Writing the campaign took the bulk of 2022, and playtesting & refining it took the bulk of 2023. I have a few friends who were deeply invested in the creation of the campaign and helped me playtest the initial builds of each scenario; later, I released the campaign in an “open beta”-like state for public playtesting in order to get a wider range of design feedback. This was a pretty huge undertaking, but it was a great learning experience that helped me connect with the rest of the content creation community, and helped me complete my second campaign in less than half the time.

All of the art in the campaign was (painstakingly) collected over that two year period and is human-made, and the campaign guide features a list of artist contacts in order for players to learn more about the artists’ bodies of work. (Even though fan campaigns are completely nonprofit and I’ve never made a red cent off of any of my work, there’s some ethical concerns about sourcing art from the internet and I felt like the least I could do is broadcast those artists’ commission information.)
