End of 2025 Update! Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas to everyone!
7 months ago – Sat, Dec 27, 2025 at 12:14:03 AM

Eyo all!

It's been a while! I hope you're all enjoying your December revelries and are taking it easy. I got some news for all of you that you'll like to hear.

  • Progress: 
    • General: Some major changes have been made to the layout after receiving a lot of feedback. The spells have been reformated to look nicer and more readable, and throughout the books, things have been improved in the beauty department a lot. A major change is that the map inside the book is going to be kept small; adding in a big map just doesn't work all that well when you have to break that map up. But... in exchange, every physical order gets an A2-sized map added to come with the hardcover. This way, we can keep the map in one piece, and it'll look amazing! The map will also be provided as a separate PNG file for the digital folks. No extra charge or anything, just an extra treat for the holidays! The map itself is already done, and the print for them is planned to start after the new year. I'll send in a picture when they're done!
    • 5E version is done! After 4 weeks of trying and messing around with colours, getting help and messing around some more, the book is in a state I'm happy with. 
    • PF1e: Prestige class is almost finalised; the rest of the classes and content are already put into the PDF. 
    • PF2e: The PF2e version had been put into the mother file as far as I'm able, but my conversion people haven't finished their work yet. They're as busy as everyone else in this time of year, so that's only logical.  
  • Sneak Peak: For the festivities, I did promise a map. I am not going to post the full map here (that'd be weird), so I'll post the WIP version here. Hope you like it!
  • Packages and Sending: Good and bad news here. The good news is that I can ship to the USA relatively reliable now. The bad news is that I have no way of circumventing the 15% tarrif that has been placed there. Which means the shipping costs will have to be increased slightly to compensate. My apologies for this, but there's no other way for me to get the books to your doorstep for now. I'm open for suggestions (no Drivethru, already tried them).
  • Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!
  • Other news: I have also been working on more small one-page one-shots in between the Codex work. Look forward to those as well if you like smaller bite-sized bits of content!

That's all the news I have for you today. Apologies for the silence, but things have been frustratingly hectic on the printing, graphic design and shipping front. Thanks for sticking with me, and I'll speak to you all in the new year. 

Cheers and enjoy the remaining days of 2025,

Mark 

October 2025 Update! Spookiest update of the year!
9 months ago – Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 02:13:59 PM

Eyo all!

Happy Halloween, everybody! Figured it'd be appropriate to give you all an update on this spooky little day. Hope you're all doing fine. 

  • Progress: I can keep this nice and short. The 5E version is in the colour correction phase. Had some feedback about some of the pictures bugging out. That took a while to figure out how to fix. The PF1e version is getting another Prestige Class. Why? Because it didn't feel complete without it. The PF2e version is progressing steadily, with the rest of the conversion getting there. 
  • Sneak Peak: For this spooky season, have a sneak preview of more Lugon Codex content! The Fallen Nation of Neradia! The Called are one of my favorite factions to run in Lugon. Even though they don't have much of a presence, there'll be plenty of content for them in the next couple of projects! On the preview, the picture shown references the nation on the page after, namely the Paros Empire. It also gives a good feel for how Neradia used to look, though!
  • Packages and Sending: In short... there are still issues with sending to the USA. Including confirmed disposals of packages that came from outside the USA. So I can't send them yet in good conscience. For the rest of the world, I've found relatively cheap parties. So hopefully that'll go great!
  • Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!

This is all the news I've got so far. I've got a small update planned mid October for some other things I'm planning. Now that the infrastructure for this is there, the next projects from the Wanderer Games should go infinitely smoother!

Cheers and happy spooking,

Mark 

September 2025 Update! Seventh update of the year!
10 months ago – Thu, Oct 02, 2025 at 05:32:13 AM

Eyo all!

It's time for the Se-... Guess I forgot the time. Apologies everyone. This month the academic year started again, and work has been chaotic to say the least. This is the September update, despite it being posted on the second. Just pretend it’s still September for a moment, please!

  • Progress: The 5E version is about done for print. I’ve gotten some feedback from Alpha readers that is being addressed now. Regarding the printing, some of the pictures have turned out way darker than I would like, so I’m fixing that as well. I want all the artwork to look as good as I can make it. Good news for the PF2e version, too: There has been progress on the conversion. I still can’t pin a date in fear of being wrong, but steps are being made. If you have any feedback or suggestions, don't hesitate to message or post here! And sorry for the delays, I am a single person who’s trying to get this all done himself, so life can get in the way at times.
  • Sneak Peak: To tide you over, have a sneak preview of more Lugon Codex content! The Dusk of Life!
  • Packages and Sending: There are still issues with sending to the USA. The main service has not resumed sending yet. I am looking into alternatives that do not entail paying 20 dollars more than usual. Will keep all of you posted.
  • Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!
  • Update for a Show of Thanks and Support: I have noticed that some buttons didn’t appear properly in the shop on the site, so people couldn’t quite download the full packages. This has now been fixed. You can download extra tokens and the high-res maps (and the latest versions of the PDFs) properly now on the https://www.thewanderergames.com website. Still for free. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope you like the free content!

