Project Update: Art Updates and Upcoming Radio Silence

Hey everybody! As you all know, the campaign is officially over and it performed beyond my expectations! Thanks to everybody for jumping in!

I'm very happy to say that Mac has officially been given art prompts and is beginning their work! This makes me extra happy because my wife and I are going on a much-needed vacation to England (leaving in about...28 hours...) and I won't be doing TTRPG work while I'm gone for a little over 2 weeks. While I'm gone, Mac will be doing art and Sean will be working on his 5e conversion of Metronax, so work will be continuing in my absence. I look forward to sharing art samples in the coming weeks! In the meantime, for anybody curious, you can check out a couple of screenshots of our in-progress layout work. The pink boxes indicate places Mac's art is going to go–black boxes are where chamber maps I'm drawing will go:
Sample layout 1

Sample layout 2

We typically handle layout in this fashion--we get things to a Good Enough phase so that we know what the artist will need to do, and then we (Sean and I) refine from there while the artist can work. So we may tweak fonts, bold or italicize things, play with spacing (and placing little ants through the book for funsies) but they're working in parallel so we can save a bit of time and get you fine folks your product a little faster. Which is all to say, things may or may not look exactly like this when you get your books, but I think it's fun to sneak a peek into the kitchen sometimes!

As summer begins, I hope you're all looking forward to a good season full of dice and fun!
