Hello everyone! This is just a quick update to let you know that the book is finally finished and ready! I'll be sending it tomorrow to the printer, and I'll keep you updated on the printing process. I'm preping the PDF to officially send to all of you via Backerkit this weekend. So, be ready for it.
I've started already with the Dream Wars supplement, but that is a whole new process. But the core of the game is already done, so this will be a much faster one. I'll keep updating on that regard.
As always, thank you so much for all your patience, and for your best wishes and support during my covid recovery. I'm doing great by the way, and already registered to get vaccination soon. Really thanks to all of you for your messages and best wishes.

Para la versión en español, ya está muy avanzado. Los primeros capítulos ya en maquetación, y sólo falta terminar la traducción del último capítulo (que ya va avanzada). Pronto lo estaré mandando a imprimir también y estaré mandando los PDFs (de cualquier forma todo mundo recibirá este fin de semana el PDF en inglés). Gracias por su paciencia.
Hello everyone, I have great news both on my health and on the project!
I'm breathing fully by myself now. No more extra oxygen from tanks or machines! I'm still doing lung excersises. And the doctor actually said that I should consider a fact I need to do excerise from now on, so once I'm able to I'll go back to training martial arts like a used to do 7 years ago. Fingers crossed!
About the project
I've also manage to finish the last chapter of the book! It is past dev editing and it is now in editing, once the editor sends it back I'll put it in layout for sharing with you all. After that all that is left is the appendix (I'm already working on it) that will include the NPCs some of you contributed with. So close!
Just so you know, I'm not exerting myself the way I used to, working 'til 3am every night. I'm actually doing most of the work on the weekends, but leaving some time to rest and decompress too.
Thank you again for all your support and patience, and for all your messages regarding my health situation. Les mando a todos un fuerte abrazo!
Hey everyone, here is a small update on how things are going with my health.
In general I'm doing good, I've been showing great progress, and I am now not with an oxygen tank, but with an oxygen concentrator (which is a machine that concentrates the oxygen from the air in the ambient and sends it thru at about 80% oxygen, unlike the tank that is pure oxygen). What this means is that, little by little, I've been needing less and less external help to keep my saturation levels.
Right now I'm doing a rehab program, asigned by a lung rehabilitator, that includes breathing excercises, and physical excercises (like walking, squats, an going up and down in a sigle stair). This past week was my first, and next week the rehabilitator will come again to check my progress.
It is a slow process but I'm doing really well.
About the project
I've started to get back on track with the final chapter, I can't yet give an acurate estimate, but as soon as I have one I will let you all know. My hope is that next time I send an update is to tell you that you can all download the finished PDF, and that the book is on the printer.
What has also been progressing, while I am in recovery, is the Roll20 sheets! I'm hoping soon you all will be able to test it and give us feedback!

As always, thank you! And I hope for all of us a better year and the best of health! De todo corazón!
I write this as I'm confined to my room hooked up to an oxygen tank recovering from covid. Yep, fuck 2020!
I'm okay, last visit from the doctor was really positive. The infection actually passed without too much turmoil, I really never feel that bad. The only problem was that my oxygen levels dropped below 90, we are working on bringing that up, hence the oxygen tank next to me (plus lots of meds).
Sadly, this of course thru down the toilet my plans to finish the book before the end of the year. All I can say is that I'm focusing on recovering and once I'm better (in a couple if weeks according to the doc) I will resume work and try my best to get the book to the printer on February (at the latest). This is only hoping of course. Life is always throwing us curved balls!
I know you all will understand my predicament, and I know you will remain as patient and supportive as always. I really really have nothing but gratitude towards you all!
Best wishes for this coming 2021... and again: fuck you 2020!
