You voted for that award, loyal followers and those fresh in their discovery of the game, and it feels all the sweeter for the achievement. I appreciate it.

You can acquire the softcover edition or PDF of Dee Sanction: Adventures from All Rolled Up. You can also acquire the individual adventures in PDF format from DriveThruRPG.

I’m excited to say that The Dee Sanction won the Judges Award of Best Role-Playing Game against a challenging shortlist – of Osprey Game’s Jackels and Free League’s Vaesen.

The award plaque now takes its place next to the 2019 Judges Award for Best Role-Playing Game Adventure awarded to The Cthulhu Hack: Valkyrie Nine.

I’m humbled and thankful for all the support offered over the last year by everyone involved in bringing this game of Elizabethan supernatural investigation to life.

Today, I have:

1. Tweaked the rules for completing tasks
2. Created an updated ‘character sheet’
3. Added 8 new cards to the character stack
4. Asked nicely for a special All Rolled Up dice bag

The task resolution system now supports losing something to push for success. You might get hurt, lose faith, or fall flat with a damning slap to the ego. Power, Penance, and Prestige can each take temporary or more permanent damage – the former ticked off in the boxes, the later written out as something more permanent.

So, you could tick off a Power, which indicates a twist, bruise or cut; three ticks mean something more permanent, like a broken bone, a minor concussion, or the loss of your favoured weapon.

The new character sheet has spaces at the bottom for your three character creation cards – in order A, B, and C – and room at the top for marking your state of wellbeing.

I have added more character cards – two new professions, three new affiliations, and three new bad books. That means I now have just one short of 12 cards for each – with the books falling short at 11. That works out as quite an array of skills, backgrounds and suggested period-appropriate names.

Finally, my wife was good enough to offer to make an All Rolled Up dice bag for my game – and I helped pick out material. I can’t guarantee that anyone else would want a bag in the combination of fabrics selected – but, you never know. I’ll post a picture when it’s done.

Aside from getting a handout or two prepared for the game, I should be ready for Expo (and tomorrow evening).
