Playtest wrap-up
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 11:05:46 AM

Hi All,

I'm going to let the playtest for the core book go though the first two weeks of January so those who want to get final notes in can. Then the proof read and final edit happens, taking all the notes into consideration. We should be starting layout in March. You'll get the final PDF once all that is done. 

Meanwhile, I'm working on the Quest of Rothaen and the Monster Tome PDFs. The Monster Tome will be sent out for play testing as well once it's done.  The map pack is done, I just need to go over them all one last time before sending them out. 

Thank you all very much. I hope you're having a great holiday season!

Hey all!

It's been about two months of play-testing and things are going well. If you have notes you'd like to submit, please send them to [email protected]. I'm looking to wrap play-testing up in December and then put out the final version of the core book in January, Right now I'm working on the Monster Tomb and  the Quest of Rothaen. I hope you are enjoying the play-test PDF! 

Thanks

Wes

The plan!

Hey all,

So Michelle has been editing the book, but unfortunately due to her teaching and going to night classes, she does not have the time she needs to get through the core book as fast as we would like. Here is my plan. I'm going to make a playtest version of the book as it is now and send it out to you. You can play test it, send us your notes and she will continue to edit the pdf with changes as we go along.

This PDF will not be the final version. There will be issues that we will need to fix. But at least this way you have the book and can start playing games with it now. I don't want to make you wait months for a fully edited version. Once we have a final version we will format it, add art and post the POD options. We are also working on the Monster Tome and Quest books. Hamish is writing an adventure now. 

I hate that I'm this late with the book but everything has taken way longer than I thought it would. I will make version .001 of the PDF for you very soon. I will make sure it has bookmarks. It will have minimal art, which we will add later what we get to a final version.  

I'm sorry this has taken so long. I hope you will enjoy the PDF and understand there are going to be mistakes. Let us know about any you find and we will make a list of fixes for the next PDF version. With your help, we can get this done. Expect the PDF within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks

Wes

OK, so the manuscript is still being edited. I hope to have it to you for play testing in August. I'm working on the monster tome and Quest of Rothaen now. Have a great month, try and stay cool and I'll update again in August.
