Project Update: Pledge Manager is Live

As you probably already aware, the pledge manger opened for all the Purple Planet Horde campaigns under Goodman Games's banner (https://adventures-on-the-purple-planet-and-beyond.backerkit.com/).

1) The master pledge manager is live. Backers can see what they've backed and select items to add on, but you can’t see shipping charges. (we are currently at this stage)
2) In a couple weeks we will be locking down your order and calculating and uploading the shipping charges
3) Backers will then see their shipping charges.
4) Cards are charged.
5) Every campaign ships their books to the fulfillment company.
5) The fulfillment begins.

Hey, Just got my survey for the Purple Planet. I almost ordered your book again. Why are your rewards not listed in the big survey? Your book is an addon.

Project Update: What's up with July & River of Lies?

Feeling it
I woke up this morning and I got out of bed. Had a big ol' cup of coffee to clear my head. Email pinging with finished maps! Everything's almost done and that is what is up with that! Ooo wee!

Yes. That's right. All the images for River of Lies are in. Big thanks to the artists for getting all those images done: Stefan Poag, Del Teigeler, Steven Gomez, Doug Kovacs, Brad McDevitt, Juan Ochoa, Jayna Pavlin, Colin Richards, Matt Sutton, Jon Wilson

Donn Stroud is hard at work on the bonus drop-in encounter and then I'll need a few more spots to finish those. 

Everything starts going to the printers very very soon. 

Bree yark, my horde. Bree yark!

Project Update: What's up with this?

What's up with Horse Shark?

Hey, it is May and I have dropped nary a word about River of Lies. What's up with that?

Fear not! I have been actively working on River of Lies between all the other plates I have spinning.
Behold!:
  • Back in early April I finished the rough draft and gave it to Jeff Scifert for editing. Jeff is finished.
  • I got a little bonus editing from Stefan Surratt as he has volunteered to give it a Judge's play test with a group of his own. Thank you, Stefan!
  • I've had Del Teigeler in mind for cartography since December and I finally managed to finish my rough maps sometime in the 1st week of April. He's got a commission ahead of this one, but River of Lies is up next. I figure I'll have sometime before summer begins.
  • About mid April I started layout for the interior. Spots for art were identified.
  • Talks continue with a fulfillment partner that can handle all the projects together at the same time. Joseph Goodman is leading that charge.
  • I started reaching out to my regular artists to see if they want to grab some spots. Many of the those commissions are underway. I thrilled to have a lot of regulars returning. More as those pieces hit my inbox.
  • I've finalized page count and paid for printing.

So things are going pretty well. I suspect the biggest rock is getting our fulfillment partner settled and see what the shipping/handling pricing is going to look like.

Netcrawl
Netcrawl RPG: Adventuring in the WorldNet

You may remember that Netcrawl is another project I am working on. I'm happy to announce that it will also be on Backerkit and starts September 3rd. Go and follow the project now. 

Thanks for supporting the projects. Talk to you soon!

Project Update: Portal to the Purple Planet Closed ... for Now.

Thank the gods.

First things first. Thank you backers. I couldn't ask for a better group to have along with me for the journey. 
As we indicated at the beginning, all the Purple Planet Horde and Goodman Games will be fulfilling together with a third party packing and shipping boxes from the US, Canada, UK/Europe & Australia. The details are yet to be determined.
For now sit back and relax. You've earned it.
