Norvik Election Day Celebration
The first ever election in Norvikian history takes place on March 26th, 27 P.W. Five days earlier, something truly esoteric happens. Just a few minutes past noon, on the 21st, a fire erupts on Pillar Road, right at the heart of the city.
Hello again! Chris here, back with another quick update on development. In short: it's going WELL.
[h3]The Second Draft Demo has been downloaded over 16 000 times![/h3]
It's mind-blowing to see, but there have been THOUSANDS of clerics running around a small piece of Tolstad these last few months, causing all kinds of trouble. Here's three fun facts about your choices in the DEMO:
One of these fun facts is false. I made it up. Guess which one.
[h3]The Discord is close to reaching 500 members![/h3]
The community is growing way beyond what I expected. We've got some amazing fan-art, a bunch of great discussions, and a ton of helpful bug reports and suggestions. I'm very grateful! Join here!

I'm also happy to announce we'll be taking part in #TurnBasedThursdayFest! Back for the second time on April 4th, EBB will be side by side with a ton of great games that I can't way to try!
[h3]An Adventure in the Making[/h3]
Beyond that, I don't have too much to report right now. We're working hard to bring the world of JOR alive, and make Esoteric Ebb an incredible TTRPG-like experience, where you get to be the worst, most annoying player imaginable. It's gonna be great.
I'll leave you with a fun tidbit.
Esoteric Ebb takes place in a setting called JOR. I've gotten a lot of questions about all kinds of world lore and info that people ask about after finishing the demo, and one thing that's come up is the fact that the game takes place in March. Many question why I use the Gregorian calendar in such a otherwise strange fantasy setting, and the answer is: I don't. The following is an excerpt out of A Freestrider's Guide to Askan, by esteemed chronicler Prince Meriadoc Moonwatch:
As you can clearly see, EBB uses a regularly confusing fantasy calendar with a bunch of hard to pronounce nouns for its months, that also change depending on various factors within its constantly warping and hard-to-track time zones.
Except the third month of the year, which is just March. Thank you for your time.

It's mind-blowing to see, but there have been THOUSANDS of clerics running around a small piece of Tolstad these last few months, causing all kinds of trouble. Here's three fun facts about your choices in the DEMO:
- The most common character build was by FAR - STR: 15, DEX: 6, CON: 6, INT: 15, WIS: 6, CHA: 15.
- Dexterity was overall the lowest stat chosen, at an average of 10.24. Then it was Strength at 10.35, Constitution at 10.62, Intelligence at 11.01, Charisma at 11.42, and finally Wisdom was highest at 11.65.
- Over 94.8% of clerics chose to NOT flirt with the evil and cunning Agent Viira.
One of these fun facts is false. I made it up. Guess which one.
