Release Date and Foundry Integration

The end is in sight!

It's been a while since the last update. In that time, I've been working on the foundry module integration, running more playtests, and doing the layout of the PDF.

It's been going well enough that I can happily announce the release date of the PDF: July 10, 2024! That's right, a week from now. I will be releasing the PDF and the associated Foundry integration on that day.

A few words on the foundry integration. The foundry module is and will always be available for free. You will not have to buy the PDF to use it. That said, not every aspect of the document has an associated automation. I have used the basic pf2e system as a guiding principle on how much to automate. There will be macros and automation in the module to make the GM's (and players') life easier, but it won't comprehensively cover every new / variant mechanic introduced in the document.

Additionally, the foundry module will contain some journal entries but will not comprehensively cover all the rules presented in the PDF. I'm giving weight to those particular lists that will be nice to have as a reference in foundry. Unlike with the Conduit project, I do not think it necessary to include most of the text for Heroic Variant in Foundry, since this document is more like an extension to GM Core which itself doesn't show up much in Foundry.

Finally, and importantly, the release version will be for Foundry v11. I'll release an update to v12 by end of July. I'm giving more weight to v11 just because anecdotally every GM I know (myself included) is still on v11 right now.
