Did you know that FlashFire Studios is a Sikh-owned and operated business running out of Alberta, Canada? I, H3X, author of FlashFire Magazine, converted to Sikhi when I was just 16 years old. A lot of my stories have spiritual undertones as a result. This April, celebrating Vaisakhi and Ridvan both as a Ridvani Sikh, I took a lot of time to spiritually center myself and ready myself for another summer.
Some of you may have noticed that we posted the stories contained within the pages of FlashFire Magazine for free on our blog — check it out. If you like what you see, consider picking up some of the other issues to get the full story. Or, if you’re a ttrpg fan, I’d highly recommend picking up the digital edition of issue #4, on sale in our shop. It’s only $1.50 and you get nearly 50 pages of content. Also, now it’s available in epub and pdf format, not just pdf.
Oh, and by the way. I finally updated the Flash RPG rulebook — version 1.2 is free to download. Namely, there were some much-needed formatting fixes which make not only the list of playable species but also the entire book more readable. So too were the ‘evil’ reputation titles added, alongside descriptions for the ‘Repair’ and ‘Research’ skills, as Investigation was replaced by Research.
Also, I added the size chart and a new race, the Ythwynaen which have shown up in many developer sessions. As to the size chart, I don’t know how I forgot that. I also updated the credits to include some of the playtesters.
And, for those interested in our Premium Blog, I have posted the full rough draft of “The King in Yellow”, Act I, planned for a June release yet available now for your reading pleasure.
Man. Sometimes I make myself sound pretty cool. If only I could use that to my advantage to make some sales, haha.
Also. I haven’t posted a changelog, but I have been doing some hotfixes, bugfixes, and new additions to Friday Force (Dwarfum Necumonum!!!), especially now that the S.H. Toinne Center map by EskimoCanadian4 has been successfully ported over from a certain other block game now. Namely, I have added transmitters, and applied some light bugfixes to make cracked glass not crash the game. We actually did a 4+ hour livestream available on YouTube and a video showing off EskimoCanadian4’s map, specifically some new customizations — search ‘Friday Force Luanti game’ on YouTube and it should come up.