This is all the news I've got so far. The next update will stay in October, I promise.

Cheers,

Mark 

August 2025 Update! Seventh update of the year!
11 months ago – Sun, Aug 31, 2025 at 01:12:19 PM

Eyo all!

It's time for the August updates! It’s a bit mixed, but I wish to keep you all posted as much as I can!

  • Progress: The 5E version PDF is done! All the artwork has been inserted and the final touches are being made. The maps are one thing that is throwing a spanner in the works due to their size, for example. But that puzzle be solved soon. One thing I am debating is making a list of all the backers and putting it in the credits. However, I would need permission from everyone who would like that, so that might need its own survey. The PF1e is not far behind. PF2e is progressing steadily, but is behind due to matters discussed in previous updates. Unfortunately, I cannot give a solid timeline for that version. It's coming, but in fear of more unforeseen circumstances, I am hesitant to pin a date. A preview of the 5E version's style can be found here, as a little peek behind the curtain. If you have any feedback or suggestions, don't hesitate to message or post here!
  • Packages and Sending: So, now for some unfortunate news for our US friends. Package sending services to the USA have been postponed until further clarity is available. I have heard that books probably won't have the rumoured 15% tariff. If that's the case, nothing much will change. I will keep you all in the loop. As soon as I know everything is in order on the law-side of things and the postal services start up again, I'll start shipping finished books to the other side of the pond. 
  • Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!
  • A Show of Thanks and Support: I know the release of the book has been delayed quite a bit due to different circumstances. As an apology for this on my side, I've got a little present for all the people who backed the project. Two one-shots, the PDFs of which can be found here and here. As a bonus, everybody who backed with physical products will also receive these two one-shots as free upgrades. In addition, you can find high-res versions of the maps within the one-shot on https://www.thewanderergames.com. For free, of course. You've been patient, and I wish to show my appreciation for that. Again, my apologies for the delays.
  • The MainQuest: For our Dutch/European (or worldwide if you're really commited) ttrpg fans, we've got nice treat. In two weeks (13-14th of September), MainQuestCon will have its first iteration in Rijswijk, The Netherlands. It is a fully TTRPG-focused con, with a nice unique side to it: there'll be a 'Main Quest'. Guests can follow the quest to get free goodies, interact with unique NPCs and defeat the BBEG at the end. The opening ceremony will be held by yours truly! If you feel like giving us a visit, use code WIJSHEID to get a couple euros discount. Tell 'em I sent you. 

This is all the news I've got so far. I'll keep in touch!

Cheers,

Mark 

July 2025 Update! Sixth update of the year!
12 months ago – Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 02:30:51 AM

Eyo all!

It's time for the July updates! It’s a shorter one, but one with lots of good news!

  • Progress: Let’s start with some good news. The DnD5e version’s editing is done! It’s fully in Indesign now, all pretty and sparkly. The only things missing now are some of the maps that need tweaking (due to the fontsize, mostly) and inserting some of the pictures. However, here is the bummer, I won’t be able to make the July deadline I originally promised. It’s probably going to spill over into August, when I’ve got the time to really put the finishing flourishes on things. As said before, I prefer to take more time than to deliver an unfinished product to all of you who helped.
  • PF2E has progress! I’m currently talking with two PF2E creatives, one of which even knows the class from almost a decade ago when I first posted it! So I’m very hyped for that. There’s progress and we can finally get things rolling. Thank you for those who contacted me about this too, and sorry if I didn’t get back to you. There was a lot of interest to help out. Couldn’t be happier.
  • Artwork: More good news! The Jyit is done! Tall nomadic people with thick skin and flaps on their shoulders to regulate their body heat. This is the final piece of the Lugon species puzzle, and every species/race will have a piece of artwork now!
  • Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!
  • Novels: A thing that has been going on on the side is the novels. The publisher is very enthusiastic about the draft, and it’s likely to be published in August/September. These months are going to be grand! Have a look at this epic cover! This story takes entirely within the Lugon setting, using all the neat building blocks within the Player Codex, amongst other, more hidden, pieces of lore. 

When the PDF is entirely finished, I'll contact of you immediately! Hope you all have a great summer, and I'll be in touch. 

Cheers,

Mark
