Dear Goldenagers,

Another technical update, which - to be fair - isn't bad. Last week I finished reviewing all the edits. All the way, to the last page, and the 1077th comment. Here is where it was at:

At the same time as I was editing the book, I also found quite a few strange concepts, creatures, and places needed to join the Lexicon of the Vastlands. The UVG had a moderately sized glossary, but it has since (and over some books) grown to the extent that it wouldn't fit in the OGA and scattering the glossaries over multiple books feels ... messy. So I've put the whole thing into its own file. I've attached the latest version for the interested.

This last week has been a bit more scattered, with many holidays, so I've focused on some less visible tasks: updating my database of documents and files, clearing up some admin, and reviewing the map of the circle sea. I suppose I have also been putting off tackling the index a little bit. Building indices is never among my favorite tasks, hah hah hah.

Anyway, revised next few steps:
1) the final final FINAL map - and updating it within the book. I need to go through the book and check which locations are already in the map, which need to be added, which don't ... and I'm also reviewing a few of the icons on the map. Oh, and it will need a legend. And a pretty border.
2) make the final proofready PDF - that's going to be a big deal. A 300dpi version, ready for printing.
3) the referee screen - this one will assemble tables from the VLG and OGA, and I need to do the final art. That'll probably be a few days of drawing.
4) reference cards - to match the referee screen!
5) the adventurers' notebook - putting it together for your adventuring delectation
6) final cover art and box art - this will be a big step.
7) layout on the two zines - this will be the last thing.

Sooo ... looks like we're down to less then 10 updates from my end remaining!

I hope you'll miss my dulcet keyboard strokes in your inbocces :P

Cheers,
Luka
