2023 Spring Update and Convention Preview

My 2023 convention calendar will be less aggressive than last year. I’ve decided to focus on local cons this year, which really reduces the options. I’ll update the calendar when confirmations and reservations are complete.

There’s a brand new re-designed Rota Fortunae Wizard’s Wheel to be released in the next month or so. It’s all newly designed from top to bottom. The numbers will be easier to read and they will spin better and look better. On top of that, they will include a whole new set of disc platters that I’ve selected based on playability. How many of you were using the d4? I’ve got a new critical hits disc and the d100 will come standard with every wheel. The 2023 Wizard’s Wheel Rota Fortunae will be better than ever. I’ve also started design of a new game that takes advantage of the Wheel as a randomizer, but that probably won’t be ready until 2024.

But really, despite the redesign and rebuild of the Wheel, it’s been a Winter of 5e Monsters: playtesting, re-writing, editing, editing, editing — I should have a 68-page pdf ready to go … soon. It’s formatted so I can hawk print versions at the cons if I ever get back on the road. I would like to do one formatted for mobile too, but that’s down the list so far that it could be superseded by just about anything before I get to it. There will be More Monsters from Beyond the Manor coming soon.
