I'm back with another update on Rinn and I'm glad to say we are getting very close to finalising everything for print. The copy is edited and ready for final layout. It's been great getting to work with Walt on this and discussing how Oxford appear to no longer concern themselves with the Oxford comma. Who knew?
I'm currently working through the final layout and adding some finishing touches. Rinn is going to be a 64 page zine and is fairly jammed with content (if you ask me) and I am thrilled to say that between its covers you get a ton of artwork by the incredibly talented Ste Topley. Ste has produced over 60 illustrations for Rinn and has done an incredible job bringing the world to life. I really can't wait for you to get your hands on his work.
The item sheets are almost finalised and I am delighted with how they have turned out. I'm hoping they give a nice, even representation of each of the factions and add plenty of flavour to play at the table. There are 30+ unique items and 4 conditions on the sheets. The digital mockup below may change slightly before going to print, but is 99% there.

Once Rinn is at the printers I will get another update out. Thanks again for you patience and support.
It's been quite some time, so wanted to give an update on the progress of Rinn to date. The content is close to being ready to place into the experienced hands of Walton Wood for editing. The bulk of my focus has been on the introductory adventure—The Inquisition Imposition—which I'm glad to say has come together nicely.
Ste Topley has also been working away quietly in the background on the remainder of the artwork. And I'm excited to share the final artwork for one of the spookier factions in Rinn; the Gloomwardens, custodians of Rinn's dead. Not the kind of thing a mouse wants to meet on the way home from the tavern.
In relation to fulfilment, Rinn is part of the Discounted Group Shipping and the folks at Exalted Funeral are working hard in the background to keep that moving along nicely.
I hope to get another update out soon, as we get closer the finalising all of the content, layout, and artwork.
No prompts included It's so important to support real artists these days, and with that in mind I wanted to share some of the process behind the character at the front of Rinn's campaign. Mirra, the red squirrel.
I remember sending on the first details of Mirra to Ste Topley. Something along the lines of “an infamous, sword-for-hire. Grumpy, gruff, and armour-clad. Red squirrel”. In no time at all Ste came back to me with an initial sketch, which I absolutely loved. He began to work in some more detail from here.
Early sketches
After some back and forth (and a conversation about the actual length of squirrel arms) Ste settled on what would become the final pose, and moved from pencils to digital.
From pencils to pixels
From here it was into the detail, and I must admit I love the chainmail, buckles, scars, all the small elements that bring Mirra to life (that tail!). It was a real privilege to collaborate with Ste and watch his process in action. The final artwork set the tone for the character art throughout Rinn, and really brought my words to life.
With just a few days remaining in the campaign I again just want to thank you all for your support, and I can't wait to bring my Mausritter realm into the human realm and share it with you!
Funded in 4 hours! Thank you so much for your support in helping bring Rinn to life! We did not expect it to happen so quickly! It's been a whirlwind watching the pledges come in.
This is just a short update to say how much we appreciate all of your pledges and can't wait to share more updates on Rinn in the near future. In the meantime feel free to spread the word about Rinn, the support is truly appreciated.

Hello,
this looks so amazing, I just had to back it :-)
I have a question, though. Do you already have an estimate how much shipping to Germany will cost, if I only pledge for Rinn?
Thank you,
Stefan
