Since last week I’ve been making improvements to Yog-Dzewa in prep for hopefully releasing beta-5.0 during this week. I'm currently playtesting implementations for the new fists while finalizing the design for Yog itself.

The winner of Patreon Poll #3 is the sentry-style DM-201! After mulling the design over a bit though, I'm uncertain about the mechanic they use to punish ranged attackers, and so I've decided to make a supplementary poll. DM-201...
