Fourth Quarter 2009 Tab Update

Fourth Quarter 2009 Tab Update

Posted by Thorin Tabor on Oct. 18, 2009, 5:40 p.m.

It's the last quarter of the year, and time for another Tab Update. It's been a slow quarter for Tab, but there has been some ongoing development. Let me sum it up:

The Trystell Lifepath Module is still being worked on, and progress is still being made. It continues to amaze us how much work is required for a Lifepath system, and since this quarter ought to have a lot more free time open for working on Tab development, we're pretty sure this release will see the light of day this quarter. It's already over 40,000 words and we expect it to be around 50,000 by the time we're done. And that's no small feat.

Earlier this last quarter also saw the establishment of a Tab Creations presence on the social networking sites online, as well as the conclusion of the first The Zeotis playtesting campaign. Both of these showed some promise, and we expect more to continue to be done with The Zeotis once we can finally move the Lifepath Module out of the pipeline.

Finally, look out this quarter for a small supplement to our Trystell: Reborn -- Basics release. This supplement should include a few new traits, such as Language traits, Limit Breaks and Dual-Techs. This material will be bundled with the Basics material and the Lifepath Module to form a Trystell Beta Player's Guide once the Lifepath Module is complete.

It's been a short Tab Update, but c'est la vie. We'll keep you updated.

Tab Creations on Facebook

Since it was discussed at the last Tab meeting that we should leverage social networks to help promote the Collective, we went ahead and made a Facebook page for Tab Creations. Now you can add the page to your Facebook profile, comment on the Collective there and do other social networking stuff. Tab events, such as the con presence we discussed at the last meeting should also be posted there.

Freebie Spotlight: Lifepath Worksheet

I was helping walk a person through a test of the upcoming Trystell Reborn -- Lifepath Module the other day and she said to me, "This would really go a lot smoother if I had a sheet to fill out, to help know where everything went." And that got me thinking; she was right, a sort of work sheet would help lifepath character creation go a lot smoother. So with that in mind, I set out and created the Trystell Reborn: Lifepath Worksheet. And since the Lifepath Module isn't even out yet, this sheet should give you a sneak peek into what sort of things the Lifepath Module has in store.
