Project Update: Surveys Coming Soon & Voting Time!

Hi Everyone, 


It's been a busy few weeks, I've been finishing writing behind the scenes so that all the extra sections can go into editing. There have been a couple of planning meetings and we've got a good structure going forward. 


  • The notebook cover has been commissioned from Ramona and I've communicated with both Joshua and Alex. 

  • The Wandering Tome Pin is finalised (who knew I could be so picky about a key).

  •  I've designed a few versions of the Book List sheets so it's time to get your votes in on the Backer Only Poll to let me know your preference for what gets printed.  All the designs will be included as digital printables for anyone getting the physical notepad, so you can continue to use them long after your notepad is finished. The two most popular designs will be available in the pledge manager as a printable add on for everyone else.

 an image with different designs of book list pages staggered across the screen, the left most has a pile of watercolour books in brown hues on one side and lines for title, author and date read. The second is mocked up to look like a library book card, with space for mood, title, author and rating. The third and fourth are two variations with a watercolour swash downthe left and an outline of a pile of books allowing for filling in the books vibe, then titel and author with the fourth having circles for checking off or rating the books. The third has numbers and a single column for the book title and author on the left, with the right side having some watercolour boxes for impressions, two of which are open for you to decide the heading, the latter two are titled Further reading and Notes. The rightmost and final page has watercolour vines hanging down and a tree coming up from the bottom right, it has sections for Title, Author and a box for Notes.


I've also completed an ashcan version Charm The Ferryman, so everyone that backed the small games bundle during the campaign will get a playtest copy of it along with your games bundle (emailed after you've completed your survey). I took it with me to Groundhog Play this past weekend for playtesting, and it's had a bit of an overhaul since then, so I'm interested to hear what you think. Then after any further revisions post more playtesting, it will be laid out by Grace Gittel Lewis, whose style is perfect for the silly underworld romp the game is. 

Surveys will go out at the start of April once the poll is over, though smoke tests will be incoming this Friday. When surveys go out to everyone, the Pre-Order store will also open, so if you know anyone that missed out, they'll be able to pick up a copy.

That's pretty much it for now, I've got some mysteries to plan and guest writers to commission, so get voting and i'll catch you in April!
