While preparing the first ChargeReal sourcebook, Patrons are getting a first look into everything that will be included, giving a chance to help build something to help detail the world and get people involved. So far on the Patreon, these are the posts I&#8217;ve released:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/fortress-in-sky-98885631\">Plan for the Gaming Element of the Shyluz Sourcebook<\/a>: As a counterpart to the original release post, this post covers the elements of the book that will focus on gaming, such as the Patrol Generator or the various platoons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/chargereal-100108512\">ChargeReal Platoons<\/a>: To cover a wide variety of forces, we first must decide how we&#8217;re going to detail them. This post details some of those facts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/shyluz-platoon-101524483\">Shyluz Platoon Overview<\/a>: This post covers the basics of the different Shyluz Platoons (Shyluz Airmobile Infantry, Shyluz Scout Cadre, Shyluz Armoured Infantry and Shyluz Militsiya), setting some of their flavour in preparation before they receive greater detail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/chargereal-441-102328883\">ChargeReal Fiction &#8211; Outpost 441<\/a>: The book is also going to have a set of short stories set in the ChargeReal. This one covers the Shyluz Airmobile Infantry on the southern border, dealing with watching against possible illegal crossing by non-government fighters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/chargereal-and-103766202\">ChargeReal &#8211; Shyluz and Its Neighbours<\/a>: For some greater detail on the situation of the Republic of Shyluz, this post looks outside of the Shyluz border at the three nations surrounding it &#8211; The Tsardom, The Bazi Empire and The Holy State By The Maker As A Promised Land To His Faithful (or Rettung). As well as the current situation, it also suggests how they may appear on your tabletop, be it in opposition or as allies to your Shyluz Forces. (at time of releasing this article, this item is still exclusive to paid Patrons)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As for what is coming up, I&#8217;m currently most of the way through writing the first platoon list for the Shyluz Airmobile that should be going up on the Patreon this week. This is going to be a version 1, both because I&#8217;m missing artwork but also because I want to have a little discussion with the Researchers. After that, as well as the other platoons, I&#8217;ll also be discussing another element &#8211; the mercenary forces that populate the world of the ChargeReal and specific groups that will appear in the Shyluz area. This is an element I&#8217;m especially excited about, mostly because it allows for some weird and wonderful additions to the factions involved.<\/p>\n\n\n              <div class=\"widget widget_patreon_sidebar_site_widget\">                  \t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: center !important;font-size: 18px;margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\">Support  ChargeBlog on Patreon!<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n          <div class=\"cb_p6_patreon_site_widget\" style=\"text-align:center !important;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog?utm_content=site_sidebar_widget&#038;utm_medium=patron_button_and_widgets_plugin&#038;utm_campaign=70909&#038;utm_term=&#038;utm_source=https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/2024\/05\/13\/chargereal-project-1-the-written-word-part-2\/\" aria-label=\"Click to become a patron at Patreon!\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;max-width:200px;width:100%;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/patron-button-and-widgets-by-codebard\/images\/become_a_patron_button.png\" alt=\"Become a patron at Patreon!\"><\/a><\/div>     \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n              <\/div>        \n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in coming along and getting a first glimpse of everything (as well as being included in the final product) then you can join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog\">Patreon<\/a>.
