Firstly, I want to apologize for my lack of communication these past few months. It's been a busy convention season, and some unexpected complications(like a move, among other things) have delayed progress in ways I hadn't expected.
As far as progress, here is where we're at:
The book is mostly complete, and we're just waiting on writing to be completed for a few more scenarios, as well as to complete the "Solo Play" and "Map-Making 101" section of the book.
The scenarios are being finished by my wonderful collaborators, and will be included soon in the book.
Layout is complete on all of the completed chapters(How to Play, The Vast, Fundamentals of Roleplaying, The Quill RPG System, Creating a Character, etc.)
I'm currently finishing writing on the Solo Play section, and am excited to share it with you all!
Dice Have Arrived!!
After eagerly waiting, the Quill and Wayfinder Exploration Dice have arrived! Here they are:
Playtesting Update!
Playtesting has finalized, and the final version of the book is being buttoned up.
Thank you to all of you who provided feedback during this phase, and who had the chance to give your honest thoughts to me both on the server and in private. It has truly helped us to fine-tune this book into what it is now. Anyone who contributed to the playtesting will be credited as such in the final book.
New Art
With the addition of some truly wonderful artists, I'd love to share some of their incredible work!
What's On the Horizon?
This week, I will be finishing up the Bestiary and Solo Play sections and will be releasing Wayfinder V0.4 on my Discord to all backers.
After that, final layout will finish up on the last few chapters, and we'll be off to printing! I have a goal of hitting the big red 'print' button in January. That should take a few weeks before they are shipped to the states. I estimate that fulfillment will complete in March, which does put us a few months behind schedule, unfortunately, but you will be getting your pledges soon!
Thank you for you support, and I'm excited to get this book in all of your hands!
First, I want to apologize for the delay in my communication here. It's been a hectic and busy few months, but I've finally caught up and we're on track for some amazing things for Wayfinder!
Surveys
Let's start by talking about Surveys. They should be heading out in the next few days!! I know this has been a long time coming, and I'm truly sorry for that. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty with trade and a lot of factors weighing heavily on my business at the moment, I had to prioritize the health of my finances before I committed to any additional spending on a surprise that I'll talk about later. And thankfully, due to some very successful wrangling on my part, I was able to bring down costs a bit on some key elements of Wayfinder, and have found enough funds myself to be able to provide a special addon. I'll talk more about that in a moment.
Booklet Sneak Peek
Available to everyone participating in the Playtest(see below for information) is the Beta Version PDF of Wayfinder: The Roleplaying Game. I'm so excited to have this out in the open for feedback from you all. Here is is a sneak peek at what is in store for playtesters, and for all backers once the book finally releases!
Playtesting
The Alpha internal playtests were a roaring success, and I've been able to finish the layout and writing for the Beta version. This means that you all will be able to participate in the Beta playtest, if you'd like!
Once you fill out that form, you'll be able to join our Discord server here and request access to the Playtest Materials here: https://discord.gg/gWmjm4KySb
Once you're given access through Discord, you'll have everything you need to start playing Wayfinder! Any and all feedback is crucial during this time. While we've fine tuned a lot over the past few months, even more feedback is needed to make sure this game is the best it can be! Thank you all for your consideration here, and I'm so excited to hear your thoughts!!
SURPRISE NEW ADDON (INCLUDED IN ALL LEGEND TIER ORDERS)
As I eluded to earlier, I've been able to reallign some finances on my end to make something truly special happen. That is, I am now offering a NEW ADDON that will be available to all backers!! THIS IS ALREADY ADDED TO ANY LEGEND TIER ORDERS AUTOMATICALLY AND FREE OF CHARGE!!
You can choose to add this Addon to your order through your Survey! It costs $20 to upgrade to the Leather Edition book for Wayfinder(IF you already have a physical copy of Wayfinder purchased). Which is truly a steal, since the final price will be somewhere around $55-$60 for the Leatherbound Edition.
I'm so excited I was able to make this happen, and I'm SOO excited to see these on your bookshelves!
Thank you all for everything, and for making this campaign such a huge success. Until next time,
