I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter Sunday!
May you all be blessed with good comfort and tidings to you and yours!
Roan has entered layout phase, the first layout having reached my desk for review!
Soon we shall have the book finished, and I can’t wait to get it out to you all as well as my backers!
Till then, be safe, and game on!

February and it is the time of hearts and hooves, dates, flowers, love, and home alone ice cream!
No matter how you enjoy your weekend, know that you are appreciated for your support of ponies, Roan, and rpg games in general!
The Roan World at War is finally reaching the end, and plans are to have the entire book sent to CatsPaw for layout work end of this month.
A mass amount of balances and re-writes had to be done after I submitted the book to my editor, all to tighten and better explain the rules to you all!\
I am sorry for how long it has taken, but I do look forward to having the books sent out, and I look forward to hearing about your own campaigns whether in Roan, or in your own world!
Enjoy a sneak peek of art for the book!

Good day and a New Year!
May she be kinder, calmer, and less chaotic, as I think we could all use a break!
Roan News
It is the last legs, one of my largest updates for the backers has gone out which includes rules for Ranks, Commendations, and Additional Talents.
Ranks allow Officers to earn a few bonus points and also increase their Platoon by 1.
Commendations can last for the rest of the campaign, or they can be spent as a limited time bonus.
Talents are merely abilities that offer Platoons an advantage on the field!
A few minor works are weapon names and descriptions, which should at least anchor things down with equipment weapons.
One of the biggest challenges I found with Roan World at War, is having to look at things from a Platoon perspective and not a Character perspective, where a shovel might matter to the character, it is superfluous to a Platoon.
Still, lots learned, and lots of fun, and soon you can all expect to then see other armies introduced, and the long in writing Cyberpunk series!
Till then, Game On!

Hello and welcome, Christmas has passed, and a New Year is literally around the corner from us.
I come asking for help for a friend.
Nathan has been a long time buddy of mine, who along with his brother Justin, have helped with the development of Roan as idea boards for me to toss thoughts at.
As well Nathan is a tremendous artist, who during these hard times, also works at the Baltimore Washington Medical Center.
You can certainly see great examples of his work at N8dogg5k
Sadly their father, Frank Barlow, who was a very good friend, and a very knowledgeable man on many amazing things, passed away unexpectedly. This only after the passing of his wonderful wife Darlene a little more than a year previously.
This has left a lot of financial troubles for my friend and his brothers and his sister to support the home and such, so I hope you all can extend a little good will to help spread the signal or donate to the GoFundMe Above.
Thank you for any help that you can offer, and expect to hear from me tomorrow night as we tear the final day off the 2020 calendar, and usher in 2021, the year of the OX.
I wish you all a safe Holiday, and a brighter happier 2021
With my thanks, god speed, and Game On!

Prepare for Spoopiness!
The dark comes, and the candy beckons hungry mouths to devour them whole!
Roan World at War is in the art phase, it is slow going, as art is, but nearly all backers have their character art, and progress is certainly being made, so YAY!
Till then, everyone be safe!
If you are in the US, and are of voting age, study up the people running and vote!
Game on and be well!

Art as usual, by the awesome RavenPuff, see more Puffy at her DA site!
Arts being worked on for Backers, step by step, and I’ve taken the extra time to really sculpt the rules to be smoother and more streamline.
Take care during these crazy times!

Stay safe you all!

Dale has really become best buddies with Newbie, teaching him the important things like tossing out the jokers, nobody uses them in a game of cards!
As for news on World at War, mostly I’m just waiting on select art pieces that will help out all the other artists, these being a few of the basic vehicles and equipment, and also the troops uniforms.
With these, it’ll keep things a little uniform for the art work!
