Hello, all!
It's been about a year since Warded Wishes launched, but that means it's once again time for the Countdown to Walpurgisnacht Game Jam!

For the past few years I've been making a new TTRPG every year, but I think this year will be a bit different. I really think I made something special with Warded Wishes, so this year my plan (fingers crossed) is to make a premade Ward that can facilitate one-shots and multi-shots. Additionally, I want to create more content to lower the barrier to playing Warded Wishes as well as do another layer of polishing. This might include doing art, making video tutorials, finally drafting a character sheet, and refining/distributing my Foundry VTT integration, but I plan to basically re-release the game as a remastered version!

One other fun fact about Warded Wishes is that similar to my other Magical Girl TTRPGs, I only got to playtest it once during my game dev period, and for this one that was a pretty early version as well. I've struggled to form a playtesting group this past year, but I'm excited that I've gotten a weekly group together! The last time that happened was with It'd Take a Miracle like 2 years ago, and that resulted in some tangible improvements to the game.

I will also add that one pain point is that as we move into version 1+, the game will move away from PWYW. This will help pay for art but it also means I can build up a mailing list on itch. It would be very cool if as part of this I could format the book for print on demand through DTRPG because that's something I'd want, especially if I got art for the game.

So that's an idea of what's to come in the next month and a half! I expect that some of this may or may not end up happening but I do want to be held somewhat accountable!
