Project Update: From the Book Mines 20: The OGA Book Is Done

On Saint Sylvester's Day, Around 03:00 in the Morning.


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.



So much contained within.


The last chapter.


An Interruption Generator for background events.


The Nexus Grid to run weird conspiracies, ongoing background events, and odd connexions between sessions.


The two meta-factions. Not-law and not-chaos.


Terminal Locations.


Terminus.


The Back Cover.



260 + 172 = 432


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

Ho Ho Ho. Some art still waiting to find its final place in the book.


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!
