Latest Updates from Our Project:

Gifts of Magic Released Today! Happy 2024!
7 months ago – Sat, Jan 06, 2024 at 01:18:50 PM

Promo banner for Anansi's Gifts of Magic, which shows the front cover (a dark image of a wizards work room, and on the table are several magical items form the book), the intro page, an excerpt from the wonderous magic items section, and the back cover featuring an image of a home alchemical lab.

First, I want to thank everyone for their kind messages and words of support in response to the Backer Only updates about my mom's extended hospitalization and everything we were going through. I'm grateful. I am happy to report my mom has been out of the hospital for a few weeks and was able to go back to her apartment, with the help of supportive home healthcare nurses and other therapy/healthcare providers. I'm also grateful that even after the many weeks off of chemo because of her surgery complications, she's still responding well to the treatments now that they've resumed. I'm crossing my fingers that this bodes well for the next few months at least. :)

I do want to share the good news that we got some really great print quotes. I want to give a special thanks to Brandon Tharp from Cantrip Cast, who hooked us up.

Anansi's Gifts of Magic Preview
9 months ago – Fri, Nov 10, 2023 at 02:46:38 PM

Quick updates. First on a personal note, thank you to everyone for your patience - and a special thank you to those who rwached out and sent well wishes. I really appreciate it. My mom's surgery was a little tougher than expected. She ended up in the ICU for a few days after recovery, but is on the mend now and going to a regular room today.

Prior to her needing emergency surgery, I thought we'd have Vox Storia populated today with some voice overs. My schedule got a little upended. However, we were able to work on Gift's of Magic, and I'm happy to share the following video preview:

Anansi's Gifts of Magic: Over 70 Magic Items

View Video

Yeah, so we put a little extra into this PDF, and you'll have over 70 magic Items when I put it up on DriveThru next week. There's a little extra art as well.


DRAFT preview of the cover for "Anansi's Tales of Adventure."

This has a few extra stat blocks, and we made sure that any NPCs or magic items referenced are in here, so you don't have to bounce between books. 

I may be incommunicado for a few days. I'm behind on work and everything. But I wanted to update you with something so you could see that there's progress and the project is moving forward every day (or close to every day). If I'm behind on replying to any emails, please ping me again. Thank you again for all of your support.

Hey, folks. I've been slow to repond because of work travel, and now my mom is in the hospital. She has surgery today, so *fingers crossed* 🙏 

My mom is always so positive.

Still working on your rewards. 

"Gifts of Magic" PDF should drop this week. Guving you some bonus magic items and new spells, because youve all been wonderful and patient. I really appreciate everyone.
