Howdy folks! Time is just flying by... Honestly making me a little nervous about my December deadline, but it's too soon to call now. The main delay in all this is editing, of which no one but myself is at fault due to the sheer amount of content I've written!
Here's Where We Stand:
Prologue: Text laid, illustrations commissioned!
Chapter 1: 1/3 text laid, awaiting the rest to be edited. Maps comissioned. Some illustrations comissioned.
Chapter 2: Maps ready for layout. Some illustrations comissioned.
Chapter 3: Nada.
Chapter 4: Maps commissioned.
Chapter 5: Maps commissioned.
Epilogue: Nada.
Appendix P (P for patrons): Some illustrations comissioned.
Cassettes: Pamphlet layout needed.
Dice: Currently being manufactured, Pamphlet layout needed.
There's still so much to do and it's very exciting to finally see it all in motion (albeit slow motion...)
Page Borders
After some debate I have decided that borders around the pages will clutter up the layout. I will instead dedicate those funds to more illustrations and handouts.
Surveys
Only 7% of Fate's Champions have not completed the survey. Hopefully they didn’t get lost in the Lodge Between...
I will have some digital content coming to everyone soon in the form of PDF adventures for Sky ov Crimson Flame and Blights ov the Eastern Forest as well as their complementary soundtracks.
It’s only been 3 years since the 2nd printings of these adventures came out, and I’ve already learned so much when it comes to layout. Not to say the originals were bad, but… I’m a crazy person. So I’ve gone through both adventures and completely re-laid everything from the ground up (as well as fixed a few typos, updated monster stats, etc.).
Note: These updated versions may not reflect the physical copies I send out unless I sell out of my original 2nd printings between now and the shipping date. Which honestly might happen!
48hr Patches
I’ve received a few messages from people requesting I drop the patch from their pledge. Just a reminder: if you backed at a digital-only level and don’t want to pay for the shipping of a patch, this is an option.
GenCon Approaches!
Can't believe it's here already! It's going to be the craziest 4 days of gaming you can imagine. If you'd like to say hi, you can find me at one of the two Goodman Games booths in the vendor hall (109 & 2519) or down in Lucas Oil Stadium running chapters from Seekers ov the Other Worlds.There are still a few seats available (one or two in the Wizard Van!), so hit the links below and snag yourself a seat!
Hey everyone, Quick update here to address the 48hr Backer Patch that some of you are asking about.
The patch is being added to ALL Backers (digital and physical) that pledged within the first 48 hours of the campaign.
For those that pledged only for digital rewards (PDFs, etc) you will also receive a patch and it will be mailed out in an envelope to the address you provide. The shipping charge for this envelope (if I even charge for it) will be between $1-3.
If you DON'T want the patch, for whatever reason, you can drop me a line at: owlknightpublishing @ gmail DOT com and I will remove it from your pledge.
If you have any other concerns or questions feel free to reach out the email provided or comment below.
Hello everyone and Happy Midsommar! I hope both the Old Gods and the New have blessed thee! I have several updates, new artwork and more to share!
New Art!
Let's begin with the fun stuff! ART!
Chapter 2 Title Illustration - Omega Terra by Faith Murphree
Stag Shield of Sir Anatos by Jordyn Thompson
Layout has Begun!
Editing has finished for the Prologue and so I am able to begin layout and will continue down the line as each chapter's editts are completed. Here are some screen shots of a couple of WIP pages:
Something I've been pondering is whether or not chapter borders will "muddy" up the layout. Sometimes less is more and I'm incline to think that adding borders now will take away from the other art and text. I'm having Jordyn doodle some test borders to see what they might look like before I make any final decisions.
Surveys!
Smoke screen surverys will sent out today to about 5% of you. Once I get those back and make sure everything is in order all the surverys should hit your inboxes by the week's end. In the survery you may upgrate or add on to your previous pledge as you see fit! Due to the flucuations in costs, shipping will be charged at a later date.
New Track Release!
And last but not least, how about a new track from the Seekers ov the Other Worlds dungeon synth soundtrack - OMEGA TERRA!
Hello Champions! I'm back with another update. I wanted to send this out eariler, but.. I've had deadlines for other Goodman projects to meet, and conventions to attend and a life to try and live haha! None-the-less I do have some things to share!
Con Carolina's Gang!
What's Happening?
Editing is underway and I'm planning to go through the editors notes this week for the Prologue and Chapters 1-5. This means that layout for the book will be progressing shortly after, which in turn means more artwork can be commissioned! WOOHOO!
I have received the dice proofs for the new set and they look great! (See pictures below). It's hard to pick up in the photos, but there is a metallic sheen to the swirling colors which is very nice.
I've gotten a few new pieces of art from Jordyn. These are enviromental handouts and items for Chapter 1.
DICE PROOFS!
SHINY!
Newt is ready to roll!
Dinner with the Duke of Yooh
Court of the "Worm King"
An Iron Crown
That's all there is for now. I have no travel plans this month, so I can commit more time to towards this project.
Hey Everyone! I'm back again with another small, but fun update.
MOMOCON!
Goodman Games Raffle at MomoCon!
I just returned from running the booth at MomoCon and (as always) had a blast! We celebrated Goodman Games' 25th Anniversay by doning dino party hats and poorly playing kazoos! I'm on the road once again this weekend heading to Charlotte, NC for Con Carolinas. Maybe I'll see ya there!
Seekers Progress!
I don't have much to share yet, but here's where we stand:
Prologue and Chapters 1-5 are with the editor.
The Epilogue and Appendices are still being finalized by moi.
Still awaiting the dice proofs to arrive in the mail.
Awaiting some sketches for interior art comissioned.
Maps for some of the chapters have been comissioned, but still awaiting some sketches.
48hr patch deisgn has been finalized.
The Abomination Atma-khanjr!
The Seekers ov the Other Worlds campaign is about Balancing the Multiverse by siphoning the splintered souls of the Necromancer Balrothhariid into the chaos weapon Atma-khanjr. As seen on the Backerkit page, the dagger grows with each siphoning, possibily growing from a dagger into a zeihandler! Each time there's an increased chance of it becoming wholly sentient and transforming into an abomination that then kicks the PCs straight into the "third act".
I present to you the look of that abomination as designed by myself and Stefan Poag!
The Final Form!
Pretty awesome eh!
Welp! That's all I've got for now, hopefully I'll have even more artwork to share next month! - Thorin!
