Some Updates
I've been working hard over the past several weeks to get things prepped and ready to go, and I'm finally ready to talk about what I've been working on!
Patreon and Early-Access Content
Firstly, and probably most importantly, I've set up a Patreon! Worry not; exclusive content is not one of the benefits I offer, instead opting for early access content. Anything I post to Patreon will be made publicly available shortly thereafter, both on Patreon itself as well as in the new Projects channels in my Discord! No one should feel obligated to become a patron; if you have the cash to spare and want to support me and/or be able to see what I'm working on a little bit earlier than everyone else, that's when I would say becoming a patron is appropriate for you.

D&D Origins: Modularized
While the version of D&D Origins that's available on Modrinth is my pride and joy, the format I made it in doesn't allow much room for expansion; in its current form, its nearly 1,000 files make it rather resource-intensive, and I want to rectify that. This is why I plan on posting a modular version of the pack -- that is to say, a version where each race and each class are posted separately from each other, but will still work in conjunction with each other when combined. This allows for players to pick and choose the specific races and classes they want to be made available, whether for a single-player experience or a multi-player server. Additionally, this will allow me to create more content for the pack that can be very easily integrated with the existing material.
The first three race and class modules, as well as the Human and Commoner modules, have been posted to my Patreon and will be made publicly available in the #dnd-origins-modularized channel of my Discord one week from today. Thereafter, a race and class module will be posted on a bi-weekly basis, with Pokedex: Origins packs being posted on the off-weeks, and made available to the public one week after the initial posting.
Pokedex: Origins
Pokedex: Origins is, at least for now, in a state where I feel comfortable posting it! I still need to collect a handful of assets before I can post the companion mod to Modrinth, but I'm comfortable posting the individual evolutionary lines -- first to Patreon, and then to the #pokedex-origins channel in my Discord. The plan for now is to post the Generation I starters, followed by the evolutionary lines I created for playtesters, and then going in dex order. Patrons will have the ability to request specific 'mons be moved to the front of the queue, but everything will get made eventually. As mentioned above, I plan to post one evolutionary line on a bi-weekly basis, alternating with my D&D Origins: Modularized content.
