September Release and Ember KS

Added 2024-09-05 15:32:59 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone. First things first, here are the tokens for September. 31 monster tokens.

Secondly and perhaps exciting for some of you is the launch of Embers KS. I have been working on this project for over a year. I was brought onto the project by Andrew and he showed me a sneak peek of what they had already done. I was amazed at how cool the things they were doing and had already put in place. I of course could not say no when asked if I would provide tokens for the project.

What I did not plan on was the Token Builder, the idea came from a talk that we had at Gencon last year after about 6 months of making normal tokens. He thought he could build an app that would take all the pieces I have made over the years and with some new formatting make an in app character builder. I was excited by the idea and figured I would have many months to think about it. Instead I had 1 month. Then he asked me to pop into the test server where he showed off a rough but already functioning token builder from parts I had quickly provided. Once again I was amazed at how quickly he made something that had a ton of potential.

Since last October I have been spending time weekly to create content for the token builder. It took several months to work through various hurdles about coloring them, rendering them and then the part that I struggled with the most the behind the scenes work that had to be done for the various parts. It's been worth it, and it's still early in the process.

I'm sure at some point I will do a deep dive into the process but for now if you want to see how it in action head over the Ember KS and check out all the beautiful work they have done.
