Greetings, Dan here!

I come with news! Admittedly probably should have given you all an update before now. I'll see what I can do about that, but yes, the update! To begin with, Beneath Twisted Earth Free Version 1.2 along with an updated character sheet are now available to download. These new editions of the documents include some corrections, tweaks, and small additions. Specifically, the character sheet is mostly the same, just with a spelling correction. For the free rulebook, I made some small corrections in various sections, alphabetized the equipment in the garage to make it a little easier to find the equipment you're looking for, and in the same section added some rules for selling back your used parts to the garage.

Next, regarding the print and premium pdf versions of the game, progress has been slower than anticipated. They are about a third of the way completed. Unfortunately, that means my original estimate of Fall 2023 release is unlikely. I am currently in talks with a new graphic designer to see if we can speed up final production. With luck we might have it complete before end of year, but right now we're expecting a more conservative release of early 2024. The plan is still to have a print version go up on DriveThruRPG, as well as a premium pdf with some elements unique to that version on both platforms.  For no though, enjoy some more previews of the art that JGD has been cooking up for it.

Lastly, I just wanted to touch on some other plans in the works. I'm working on creating a community discord for Beneath Twisted Earth to serve as a gathering place for anyone interested in the game, but also include the tools players would need to run games in a centralized place. I don't have an estimate on that yet, but will post again when it's ready to go live. Also, for those of you who stopped by to check out the Mech Showcases, I'm going to be reworking those builds to remove the copywritten names. The new versions will then be bundled together into a pregen-mech pack for GMs to use as needed. I may even squeeze in one or two more mech showcases before then for mechs I've been wanting to build. (I'm looking at you Scopedog.)

Ok, that's it for now. Hope you all enjoy the new art and Free Version of the game. I look forward to seeing you all at the full release of Beneath Twisted Earth.

Until then, thank you for your continued interest!
