A lot of different things are cooking either on the back of my mind, in Affinity Publisher or in any state between these two. Let’s do a recap’ of where the Loop ‘n’ Loot system is moving forward to.
As you might already know, prior to the release of the core rulebook via a crowdfunded campaign, there will be:
A quick start rule reference booklet

A free complete dungeon

A free setting to kickstart your own adventures

After the campaign (and what I hope to be a swift fulfillment), there will be more crowdfunded adventures for the upcoming books. Which are:
A procedurally generated mega dungeon! Above 50 rooms, I personally consider the dungeon to be “mega” (there will be 53 rooms). It is usually the set-up dungeon I use in conventions, so the dungeon has been thoroughly tested for 2 years now. I'll talked more extensively about it in 2025, but imagine yourself running through a tomb turned as a lootable museum by greedy undead and you get the picture :).

A dungeon generator procedure based on the eastern way of writing story structure which are less about conflicts and more about people existing in a world (think of any Ghibli movie you have watched). The book is partly a research project with another teacher colleague. The colleague in question is a 5E advocate, so we are looking at a solution that would work for multiple systems.

This is the next big solo thing after the Museum of the 4 Queens. And even if the book is not planned before 2026, I’m already starting the playtests. The book is designed to be the “Forgotten Realms” of Loop ‘n’ Loot I dare use the analogy. The first book will be focusing on 1 island in world, more books for more islands later :)

I started to work on a miniature game a couple of years ago when my favorite game (Guild Ball) died. I had a prototype, playtesting a bit but something was off. So I scrapped everything and started again last week as I was on holiday. The new direction is very exciting but I need to pace myself because the core rulebook’s crowdfunded campaign must be my main focus. But yeah, miniature game incoming!

That is already A LOT! But, Loop ‘n’ Loot has been designed to be supported for a very long time. It is not a one-shot book, I am not going to design systems after systems, there is Loop ‘n’ Loot core rulebook and then there are supplements of the systems!
