Howdy folks!

We've got a couple things to talk about this week! Today's build contains the final additions and tweaks for the Lucky Looter Take & Hold character (as long as the underlying systems the character uses, that will support you folks making your own looting characters).

And lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I want to STRONGLY encourage you all to check out an upcoming event that has a HUGE announcement from us, The Creature Feature.
