Marching Forward...
Greetings all, and welcome to the March (2026) update for Roguelike Games!
As mentioned in our January blog, these monthly updates will now primarily focus on progress, highlighting the project's advancement towards completion each month. The goal is to establish an easily trackable roadmap that clearly shows what we are currently working on and where our efforts will be concentrated in the upcoming month.
These progress trackers will be split into The Uncanny Edition Core Rulebook, The Enclave Edition Core Rulebook and The Imperial Encyclopaedia Estania progress.
Furthermore, they will be split into the following categories:
Writing
Proof-reading & Editing
Layout
As noted in the February update, from now on, we will only highlight changes from the previous month. Therefore, this update will focus on the work completed during March.

Roguelike Community
The Moralinth Official Facebook Group is the place to visit for quick and concise updates for those who only want the summarised details of what is happening with Moralinth and is a great place to see the artwork, lore snippets, and updates. We're looking to add more to it so that we can add extra information, but we need your help! What sort of things would you like to see included in the Facebook Group that isn't there already? Feel free to leave comments so we can know what is a priority for everyone, and make sure you tell your friends!
DISCORD:
For a more in-depth and interactive playground for all things Moralinth, you can head over to the Morlainth Official Discord Server. We're looking to foster the community and grow it out, and a few of the messages we've received of late have asked for more ways to interact with the game world, as well as an increase in setting information. We're looking to try and grant both requests simultaneously, so keep an eye on Discord for more information! Feel free to invite anyone who you feel might want to follow the project but please remember they need to verify their account when they first join the server (you need to click the little "tick" to be granted the Uncanny role and gain access to all the Categories, Channels and Events).
Future Plans
Next month we'll be sharing with you our updates on the progress trackers for Moralinth: Uncanny Edition, Moralinth: Enclave Edition, and The Imperial Encyclopaedia Estania through the month of April 2026.
....and that wraps up our update for this month! Feel free to drop us a message or come visit us on our Facebook page or our Discord Group if you'd like! Until our next update,
Happy Gaming!
