S17 Comic Books & Chronicles is the official blog of September17 Productions and will cover the comic book universe featured in the titles New Guard, LEGACY, the Sentries and more, while the Chronicles covers the in-progress 5th Edition D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) compatible Campaign Setting Guidebook and Player's Handbook that has been slowly being developed the past 9 years.
If you somehow found yourself here and don't know anything about September17 Productions or myself, Andrew Lorenz, might I suggest checking out our website? A quick summary- I'm a Canadian writer and publisher who just over 9 years ago switched focus from publishing comic books to running and developing a fantasy tabletop role-playing game setting known as the Chronicles of Zaman.
Partly that was due to finances (publishing comic books is EXPENSIVE and the Canadian dollar really took a nosedive the last decade) and part was finally having the chance to dive into TTRPGS! Online streaming shows such as Critical Role and Dimension 20 (and my favorites High Rollers and the Dungeon Dudes) made games like D&D easier than ever to learn for those that knew nothing about them and for folks like myself, it made twisting their arms much more possible! And it has been a BLAST.
I've been fortunate enough to talk nearly THREE DOZEN different folks intro trying it out and nearly half of which I run games for regularly- 3 have even been kind enough to take on the mantle of Dungeon Master and run games for ME! But I digress.
This blog will cover things that aren't necessarily suited for being on the S17 website but it will be linked so that folks can find their way here, or to the Patreon, should they wish to check that out.
So what DOES this blog cover then? In theory there will be a little bit of a crossover with the Patreon but this will mainly be focused on what projects I am working on- comic book scripts, short fiction and the Chronicles of Zaman Player's Handbook and Campaign Setting Guidebook. These posts may be quick updates or stream of thought development logs whereas the Patreon will be more focused on stuff like original short fiction in either the S17 Comics Universe of the Chronicles of Zaman setting, reviews, script to page analysis, interviews with creative folks, feature pieces on Cool Nerdy Stuff, as well as some game design stuff for D&D 5th Edition (what some folks call "homebrew").
Lots of places to check out lots of different things that I am writing/making/creating!
Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next time!
