Greetings, Dan here!

So it's been just over a month since the Beneath Twisted Earth Print Edition launched on DriveThruRPG, and we've been busy in the background. I just wanted to take a moment to check in, and let folks know what to look forward to. First and foremost, development continues on Beneath Twisted Earth: Overdrive. This expansion will feature new options for pilots, their mechs (including combiners), new factions with associated contracts, adversaries, paranormal elements that can be added to campaigns, and most recently an expansion of Oceanic Threats. Content development is in late stages with the next phase being proof reading and art development. We're not quite at the stage yet to share an estimate of completion.  So keep your eyes out.

Next, I've begun working on some new crossover pregens with other mecha ttrpg creators. It's too early to share who just yet, but look forward to it.

Some of you may have noticed, but a second Cloudshore Games rpg was released in alpha as part of the Minimalist Game Jam run by our friends at Binary Star Games. There Is No Outside, is a game of survival and community building in a liminal labyrinth. The alpha version has been going through playtesting, and a full Free Version is in the final stages now. This first release is expected to be available by early spring. Why this game is relevant for followers of Beneath Twisted Earth is not just to show support for Cloudshore Games' new project, but also because There Is No Outside also uses the same Vibe System as BTE. That means the new game is compatible with existing BTE material. Characters from one game could easily be converted into the other with minimal effort, and game-unique mechanics could be carried over as well! Those who paid attention during the previews of BTE Overdrive may also even find a certain familiar organization making an appearance there as well. Check out the alpha version now at There Is No Outside

Lastly, something I've always been a fan of is sporting emblems from my favorite franchises on clothes, stickers, and more. Since JGD was kind enough to create all the fantastic faction logos, and propaganda art for the BTE Premium editions, I started working on setting up a print on demand workshop so folks can show off their favorite factions! Stay tuned for more details on that.

That is everything going on for Cloudshore Games for the moment. Most things are in development, but fairly far along. I would look forward to seeing some things come out this year. Things may be turbulent for many of us right now, but we must forge ahead. No one can change who we are and what we love. So the best thing we can do is keep true to ourselves! For me, that's working on ttrpgs. I hope you'll join me as I continue to share them with you. As has become my saying of late:

May your sorties be many, and may your glory last forever!
