Project Update: From the Book Mines 20: The OGA Book Is Done
Good Backers,
It is my great pleasure to present you a small gift for your patience on this Saint Sylvester's Day, this Eve of the Novel Year, to whit—the editor-ready PDF* of Our Golden Age.
- 260 pages (for now)
- 250 graphics and pieces of art (for now)
- a few words
- an idea or two less than originally intended**
Scroll to the Backer-only section for the download link right now.
*Editor-Ready PDF
To be clear, this is not the print-ready version. Brandes (the editor) will now review the text, hunt down errors, skewer confusions, and more. With that the priority, this PDF:
- does not include all the final spot art
- may see some pages rearranged before the end
- may see a spread added or removed to make the correct page count (I suspect I might have space for an extra spread at the end, but if the index needs an extra page I'll find something else)
- does not include final page numbers, cross-references, and some navigation aids
- certainly includes weird typos and [errors]
- does not include all the final maps—the labels are a separate linked PDF file which I will update once I have finalized the map completely (adding some locations from the OGA, revising some symbols, adding more roads and travel connexions)
**Cut Content
Two big chapters, totaling about 40 pages, did not make the cut:
- the noösphere, including rules for navigating there and modifying characters translated into that liminal space
- the near and far void, including rules for travelling on voidships
I'll try to get these into zine form, but that's an issue for later.
***Previews
Now, for a little bit of showing and tell.

That's All For This Year Folks!
Between the OGA and the VLG we've gone and finished* 432 delectable ttrpg pages for your enjoyment this year. I can say without a doubt, that's all folks [for this year]! Together with the UVG, the Polychrome Trilogy aka. the Vastlands Collection (we should vote on the name) stretches to over 600 pages. Whew!
*see above
I'm now going to take a couple of weeks' sabbatical from this project. Take care, enjoy the last day of the year, have a wonderful and happy New Year, and see you in January!
—Luka,
