New art completed and a major test ahead!

A big test of my game is upcoming as two of the most brutally honest critics I have try out the latest version of the game this weekend. Those critics are my younger brothers. Although with my 40th approaching next week, and my youngest brother at 34, and the smartest, best writer middle brother at 37, it's fun to think we have been gaming together for 30 years now. Damn, that does not make me feel old, just blessed!

Anyway we grew up playing RPG's together and while they have both had some trial tests of Roguish, this weekend is a full adventure, and if it stinks on ice, they will happily let me know. Barring disaster, my goal is to have a micro sample version of the rules available for free in expectation of the full game release in January of next year.

What could be even better? Some fantastic new illustrations were completed this week for Roguish. I am very happy and honored to have a terrific number of illustrations from Mr. Richard Luschek. I specifically requested the illustrations be of scenes in silhouette. His illustrations bring a scene to life, and leave a lot of the details to your imagination to fill in which is the aspect of gaming I enjoy the most. Richard's illustrations are a perfect mirror of that sense of wonder.

You can catch a sneak peek of some of the recently finished illustrations on Mr. Luschek's blog.
