Project Update: From the Project Quarry 9 (29): Endpapers Papered

Good Backers!

There's only one thing left to do on the books: a legend for the maps in Our Golden Age. Otherwise, the Endpapers are done, and with that we're in the field of cosmetix.

<<TL;DR?: Skip to the end for the latest PDFs!>>

Doing the Endpapers was, frankly, really hard. I struggled to wrangle the tables into shape, to motivate myself to go through with a fine tooth comb, to pixel-push till the pixels screamed and my eyes turned square and cloudstruck like dying cathode tubes.

But, they do now summarize most of the Vastlands Guidebook and also serve as a visual table of contents / table index.

Behold, front endpapers:

pages I and II


and the rear endpapers:

pages CLXXII and CLXXIII


You may also notice some tweaked tables

look how nicely the table on the right lines up with the page on the left now ...


Not just spot art, I also redid some of the chapter art in the OGA. I'll probably redo 3 more pieces (Yellow Land, Purple Land, Circle Sea section art) to make them more striking.

I added some really addled spot art ...

Look at all the cute souvenirs!


Some of it is also in color. And I also ended up coloring some pieces while procrastinating from doing the endpapers, which was ... oh, god, I struggled to motivate myself to push those pixels.

Look at that pretty little Ere Bunker settlement at bottom left!


All told, if you go through the most recent PDFs (backer-only content section), you'll find about 20 new pieces of spot art or newly colored line art. Yeah, I really struggled to get to work on the endpapers some days.

The proofreaders, typohunters and knights grammarian over on the discord have also been active, catching all manner of strange beasties, from a rare the-the to several exotic missingas.

Can't believe I got an update out on Thursday (Korean Time). Such speed.

Onwards, to the glorious and eternal future that is here and now!
