15 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: indeed
9:15 PM +DeShadow: but i like how all the stuff need are in 1 book for both players and DM
9:15 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: exactly
9:16 PM +DeShadow: and it’s tempting to read up on the monsters and adventure but i don’t want to spil it
9:16 PM +DeShadow: spoil it
9:16 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I prefer that to having to buy 2-3 books just to get the basics
9:16 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: He he he… exactly DeShadow
9:16 PM +DeShadow: players who memorise the entire MM normally spoil the “guessing what you fight” thing for me
9:17 PM ~Dan: Yeah.
9:17 PM +DeShadow: and kills DM excitement sometimes too
9:17 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: yeah. That’s one of the points of Black Void as well, nobody know what they are going to face because we don’t really include the “standard” monsters
9:17 PM ~Dan: That’s the truth. 🙂
9:17 PM +DeShadow: but i did see all the artwork and i really love it
9:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Cool
9:18 PM +DeShadow: looking forward to all the new art in the new book
9:18 PM +DeShadow: sucker for art hahaha
9:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yeah, we’ve got some great pieces coming
9:18 PM ~Dan: I think the standard response from PCs in Black Void is likely “OMGWTF”.
9:18 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: And some cool new artists as well as the previous ones
9:19 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: 😀 Dan
9:19 PM +DeShadow: like the cover art of the core book had me like, what in the world is this
9:19 PM ~Dan: Definitely, DeShadow.
9:19 PM +DeShadow: it’s not something i’ve seen before or recognize
9:19 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yeah, I just sent three new briefs to my main “monster” artist, you guys are in for a treat and a horrid one at that 😀
9:20 PM ~Dan: Random question: Are Void vessels armed, and if so, how?
9:20 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Generally they are not, because such weaponry is useless in the Void. albeit it might be useful on arrival
9:20 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I suppose you could add ballistae and such
9:21 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: That might be an idea to add actually. I hadn’t thought of that ;D
9:21 PM ~Dan: 🙂
9:21 PM * ~Dan pokes and prods mercilessly at settings. 🙂
9:21 PM ~Dan: Especially at intriguing ones. 😉
9:22 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I’ve made a note of it 😉
9:22 PM ~Dan: Good man!
9:23 PM ~Dan: You mentioned that there are new monsters in this book?
9:23 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yes indeed
9:23 PM ~Dan: How many?
9:24 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: at least 10
9:24 PM ~Dan: Cool.
9:24 PM ~Dan: And new sapient species as well?
9:24 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: of course 😉
9:25 PM ~Dan: How many of those?
9:25 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: There’s already three new sentient species in “Into the Oblivious Depths” and three new “monsters” as well
9:26 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I’ve got three planned for Under Nebulous Skies, but it might evolve before I’m done
9:26 PM ~Dan: Nice.
9:27 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yes, I’m excited about those as well
9:28 PM ~Dan: 🙂
9:28 PM ~Dan: You said that the book includes a travelogue as well?
9:28 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Yes, one of the parts is a deep-dive into the Kimah and Dhaarese districts of the Eternal City
9:29 PM ~Dan: Ah, so it doesn’t deal with other worlds?
9:29 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: The campaign does, but the travelogue does not
9:30 PM ~Dan: Gotcha.
9:30 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I intend for world books to be stand-alone or include a small adventure.
9:30 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: But these will come in-between 🙂
9:31 PM ~Dan: That’s a good approach, I think.
9:31 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It makes sense to me at least 😉
9:32 PM ~Dan: What’s next for Black Void after this book?
9:33 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I will have more stand-alone adventures from outside authors while I work on the second supplement
9:33 PM ~Dan: What will the second supplement be?
9:34 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: It will be a travelogue, likely of Pai’Karaan and Daer Bitaan, as well as Opus II of the grand campaign and possibly players option as well.
9:34 PM ~Dan: Cool.
9:35 PM ~Dan: Let’s see… Is there anything we haven’t covered that you’d like to bring up?
9:35 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: I think we’ve been around most of the things. But I’d like to point out that Devil’s Luck are running a weekly actual-play of Black Void at the moment
9:36 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: that I’d highly recommend
9:36 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: (Link: https://www.twitch.tv/devilsluckgaming)https://www.twitch.tv/devilsluckgaming
9:36 PM ~Dan: Oh, nice!
9:36 PM +Chris_BlackVoid: Fully costumed as well
9:36 PM ~Dan: Wow!
9:36 PM +DeShadow: followed
9:36 PM +DeShadow: thank you!
9:36 PM ~Dan: That’s some serious dedication!
