Quick Update on Starter Adventures

One of the newest pictures I've received.

I think we are in the 7th inning stretch.  I think.  John and Jason from UNDERWORLD INK have been producing some great pictures.  I can't wait to get to the layout phase and see how their pictures, Rob's maps and my text blend together.  Ivy is going over the manuscript now.  When I asked her how the edits were going she said "There aren't too many crappy parts.  We'll talk later."  So I have to look forward to.

The entire manuscript is divided up as such:
16 total scenarios (4 for each class): 9128 word count
Tavern: 2011 word count
Dungeon Crawl: 4526

So the word count as of now is 15,665.  I have to admit I am not all that happy with the tavern right now.  That will be altered before it his print.  So with the addition of pictures and maps it is a fairly good sized project.  I have no idea at this time what the page count will be, I know I will be keeping it under 64, but other than that I gots no idea. 

I plan on releasing this one on PDF and print soft and hard cover.  I just have to have a hardcover version for myself and I plan on getting hardcovers for the guys who've helped.  Like I said it would be a quick update.

But no rest for the wicked.  While I wait for the others to finish their stuff I begin working on my next One-Shot adventure.  I already have the outline for the adventure.  I'm excited about hitting the book store and working on it.

Projects in the Works

I have to blog today because my last blog is no longer true.  At least I beat the water mill for a few hours.  I'm not sure what time frame the sales RPGNow calculates to determine your spot on the list.  I'll post a sales report at the end of the month. 

Right now I am working on the 2nd adventure for the One-Shot Adventure Series, The Mine of Rot and Disease.  It is written, map is done and the general layout is getting there.  I need my wife to edit it and I need to play with a few pieces of art.  I'm working with the price point with this one and it looks like it will come in at $2.50.  It's a straight forward adventure that will be the first in a series of three connected adventures.  Rob did the map again which looks great.

I am also working on a new project with Dwayne.  No real details to tell right now because the project is still in its infancy.  Waiting for Rob to complete his new project which I am sure he will be telling people about soon.  He's on a time crunch so I can get to editing it.  I'm looking forward to seeing what he's done.

Well that is all for now.  I need to get ready for work, but I think tomorrow I start a 4-day weekend.  I think.
