Alright, so now that ViNoWriMo is over, and I've had a bit to breathe, I'd like to talk about the next steps I wanna take to improve this system. Right now, I've been fairly busy, and so have all of my playtesters, so we haven't had a chance to test anything.

Once I get a time set up with them and test/balance the game, here's the plan:

• Finalize the Guidebook, with spells n skills up to lvl 10 (future expansions will go beyond this, but for now 10 will be my stopping point)
  • I should note, I may do this in the first expansion instead, depending on how things go.
• Create an item guide, featuring many a shenanigan.
• Create a short campaign guide, with a few encounters and quests, with a story set in Aerilon to showcase lore and also teach mechanics.

How long will this take me? I'm not sure. Remember, this is a side project, I'm actually a musician. So who knows. I usually work on it whenever I feel the urge to or get inspired to. I do want to get it done though.

And I want to keep going! I have ideas for expansions floating around in my head, featuring old characters from stories I used to work on for fun or used as characters for creative writing class in high school. My plan for each expansion is to include a new class, potentially a new playable race, some magic items, and a story guide. Some might even have new deities!  Most if not all of them will take place not in the land of Aerilon, although they will still still be on the same planet/in the same dimension (Just a different landmass, basically).

Once I get to starting on the first expansion, I will likely put out a poll on my twitter (or a twitter I make for this or a poll site, some kinda poll), and that will decide which concept of the bunch I'll do first. Don't worry, I'll *try* to get all the ideas I have done.

And uh... not to spoil too much... but I do plan on adding a bard like class. But not bard. Cooler than bard. Trust me.
