Let's start with the "downside." As I've mention in an earlier update, my main computer (with all my illustrating, publishing, and other software on it) had a major hardware failure. I thought I would get things fixed and be up and running pretty quick, but then life decided to show me who's in charge! Without going into every detail, 2 processors, a lost parcel claim, a purchase of a replacement computer from a scam company, the purchase of a computer that isn't quite what I wanted but what I could afford, and 5.5 weeks was all it took to get "back on my feet."
The good news is that the artist (Santi Iborra) is nearly done with everything (including the sponsored monsters). Here's a image of the Yarsalite (alien fly guy) from him:
Kinda like something off a 80s video game box...
The editor has almost gotten through the first 3/4 of the file and is waiting on me to get her the rest (some of the material was stuck on the hard drive of the dead computer and I am just now getting a chance to do my final pass before sending it to her).
Anyhow, the bottom line is that the timeline for this project will be off a bit, but I'm hoping it won't be that bad (maybe end of March?). In the mean time, the pre-order store is up for folks that missed the campaign, and surveys and fulfillment add-ons should be set to go maybe this next week (I'm working on some extra stuff for that...). I want to thank you for your patience with all this and for the help/advice many people have offered in getting my stuff reset on the new CPU.
In the meantime, my buddy and fellow Ink Slinger, Stefan Surratt is producing a 10th Level DCC module written by Julian Bernick check it out:
What a cover! I love Stefan's Eye for Art!
The 10th Doomstar is the first traditional 10th level adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics! Written by Julian Bernick, the greatest heroes of the age must stop a comet from irradiating the entire world in chaos. If they fail, civilization shall fall!
