Project Update: From the Book Mines 14: A Few Passes Later

Hello Good Goldenagers,

Here's a quick weekly check-in. Since last week I've finished the first round of layout passes on the lands chapters, so now they all have consistent openings, overviews, maps, environment and event tables, and transport options, as well as shopping spreads.

red land opening spread


red land map and ambient - the map takes a bit of extra space, so ...


... I added some more events as well, to cover more territory. That piece of art has been done forever.


and the red land vendors ... still due a bit of spot art, but that's after all the layout is done, as I've mentioned.


I've also re-laid out and restored the sections describing the languages and humans in the rules appendage to the first adventure skeleton (summons unexpected).

lots of room for drawings, eh? again, after layout.



Now, on the question of:

Whens

Again, I'm not going to be drawn on a precise and compleat timeline, because it's not entirely in my hands. However, I'm tracking the time it takes me to finish the layouts and such, and I've been broadly right in my estimate that I average around 4–5 pages per work day.

So, since the last update, that's roughly the first 80 pages of the book laid out, plus the green and yellow lands (another 40 pages), and about 25 more pages in between for the rest of the lands (out of roughly 80 total pages there).

That means we're about 55 pages or 3 weeks out from having all the pages, from i to 200, laid out.

When's that? 4th of December?

And then I want to lay out the remaining ~45 pages for the appendix, leaving 10 fallow pages to spread around for incidental art, indexes, and such like. We'll see.

By then we'll be in a good place to talk proofs / prints / production.

Ok, that's it for this week.

Cheers from Seoul,
Luka
