Hello! Mark Della-Croce, Lore Link Product lead, in your inbox to talk about all the exciting things Lore Link is up to!
Our Twitch channel has been hopping with various exciting streams starring many members of the Lore Link team. Last month we played a thrilling game of Hard Wired Island with the crew stopping a group of hackers from attempting to blackmail the members of a queer community. The crew researched, prepared, conned their way in, and got out with the data…along with causing just a little bit of their traditional mayhem on the way out. Catch the VOD of that game on our YouTube channel here!
The Party split and every part of them managed to cause chaos in their own unique way.
Mike has continued planning out of his long-running Pathfinder 2E Quest for the Frozen Flame campaign. If you want to find out more about how one GM uses Lore Link to plan out encounters and map out a Hex Crawl, make sure to catch these videos. You can find all of his videos on our YouTube channel, as well as all of our other videos!

We also took the time for a couple of fun video game streams. We are continuing through PowerWash Simulator’s Warhammer 40k DLC and having a great time discussing Warhammer lore, miniatures, and prop construction. Mike and I tried out Demeo, an intriguing nostalgia-influenced TTRPG game. It started as a VR experience and has become a more traditional PC game, keeping Mike and I hooked for the entire time. Lastly, we talked to a friend of Lore Link, Thomas Marshall, about his new TTRPG, Djura: The Twilight Age. He stopped by to talk about what makes Djura unique and his experience in designing and playtesting his game. It was a great conversation, and we at Lore Link are looking forward to when it goes into full release!
When designing a TTRPG, playtesting brings new meaning to players derailing your game!
And that’s just what we covered last month. The coming month will see us dive deeper into planning TTRPGs with Lore Link (we’ve got plans to look into Critical Role’s Daggerheart playtest and the recently released, acclaimed The Wildsea TTRPG). We’ll probably also sprinkle in a few surprises and a guest stream or two. If you want to keep up with that, you will need to follow our Twitch Channel to find out when we go live.
If that wasn’t enough excitement, we also took some time to do something IRL: supporting the local charity gaming convention Who’s Yer Con right here in Indianapolis, one of Lore Link’s hometowns! We had a great time playing games, meeting new people, and, of course, showing off Lore Link. We also gave away some neat Time Out chairs for your gaming dice, printed by our resident 3D printing guru, Tony! If you’re one of those who signed up for our newsletter at the convention, welcome aboard!

Speaking of new people joining, we gave away short-term Early Access codes to Who’s Yer Con attendees, and our development team has been delighted with the feedback we’ve received so far! As a reminder, you can always leave us feedback through the Backers Discord or the contact form on our website. We’re interested in all forms of feedback, from things you’re excited about in Lore Link, to things you wish Lore Link had. Next month, the development team hopes to share some exciting new features, so watch this space for that!
If you got this paper at Who’s Yer Con, you can access Lore Link right now! (There was a small printing error.)
Wow, that’s a lot! We’ll have some updates for you next month regarding our upcoming appearance at Origins, so stay tuned! Until then, may April showers force your players to stay indoors long enough to play that session you’ve been planning since January.
