Project Update: Wilderness & Settlement Decks off to Editing, New Previews

Hi Folks,
Our Wilderness deck is in our editor's hands, and the Settlements deck is done--once I read through it one more time, it will go to our editor in a few days. The Underrealms and Otherworldly decks have just a couple of the reference cards to finish so I expect to get one of those to our editor in a week or so and the other the week after that. (I have a trip coming up so that's why it may take a week for just a few cards.) Our High Seas deck will wrap writing by the end of this month and be in our editor's hands during that first week.  And I'm working on tiles in between all of that.  So everything is tracking as expected. 

Again, due to possible tariffs we're holding off on sending our pledge manager link out.  Because we print in the US and our printer confirmed they have plenty of material, we don't expect any tariff impacts for the majority of folks.  But for anyone outside of the US... well we'll see what the situation is link in June.  We're dedicated to working with you if things do have an impact.

I love the ideas you all posted for things to add in these last few cards of each deck. Here are a few new samples:
Jobs & rumors around town.

I love this first one based on an idea from 'Mattgreenbean'. The premise is 'What can we do in town?'.  If you're like my groups, some characters have tasks planned--like the wizard wants to make some item, or the fighter needs custom armor made.  But what is everyone else doing?  With this chart, you can see that the priest can help a temple distribute donations (and others can help too--even the fighter who's just waiting on new armor).  It might lead to an adventure (anyone 'busy' can be pulled away briefly/after hours)--or the task may just be a note of how they spent a day. Other ideas might lead to rumors and contacts for the PCs: The thief might learn of a 'fence' named Fuzzy who he can use to sell stuff or later intimidate for clues/info.
Architecture styles.
And this was another fun info-card to put together. If you want to make your descriptions of towns more distinct, here are 18 small pictures and super-short descriptions of each style, jammed into 2 cards.

Finally, here are a couple of new-new pieces of art.  We're still working on the final few pieces, but I expect to have them well before the end of the month.

Turtle Power!

Thank you for supporting this project!  I'm sure you're going to love the results!
