Hello adventurers, acolytes & all others! I'm sorry there hasn't been an update in a while, although enjoying the completely accidental energy of the last one being on spring equinox and this coming to you in vaguely midsummer.

Anyway, the headline of this update is that I am running behind schedule by about a month. The main reasons for this are life/health related – doing the writing and project management around my job, home life, and depression/ADHD  has just been slower than I hoped – although my computer did also recently try to set itself on fire which added some spice to the mix. That's been fixed now at least!

My plan is now to get the complete version of Tending live, and physical copies mailed out, at the end of August rather than the end of July. I'm really sorry to keep you all waiting, and continue to be so grateful for your patience and support. In the meantime, I wanted to share some d6 tables from the game, which offer a little preview of the expanded game but also can be used independently if you have any weird shrine, plant, or manuscript generation needs. Two of these I've shared on twitter before, but the manuscript one is new!

I promise that the next update will be up much sooner than the autumn equinox, and will contain a very exciting guest contributor line-up as well as some art previews.

As a final nice piece of news, I wanted to confirm that I've sent over the funds raised for the Wolves Lane Meal Project as part of Tending's itchfunding campaign, which came to £330 in the end. This has gone straight into providing free hot meals for vulnerable people in my local area, made from community-grown produce. Huge thanks to everyone who got the campaign over the £500 mark and continued to contribute – you all made this happen <3
