CBA November Progress Update
over 1 year ago – Sun, Nov 10, 2024 at 07:01:12 AM

Hello everyone! This is your November update

Here is the list of the news items I would like to share with all of you in dot points:

  • Why the Delay
  • Book Production Process
  • New Playtest Materials
  • Tutorial Videos
  • Future Release Schedule
  • Discord Community and Q&A session

Why the Delay

Apologies for the late update, everyone. I have just returned from my travels. It was a research travel where I visited manufacturers to research what products are possible for a future campaign. I have seen a lot of exciting stuff and I will be discussing them with all of you in the near future.

As part of my travels, I have also visited family my members who live abroad. What was a happy reunion turned into near tragedy when my brother suddenly suffered a heart attack and lost consciousness. It was lucky that I was around to perform CPR & rushed him to hospital. He survived the ordeal but needed 3 rings for his artery bypass surgery. (Stop smoking, ya’ll!)

Then, upon my return from the trip, I was hit by a terrible fever and was bedridden for 3 whole days. For those few days, I could not stomach anything solid and survived only on bottled juice.

Barraged by one unforeseen event after another, it resulted in some delays to the project but we still made some progress. You can read about the state of the project below. 

Book Production Process

Due to the recent US port strike, the Core Rulebooks reached our publisher’s warehouse late, but it’s finally there. Fulfillment will commence sometime soon.

New Playtest Materials

We are starting to release playtest materials for our future campaign. We have just released the Flowing Form Martial Artist class and Cataphract Champion class, which you can find here: https://www.cloudbreakerrpg.com/pages/playtest-material

  • Flowing Form & Cataphract Class

An'Imaria

Our publisher, Japanime Games, have informed me that they’re working on an Anime-Inspired 5E setting, An'Imaria. This kickstarter caught my attention because they have TTRPG heavyweights such as Ed Greenwood, Keith Baker and Luke Gygax, contributing to the project. 

Frankly, I’m curious how Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms setting can add to a setting Inspired by Frieren, One Piece, and Delicious in Dungeon. 

Among others, they have nearly 500 pages, including 24+ subclasses, 3 new classes, 9+ species, 20+ magic items, and 30+ new monsters.

You can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/japanimegames/animaria-anime-roleplaying-in-5th-edition

Future Release Schedule

This is the updated release schedule.

  • October/Early November - Magic & Spells
  • November - New Playtest Material
  • November - Items & Equipment

As a reminder, I will be traveling at the end of this month. I will be checking out the printing facility and other things to research what’s possible for future projects. The travel will last until early November. I can still be reached through various social media, such as Discord, but my replies will be delayed.
