The Adventurous Psion is now published by Midnight Moth Publications, and available for purchase on DriveThru RPG. I began work on it on as I was traveling on May 27th, within the scope of the Gemini New Moon, and finished up design, illustrations, and layout, and submitted The Adventurous Psion to DriveThru RPG on the late night / early morning of the Sagittarius Full Moon of June 11th / 12th.
Prior to this, I had conceived of presenting my take on the iconic psionic Player Character class, but had creatively stalled out in my attempts at working it up. For some reason, as I was engaged with making my way to Flagstaff, Arizona for the first time (and contending with the frankly awful reality of American air travel), I was inspired to make another go of it.
Strangely, I discovered that Wizards of the Coast, who publish Dungeons & Dragons, released an Unearthed Arcana on May 27th, featuring a playtest version of the Psion. I felt momentarily discouraged, but, feeling the odd and truly psychic nature of the coincidence of my decision to design my Psion the very day they released their playtest Psion, I resolved to go ahead and complete my version of the preeminent psionic controller Player Character class.
To be honest, I did look at their version, but find their playtest design of the class to be too crunchy and complicated for my taste, and really not at all like my version of the class. I intend to write up a design comparison in a follow-up to this post, so keep your eyes open and on this space in the blog-o-sphere, and your brains peeled for it when I do.
NB: If any TTRPG reviewers are interested in receiving a complimentary review copy of my Psion, please contact me here.
Om Shanti. đź––
