Far Beyond Humanity Weekly Update #8
Uhhh… weekly. Yeah. <_<
So yeah, this is the point where I put the back of my wrist on my forehead and lament about the difficulties of writing and being creative and such. Last week was indeed a wash, creativity wise. Totally blocked. But life goes on, and I must power through.
Chapter 6 – Assets finished
Huzzah. This chapter has been kinda hanging half-done in limbo for a while. Went back and put all the old asset types together, adding new upgrades for all of them.
I also added two NEW types of Assets:
– Artillery are super-heavy, stationary weapons. These will be useful in Colony and Station games, or in situations where the players want to design their own Starship weapons. Plus it gives a bit more (entirely optional) mechanical structure to the otherwise hand-wave-y artillery that the GM might introduce.
– Beasts are loyal xeno-fauna companions that can act as a cross between a Crew, a Vehicle and an independent Melee Weapon.
What’s Next
With Chapter 6 done, the only thing left is… Chapter 3 -_- The Arcana chapter is still knocking me flat every time I attempt to wrangle it. I’m circling it right now, looking for a good angle of attack.
As usual, everything is available in the previews folder on Dropbox, and I welcome any comments or questions you may have. I invite you to take a look, take the new Asset upgrades for a theoretical spin just to see if anything utterly silly falls out, and so forth.

Pets!
It’s weekly in our hearts
I’m really looking forward to this!
Thanks Sean. I know this isn’t easy – if it was everyone would be doing it.
I’ll need to try using the beasts to simulate the dragonet security bots I read about in Perilous Waif.
Actually! I forgot to mention, there’s a new Crew design called “artificial” for all your robotic servitor needs.
Hello! That could simulate at least some of the warbots in that book as well.
Will this book be kickstarted for a finished product or just a digital expansion book? Or did I miss a Kickstarter for it?
Hopefully sooner than later. I really dig the additions in it!
