Latest Updates from Our Project:

🧿Fix your cards if they errored, project update, communication channels, and latest artwork!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 09:55:44 PM

Hello Adventurers!

I wanted to pop in and give a quick update!

  • Cards are being charged, so if you've gotten a message that your card didn't go through, you should get on that asap before you're dropped!
  • Surveys will likely be going out in the next two weeks. I haven't run a project through BackerKit before, so I'm still working out a few bugs.

Communication Channels

  • BackerKit: I will target sending an update every three weeks or so, providing the high level overview with the latest progress, important dates, and what to expect next
  • Discord: This is where I drop the day-to-day details, post concept art ready for review, and look for feedback on mechanics and lore.
  • CreedsCodex.com: I will be adding content to the site as it is finished, so you can use it as soon as possible and not have to wait for the final book. I'll also be building a dashboard, likely on the roadmap page, to give you the quick snapshot of the project.
  • Weekly Email: I share something each week with the happenings at Knight Vision Creative. Last week was looking for feedback on a potential Baldur's Gate 3 mod. I also regularly send out free PDFs, artwork updates, and other freebies!
  • YouTube: I have started outputting content the community has requested, such as a guide for starting a D&D publishing business. Let me know what you'd like to see, and I'll keep cranking out videos catered to your requests! I've had a lot of outdoors stuff to prep, so that's on there too!

Project Updates

The long tent poll for this project is going to be artwork, so I've been working to keep that pipeline flowing with the army of artists.

We've had some sweet artwork concept pieces coming through since the campaign ended. Here's a quick rundown:

Awakened Mind


Body Modifications


Divination Sentinels

Vaults of the Elders


Looking forward to continue bringing this masterpiece to life with you all! Great things ahead!

Talk soon and let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, Brendan here!

You all have been blazing through the community goals and just unlocked a new summoner subclass! We’re only 1 subscriber away from unlocking a new psion subclass. Over 100 of you joined the YouTube channel last week—you’re absolutely crushing it!



Now, I need your input! I’ve put together a 1-minute survey to hear what kind of content you’d love to see in the new subclasses. Let me know what excites you the most: 



Also, here’s an initial concept piece that just came in for one of the adventure scenes. I can’t wait to see how the final render turns out!

Super stoked to be on this adventure with you all! I can’t wait to read through your survey ideas and create something truly epic together. 

Talk soon!

🧿Playtesting is beginning, feel free to join a session!

Hello Adventurers!

I'm kicking off playtesting in Discord this week!

If you're interested in joining a session, hop over to the server. We're also running an ongoing drop-in campaign in a Westmarches-style setup with multiple DMs and players. Whether you're looking for a one-shot or a regular game, there's a place for you. Plus, you'll get sneak peeks at artwork concepts and have a say in the final versions!



The campaign is cruising along! Super stoked to build with you all! I put together a quick poll on the direction for the divination sentinels. Let me know in the comments if you've got more thoughts as well!

Talk soon,
Brendan

P.S. Discord is one of the community goals we can hit too, so two birds one stone sort of situation. Nothing better than a passionate legion of players and DMs excited to make and experience the best content ever!
