Firstly some additional cool artists who are in the next version. All of them were a pleasure to work with and you should check them out:
There is also an updated version of the Toolkit available. The focus is still the same, but it has jumped to over 250 pages and 41k words. You are not going to see anything radically different in terms of content, just more worlds and techniques you can use, and lots more art to make it look nice.
I'm calling this version 'Almost Final', because the only further changes I expect are just to edit a few typos, add the alt-text, and adjust any of the art or layout that doesn't work when I do a test print. So you can read this new version without worrying you'll need to re-read 'Final' version when it comes in a few months. The 'Final' will still be a free PDF and also an at cost print version. I'm still mulling softcover versus hardcover for the 'Final', so if you want a physical let me know in the comments if you have a preference.
If you see typos drop them in the chat below with the page number. I don't care about making Named popular, but keen for the small niche of people who dig this type of toolkit to find it, so if you like it give it a rating.
Listened to Diogo Nogueira's Weird Games and Weirder People Podcast and heard Huffa talking about their upcoming book which is a different take on the long-form toolkit approach I've used for Named. You can check out an earlier approach called Between the Skies for free on itch and follow them for updates.
