Devil of a time.

I'll have it understood from the outset that I will not be dissuaded from, nor will I apologise for, making relentless devil puns. Indulging in diabolical wordplay is one of the many perks of writing something so thoroughly infested with demons. 

Speaking of infestation, that happens to be a new scheme type lightly touched on tonight's latest update. While the updated Fiat Nox GM packet covers how magic, ritual, and magnitude work in the game, as well as some occult history, updated art, and the malum consilium track, a way of picking apart the defenses of powerful arcane foes before striking when they are weak. 

The next update will detail scheme types and hunting grounds, a handful of the Powers and Principalities, Gods and Mortals, and present a few starting situations for fresh cabals, ready to conquer the world. 

I have raised the suggested donation to $5 - some people were kind enough to donate when the game is available for free, and it's made a huge difference this past week. The game is still free; if you can't spare it, or don't want to spend any money, no problem. If you're interested enough in this game to download it and read it, that's a huge reward by itself. I am thankful for every download. As an emerging writer, it's a rush just to connect with a reader through my words. If you've got a couple of bucks spare and you like the work, it's gratefully received. I lost my job at the start of the pandemic and times have been hard; working on this game is one of the ways I've kept myself sane and moving forward through endless rounds of job applications, rejections, and dealing with bureaucrats. This project represents hundreds of hours of work, at this stage. If you like the work and want to support it, thank you. If you like the work, thank you. If you've got ideas, feedback or questions, please feel free to let me know! 

Now on to the next part.
