Hi folks! Getting out of the google web environment has been one of our goals for a while and now that our big projects made in google docs are published and our next ones are still early enough that switching them over won’t break anything, it seems like a good time to make a start.
So we’re switching to Cryptpad. I won’t call this an informed choice exactly, though I’ve been using it for a while - I know there are other alternatives out there we haven’t tested. But it’s a start and sometimes that’s better than dithering while you try to find the perfect option.
So where can you find out ongoing projects?
The FA! Game Manual V2 To-Do List, which tracks all the changes we plan to make for the eventual second version of FA!'s main manual, can be found here. This is where we track everything from spelling and grammar mistakes to big rewrites to lore and game mechanics.

The Fully Automated Adversary Appendix is a rough list of enemies from previous campaigns and a start at drafting some generic/example ones. FA! doesn’t require a Monster Manual the way some TRRPGs do, but we did find that new GMs (including me) were looking to previous campaigns to balance encounters, so Andrew and I figured we might as well centralize that information. You can find it here:

The Campaign Template is a mostly blanked-out version of the original campaign docs I set up back when I was starting Buried Treasure. It’s meant to make it easier to start drafting your own campaign. It was actually one of the first things I moved to Cryptpad back when I was testing it out:

The New Early-Timeline Revolutionary Module/Game, working title Semi-Automated is a project we’ve just started. We’ve been talking a lot about adventures we could set earlier in Fully Automated’s timeline, when society is in a sort of messy cyberpunk/solarpunk flux, balanced between revolution/recovery and disaster:

I’ll edit this post as we move other projects over. There are a couple other modules and some in-progress adventures in development which could probably work fine in Cryptpad, though I’ll need to make sure with the folks working on them.
