The Final AFLP Rework Progress Update

Just a quick post to update on AFLP's rework. There's so much done! I've been adding things to it while I make edit passes and have replaced most of the core AFLP ruleset wholesale, such as the Arousal system and all conditions. The next post I make about the rework will be the release, but I expect with the holidays on my heels this might be a January push.

The reworked actions and conditions are all complete, as are all items and item effects. The three starting kinks are all complete, and they're looking fun! Dominants now get the new reaction "Role Reversal" while Submissives get the new reaction "Dubious Consent". Switches get both, but they can't quite reach the extremes that the more specialist kinksters get - critical successes on either action are treated as successes for them. These actions work closely with the core Struggle Snuggle monster action so it will make for a really fun dynamic ability set right from level 1.

I'll continue working through the kinks, spells and monster updates whenever I can, while taking some time with my family over the Christmas period. I hope you have a nice end of year break!

Happy Holidays xx Ardis

AFLP Rework Progress Update

The rework is going well! Still a lot to do, so this major update will likely be published middle of next month, give or take a week depending on how smooth it goes in testing.

Things might change so this isn't final, but here's a little preview of what to expect!

Arousal Points - replaced with Arousal

The complex Arousal Points scaling with max HP are gone. Now, they're based on a small number, which is easy to change up and down with a click on the effect icon.

Strip, Mount, Breed, Ride and Masturbate - removed, replaced with Struggle Snuggle and Sexual Advance

I started this module with just Mount and Breed, and then by version 3.0 the action list had ballooned even for basic actions. In the rework I wanted to boil these actions down to as few as possible, so we ended up with Strip and Mount being reworked into the new Struggle Snuggle, and Breed, Ride and Masturbate turning into the new Sexual Advance. The descriptions allow for a wide variety of body types and genders, so all PCs and Monsters can have the same ability without distinction!

Mounted - removed, replaced with Submitting and Dominating

A core focus of the rework is to introduce control elements to sex with monsters, where the one in control of the sexual encounter has the advantage. I created a new condition called "Mounting", and realised that not only was the name awful, it was needlessly gendered, so I saw the opportunity for further improvement here. Submitting and Dominating are it!

Amorous Activity - removed

This status was just bogging the system down and didn't add much - its only good part was the Afterglow effect when it ended. So I removed it and added Afterglow into the Cum action instead.

Mind Broken - Updated

When I got to reworking Mind Broken, I decided it needed to have a little more interplay - some kind of "fight back" or "resist" element to it, but after a few iterations, it just ended up becoming more complicated. So, I went back to the drawing board and stripped it down to make it cleaner and add clarity on what happens when you undergo a mind break. Then I made the Creature Fetish flat check even more ruthless, both in difficulty and in the scaling of Fetishes gained from multiple-partner gang bangs. Then, I decided to offload the fighting back into something new called...

Defeated - new pre-stage to Mind Broken

Defeated is a really simple way to add an element of "last chance" before a Mind Break. If Mind Broken style bad ends are your character "dead" in a lewd campaign, then Defeated is the new "dying".

So that's all the update news thus far. I'm excited for you to see it! I still have to make a pass at Monster abilities, Feats, Items and Spells, so there's a lot to do yet, but I'm hopeful that over the next 2 weeks I can get at least the bulk of it done. If I can't release it in 2 weeks, I won't ship it half done; if I have to delay release to the end of the month, I'll let you know. I want to make sure that the initial release version of this new update is fully play-ready before I get it into your hot little hands.

To my subscribers: Thank you for subscribing and supporting my work! Your continued support motivates me to keep developing this system and making it even better for you. I couldn't do it without you, truly! xx

Love, Ardis

AFLP rework is in the works

I've been kicking some ideas around in my head lately for a complete overhaul of the Arousal System and the Kink chains, streamlining them to make them much easier and faster to use in play.

Today, I put the ideas to our Discord discussion channel and I got some good feedback! So, I'll look to deploy a working release featuring the first iteration of these changes for Foundry in the coming month or two, depending on how things go in testing. Once the system is tuned and working I'll update the PDF with the new hotness.

Proposed Arousal System changes:

• Arousal Points will be divorced from Hit Points as a basis. They will not scale with level, but instead will be a distinct system. The numbers will all be much smaller and easier to track.
• Max Arousal Points for all characters is reduced to 6, except Dominant characters which have 7.
• All Monsters have 7 Arousal as a base. The Monster Prowess effect now has a counter, which gives a monster +1 maximum Arousal Points per counter.
• Sexual damage increases arousal by 1. Sexual critical damage instead increases arousal by 2.
• Breed and Ride increase arousal by 1 for the 2-action version, or by 2 for the 3-action version.
• The new Horny condition, instead of doing what it does now, it will stack up to 3 counters. You can gain 1 level of Horny from item effects (vibrators, bondage with a kink for it), status effects (aphrodisiacs, spells) or circumstance effects (kinks, fetishes and monster abilities). For each counter of Horny you have, whenever your Arousal increases you gain +1 additional Arousal Points. (Eg: If you're wearing bondage gear and have a kink for it, and you're on aphrodisacs, and the monster has a flared horse cock, when you gain arousal from it Breeding you, you gain 2 Arousal from Breed, and 3 Arousal from Horny 3, for a total of 5)
• Mind Break will also be reworked, as will how it gets triggered, as the dynamic around Breed and Ride will become a case of who is in control (I'll come up with a better name for this). When a creature instigates Amorous Activity, they are In Control of the activity. Whoever is in control will be able to increase the Arousal of their partner(s) in the Amorous Activity by a greater amount on their turn. If you're not in control of the Amorous Actiivty, Breed and Ride actions you do on your turn can only increase your partner's Arousal Points by 1. This way, monsters are likely to be able to have their way with characters, but a savvy character will be able to inflict a control reversal, then incapacitate the enemy with their sexual wiles.

Proposed Kink changes:

• All kinks that appear "later" in a kink chain (ie: they require you to have one or more lower-level kinks) upgrade the base kink instead of adding another kink. This means the number of kinks on a single character at later levels will be severely reduced.
• The new "upgrade" kinks will be easier to process and have more simplified effects, while retaining their core identity and vibe.
• The current kinks will be retired into a Previous Versions folder, as something optional for anyone who still wants to use the old versions
