My first crowdfunder has officially ended! We managed to raise more than 1000 euros, reaching 4 stretch goals. This means funding for 10 bespoke artworks to depict the treasures of the book, and ~33 community copies (essentially, free copies of the product for anyone to grab).

Half of the art pieces have been completed, and I'm currently waiting for the artist to deliver on the last 5. The treasure design is almost completed, and I have started the layout process. While doing layout, I have started creating complications, titles, and projects related to the treasures. I'm doing this to fill up some empty page spots, because I am avoiding splitting up the text of a treasure over more than one page, but also because it's very fun! I now wish I had come up with this idea before the project started, maybe it would have drawn in more people. Oh well!

If all goes according to schedule (but when does it ever?), the art and layout will be completed in the next 30 days. During this time I will also be play testing some of the weirder treasures, and I will keep updating the contents of the book until July ~20th. If the project is complete by then, I will send it out and start agonizing over typos and misaligned text boxes. Business as usual. If the project hasn't been completed by that time, you will sadly have to wait until the end of the summer to get your hands on it, as I won't have access to my computer until the first days of September. I hope it doesn't come to this, but this is my first big project so who knows... In any case, I will keep you all updated. 

If you want to see more behind-the-scenes stuff, come say hello in discord (either the MCDM server, or the Draw Steel Brewery one). Bye for now, and thank you all!
