Dark Forest Campaign is Live! Roll20 Update!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 08, 2022 at 04:00:49 PM

Dark Forest Campaign Begins Today!

You can check it out here if you're interested in a physical copy of the book. It will be starting at 10:00, CST! It also includes a reprint of the Core Rulebook, complete with errata and typo corrections!

A biopunk jungle adventure!
All three books are available, including a reprint of the original book!

Roll20 Update!

The GeneFunk 2090 Core Rulebook compendium will be completed this month, and I expect a Shadows of Korea module to be completed in January. Developing on Roll20 has been quite the learning curve, I wasn't able to set things up exactly as I initially intended, but other unexpected things have really impressed me. I'll update you again once these projects are finished!

Roll20 Compendium In the Works (Thanks to Shadows of Korea Stretch Goal)!

Shadows of Korea Campaign Unlocks Roll20 Compendium!

Continued work on the GeneFunk 2090 Roll20 sheet, with rules content and features added from drop-down menus, and drag & drop functionality. Less need to copy/paste from the PDF when you make characters! I'll be working to get all of the rules and features in the Core Rulebook available on the official Roll20 character sheet.

Even if you aren't a part of that campaign, you'll still be able to benefit from this as the sheet will be available to the public.

For users of Fantasy Grounds and VTT Foundry, I'll keep you posted as community based development continues on sheets and compendiums for those platforms. :)

There's one week left in the Shadows of Korea campaign, so if you want a physical copy, I encourage you to check it out. :)  

Shadows of Korea Campaign Begins! Pregen Characters are Done!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 10:42:29 AM

Shadows of Korea Campaign Begins Today! 

You can check it out here if you're interested in a physical copy of the book. It will be starting at 10:00, CST. Stretch goals include adding two more merc contracts, another 10 pages of NPCs, more virtual tabletop support, and an offset print run!

Pregenerated Characters are Done!

This took a lot longer than expected! :D  There are 24 pregenerated characters, one for each class archetype. Versions of them are included for both level 1 and level 3, the two most common starting points for a story. You can find them here, but I'll send out a general email with them as well.   

Roll20 Sheet is Up, Shadows of Korea in Alpha Phase
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 09, 2020 at 04:53:34 AM

Happy October everyone! 

The Roll20 Sheet Is Up

The sheet can be found in the drop-down menus when setting up a campaign. The coder is contracted for the next 5 months to fix any bugs that might emerge. In the future, certain aspects could be expanded, so if there is a feature you're dying to have, let me know and I'll see if I can arrange it. I'll look into creating additional Roll20 content in the future.

Shadows of Korea Is In Alpha Phase

The content and layout are done and are being fine tuned. It's sitting at around 160 pages right now. Backers can find the Alpha on the Discord server, andI will send everyone a DTRPG link of the first Beta version before Halloween. An excellent editor has just been hired for the final draft, which I'm very excited about! 

Right now Shadows of Korea includes the following:

  • 18 different political, criminal, and corporate factions (with a faction rating system)
  • Over a dozen amazing battlemaps illustrated by the amazing Miska Fredman 
  • 32 different narrative NPCs
  • 12 different fully detailed merc contracts 
  • Encounter tables (both for combat and narrative purposes)
  • 8 new class archetypes
  • New engineered genomes

In November I'll set up a Kickstarter Campaign to see if there is sufficient interest for a print-run as well as expanding it to include even more content. But don't worry, as backers, you're already guaranteed to get the full PDF as part of your Stretch Goal rewards, even if it is much more hefty than I originally anticipated! :D  This will just be a chance to get a printed book and expand upon what you're already getting.

Pregen Characters Coming Soon

I'll make a post about pregenerated characters in the coming weeks as well. I'll make sure to include a couple of Halloween themed ones.  :D


Errata v2, GM Screen, Fillable Character Sheet Updated
almost 4 years ago – Mon, May 25, 2020 at 01:10:59 AM

Errata + Typos for the Core Rulebook

The PDF has been updated to include typo correction and some errata. You can download the updated PDF through DriveThruRPG, and you can see the summary of changes here

Printable GM Screen Completed

1 of 4 pages included in the GM screen

It can be downloaded here. This GM screen is for quick rules references, and can be printed out. In the future this will likely get a full-spread of art for the front and be available for print-order on DTRPG, but for now, I suggest double-siding the screen! Players often need the rules even more than the GM. :)  

Fillable Character Sheet PDF Now Has All 3 Pages

It has been updated on DTRPG, or it can be downloaded here.  

Roll20 Sheet Still In Progress

This is behind schedule! The coder has hit some snags, and I've learned to take estimates with a grain of salt. :)  It is still expected to be finished any day/week now, hopefully sooner rather than later! Hope you are enjoying yourselves this spring, be well!
