Hey backers, just wanted to drop a quick note (mostly because I am excited and needed to shout it out to the world), things are moving very quick on having "The Gammatastic Voyage" ready for print! The editor did a killer job getting things turned around, and almost all the art is in at this point (as well as maps). Layout has been tricky (there are some pull-out sections I'm trying to fancy up, and finding places for all the randomizing charts and illustrations while maintaining balance has been a challenge.

I'm waiting for to see it in actual printer's proof, but I have some concerns with the transparency concept. Though my printer can do them, I have found that getting opaque ink will look much better, and I'm working with them to see if they can do that while simultaneously looking for other vendors as options as well. My plan C is to do these as giant cling stickers, but that just wouldn't feel as thematic, now would it? (though it does offer a little more usability-not sliding around, etc.).

I have priced out doing the little bonus PDF zine "The Village" as a print and it seems it will be economical, so I will be offering that as an add-on when I send out the surveys.

I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, here's a not-quite-final version of the map for the StarSpawn facility done in isometric form...
