Apologies for the long-overdue nature of this update; I realize it's been a very long time since I've posted a formal State of the Realm. Life has been busy, and my day job has been insanely busy, but that's an explanation, not an excuse; backers deserve better, and I will strive to maintain a more regular communication and visibility in the future.
Now, then, to business: please find our Q3 2023 State of the Realm update here.
http://infiniumgamestudio.com/2023
Short version: We've published a bunch so far in 2023, and right now my full attention is on Gauntlets & Gaslight, the next in line of Kickstarter project commitments. Following that will be Artifacts & Artifice 3.
I will continue to work on and deliver all of the outstanding kickstarter commitments as quickly as possible, and appreciate your continued patience.
Many of you have reached out to reassure me that you are thrilled with what you've received, and though you're of course eager to get everything else you're entitled to, you're comfortable waiting if it means quality and sanity. While I have no expectation that this sentiment applies to everyone reading this, I very much appreciate the thought. No matter what your level of frustration or eagerness, I will still deliver, and hope that you agree that the wait was worthwhile.
As ever, then: Onward!
State of the Realm: Q3 2022 & FREE STUFF for waiting!

Greetings all! Please find our IGS Q3 State of the Realm update on our website here.
In short, we continue to produce a ton of awesome stuff, and will continue to do so. And it's all thanks to you. If you're reading this, you help make it happen, and I can't thank you enough.
Speaking of thanks...
...Free Stuff!
Of particular note is our new "KS Freebie" policy. This will go into effect next week: sit tight and wait for the free stuff to roll in! And it'll keep rolling in, until I catch up with everything I owe you. :)
TL;DR: Still waiting? Get free stuff!
It’s no secret that I’m terrible at estimating things. Many projects have taken LOTS longer to complete and deliver than anticipated. That’s the bad news.
The good news—as you know if you’ve read what has been produced—is that along the way, these projects grow. Much more is delivered than is promised, each and every time so far.
Sometimes, things don’t fit in a single book. Other times, it’s a very slight derailment to finish up something extra that fits in well with what the main focus is.
Regardless of its nature, these “extras” form some of the most successful stuff we publish, with the best feedback.
And now: you get it free. If you’ve been waiting.
How Does This Work?
If you are still owed one or more books that haven’t been published, and/or if you are still waiting for hardcopy fulfillment of one or more books that has been published, but not hardcopy-fulfilled, you qualify.
How Do I Get the Free Stuff?
You don’t have to lift a finger: I’ll send it to you for free, automatically, via DriveThruRPG.
What Stuff is Free?
It’s the “extras” that extend, but were not formally part of, a Kickstarter. Thus far, this includes the following:
- FlexTale Environmental Encounters
- Infinite Adventures (volumes 1, 2, and Darkhalls)
- Western Realm Atlas
- Watchspire
Onward!

I'm proud to share the Q2 2022 Infinium Game Studio State of the Realm Update.

But I'm proud to report that we've published a metric ton of content, are in the process of fulfilling backlogs of hardcopies to patient Kickstarter backers, and are poised to deliver another few tons of content this year.
Once again, thank you for your support, kind feedback, and patience as I continue to deliver as much as I can, as quickly as I can, with as high a quality as I can. I could not do this without you.
Onward!

State of the Realm
A bit late, I'll be the first to admit, but you can check out all of the details here.
It's late mainly because I really wanted to finish the FlexTale Encounter Generator Solo Adventuring Toolkit before I shared the broader status of things, and that massive book released today, so huzzah!
If you're entitled to that book, check your inbox for a free copy notification from DriveThruRPG.
Up Next
The Western Realm Gazetteer is next in the pipeline. With the massive amount of work I've already finished on it, I should be able to finish that by the end of the year.
Beyond that will be Artifacts & Artifice 3, and Gauntlets & Gaslight.
My thanks again to all of those eagerly awaiting these, and other products in the pipeline! Hang in there!
Thank You
As always: thank you, for making what I do possible, and for all of the patience, wonderful feedback, and stories of enjoying the stuff we put out.
2021 has been an incredibly challenging, stressful, and chaotic year for many, and certainly for my family, but I'm thrilled that I've still been able to complete and publish some of our most useful, most successful, and best-received books ever.
Many of you have asked what you can do to help support our family's battle with cancer. While it won't solve anyone's problems, it might feel good to check out our "F&%$ Cancer 2021 Charity" bundle. It's a massive discount on a ton of our most successful and powerful books.
Stay safe, stay sane.
Onward!
