Wish Day Update #1 – Plushies, Bookmarks, and Beta Tweaks

This week’s been all about refining things—fine-tuning the third book in the series, Aether Crest: Divide, and tweaking the Beta version of the Aether Crest JRPG System. It’s that weird limbo where everything’s almost done but not quite ready to let go, so I’m poking at the details like a gremlin with a clipboard.

On the merch side:A plushie of Irum is officially in the works (yes, she’s just as cute as you imagine), and I’m hoping to stock her soon. Axel’s bookmark design is finished and now just needs printing. Fen’s is in progress—he demanded something dramatic, of course, but I’m leaning toward chaotic. Naturally.

What’s Brewing

I’ve been playing with ideas for the website. Maybe a “Choose Your Crest” quiz. Maybe interactive bios. Maybe I make all the characters chibi and call it a day.

Also wondering: should I commission dice sets themed after the main cast?Dangerous thought. Financially reckless. Intriguing.

From You

Someone asked for more pink-haired characters.Someone else wanted plushies.You're getting the plushies.As for the hair—we’ll see. We don’t want to turn this into Neon Crest: Pretty Prism Power Hour. Or… do we?

Question of the Week

If you had to be branded with a Crest—Elemental or Arcana—what would it be?

Let me know. Or don’t. But I’ll assume “Death” if you don’t answer.

I personally would go with Fire, because Red is Best Color. Or Wheel of Fortune, because I could really do with some better luck.

Until next Wish Day,—L
