Project Update: Layout Previews

Hello everyone,

Work on the layout continues. In the spirit of "a picture is worth 1000 words," let's just start with a lot of pictures! Here are in-progress images of layouts. More at the end; here, first, are 20 page spreads across 4 books:






















One technical note: the DCC side of layout is running a bit ahead of the 5E side. That's why we are only showing DCC page spreads here. Both layouts will feature the same set of imagery. Once the DCC layout is complete, 5E will catch up. By the time of the next update we will hopefully have some 5E layouts to show off as well.

But overall - looking pretty snazzy, eh? We think so! Tell us in the comments what your favorite page spread is!

Project Update: Layout has begun

Hello, denizens of the City-State!

This is a brief update to let you know that layout has begun!

We several hundred pages worth of text formatted and placed. We wanted to show you some actual layout previews, but at the moment the art isn't placed yet. So the layout is pretty basic looking - just pages of text.

In a couple weeks, when we have a lot more of the art placed, we will come back with another update showing, well, a whole lot of layout pages!

Thanks all - more to come.

Project Update: About 100 Images Remaining

Hello, City State backers!

We are nearing the tail end of art creation. The last several dozen illustrations have been steadily trickling in. So this update is going to start with even more art. These should give you a sense of what we've been working on. BTW, the Doug Kovacs chapter starts in particular are just awesome, as you are about to see.

So first some art - then a little more "reporting" at the end of this update...


























Next up will be layout. As a quick estimation, we have roughly 50-60 illustrations still to come in. Several books inside the boxed set are close to having all their art completed. 

As the art is completed for each specific book, we will start layout. Our next update should include some page spreads for you to check out!

Tell us in the comments what your favorite image is!

Project Update: And even MORE interior art...

Hello, denizens of the City-State!

There are a lot of artists working on this huge boxed set, and the art just keeps rolling in. And we're still in the process of commissioning new interior pieces - it takes a lot of illustrations to round out more than a million words of content!

So with that in mind, here is the next selection of interior illustrations for your enjoyment. Some of the longtime CSIO fans may recognize a few of these immediately. For others it will be a fun surprise when you read the book and see the full detail.

Once the art is done we will have layout previews to show. But for now... enjoy the art!

















Old-School Adventures & Pinball Crawl Classics

Now live and racking up stretch goals! New old-school adventures for fans of 5E and DCC. Pinball Crawl Classics adapts classic pinball cabinets to DCC RPG rules - while Old-School Adventures #1 brings gruesome foes, dark mysteries, and magic to startle and amaze to your 5E game. Check out the project to learn more!

Old-School Adventures and Pinball Crawl Classics - it doesn't get more old-school than this!
