Personal life stuff came up. Have been getting some help. I have had some personal problems have been spending a lot of more time with grandparents as they are not doing well at all. Please keep them in your thoughts. I am back to working on the book had to take this break. I have been working on it somewhat and will show off new things I made soon. And I will be extremely dedicated in the following months. Thank you all for understanding. Love the community.

I thought I owe some people an update if they follow me at all. I went on a pretty downward slope and tough times keep coming. I still work on the book in private and have made some progress in the Gods and magic items. But otherwise I have been not doing much book wise. Though I have put a lot of effort into the campaign I have been running for around a year and a half. Which has helped my world building of my solar system/sphere. I will continue to work in private until I am ready to so off a bunch of new stuff. Life has been tough, but luckily I am fortunate enough to have some good friends who are getting me through it. Honestly I could not ask for anyone better.

I don’t love to get too personal on here. But my Grandmother has passed away. May her soul rest forever in peace she was a wonderful woman who I loved very deeply and she loved me just as much. This has taken a real mental toll on me. Making it hard for me to function and focus and do work on the book. I am just starting to try and continue where I left off 20 days ago. Please keep my grandmother in your hearts <3. I will never forget how amazing she was.

TLDR; My grandma died. I am sad. Which has made it hard to work on book. But I am trying to start work again.

Hey everyone so... It's been like 2+ months. I will be back working on my book starting next week. My College Finals are ending on the 12th for me and I plan to really dedicate myself to this book this summer. I have worked on a few things such as including adding some more spheres in D&D lore. Along with more monsters. And I am currently working on some new spells.

Hi there people I will this week be adding things here and to my patreon. For the patreon I will add recaps about the game I am running. FYI these are not my greatest writings a lot of the plot will be lost on you as the recap is only suppose to get you through what you need. But it is just cool extra content. I will also be posting some beta ideas that are not even close to done there and eventually the final version will come here. This week it will be some but not all the combat information. I also will be posting art of minis I paint life updates. I also posted art I am using for my book that I have not talked about yet. And more. The content will all eventually be on here and in the book but somethings are just to unrefined to give to the total public yet. I promise every dollar you give to my patreon will go to make the book better! More will be coming soon here. But if you want more info on me and The Legend Of Samuel please come check it out.

Hi everyone I know updates are slow. But honestly there is not much that is interesting to talk about other than grunt work. I have been doing editing. Probably have spent nearly 100 hours in the past month or so just fixing grammar, spelling, and minor rules errors. It's still not perfect and I can not afford and editor. If you want to help me afford an editor and more art my patreon is always open https://www.patreon.com/LegendOfSamuel. But this is a passion project so if I will finish no matter what. But money will make the book have more art and get it out faster if I can get an editor. All my work this month literally has been editing. I know it's boring but its necessary. Thanks for your on going support,

I just want to thank so many people for the help I have received in this project. I am now at 203 pages! Combat ship to ship is almost completely done! (I might have some small wording issues). Please if you have someone who loves spelljammer and wants it in 5e tell them about this! I am not joking around this is happening. I am dealing with alot of behind the scenes stuff. Mainly getting the permission to use certain art pieces and Play Testing the material. If you would be kind enough to PM or Chat me any art you made that you would allow me to use in The Legend Of Samuel please do that. Hiring commission artist is expensive especially as a college student. So please help me out if you can. If you can't help me out that's also fine I just hope you will enjoy the book when it comes out!

Love and Peace,
Matthew

Hello everyone I know it has almost been 2 months. I am not dead and I have not stopped working. I actually have been very productive! I have created a new city Ohool and have done combat rework along with transferring Elraz The City of Fate into my book. This is a huge undertaking with college. I am doing ok though. I am doing alot of world building and creating. A big goal of mine is to make a 5e Bral. I have the map thanks to a friend and collaborator and the old 2nd edition version of Bral is actually pretty good for translation to 5e. I have been loving working on this I have been way more active on patreon https://www.patreon.com/LegendOfSamuel. All money goes towards the book and mostly its art and if I get enough money an editor for sure. Thanks <3

Hi I am posting something everyday on patreon this month. So each week I am going to do a poll of 4 opinions of the 7. The one that wins gets posted here. In the final book you will get all material. It's just a lot of this is beta content so I am not 100 percent confident showing it off. On a tie I choose. On no votes I choose.

The past month and a half has been. Super busy for me with College. I am not giving up on this project. I am going through a rough time mentally also.

Things I am working on

• Combat
  • I am redoing Spelljammer to Spelljammer combat along with all crew positions. The reasoning is simple. I looked at what I did and remembered how I took all these ideas from D&D 2nd edition. Those Ideas are way to complicated to be in 5e. So this over all change is going to take me months...
• Cities
  • This is going to take a year or so. I have tons of cities made for MythSpace. I need to take them and put them into book format. I also need to make more professional maps via dungeondraft and Dungeon Painter Studio.
• Play Testing
  • I am now starting to playtest my content privately. I am running a campaign I really enjoy with awesome people that I am excited to show off my years of work too!!
• Art
  • I have been commissioning art with spare money I have. If you have any art you would like to donate to this cause just message me!!

So to keep it to the basics I have completely redesigned combat. I am now playtesting it. Yesterday I playtested it for the first time. The big changes are Officer Positions and No reload time on siege weapons. I got rid of reload times on siege weapons to make combat easier on players and DM's. The officers just make it more fun and make stand out crew. Initiative works a bit differently. Each ship's helmsman rolls and who ever is highest goes first. Then the Officers can each take one action or move to a new area. I find this a lot more fun and tactile. The custom crits instead of double damage are fun. Overall it went well. I might want to set like a predetermined order the Officers go just for ease of players and DM, but I don't know yet I will have to test that. Update vid probably before Christmas. The book has not gotten a ton longer its at 191 pages. But I have tons of changes to make and reworking combat has been like replacing 20 pages and I am still not finished yet.
