Project Update: Purgatory progress
Time moves inexorably forward, but so does our progress.
Our resident writing wunderkind Brian Yaksha has just completed the manuscript for The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura. It's coming in at just over 150 pages, which means that even after developmental editing we're going to have to keep some of it in our "in case of emergency, publish" vault of future adventures. Rest assured this won't be the last time we visit the hellish realms of Tripura!
But enough about potentials! Let's keep this centered on the 64 pages we're putting in this book, straight from the creator himself: Brian's gonna tell us a bit about the manuscript and how it all came together.
Howdy folks, Brian Yaksha here, just chiming in to keep you all in the loop about the development process on The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura. As of a few weeks ago, the entire manuscript has been finished; coming in at a bulky 156 pages prior to any art, editing, or layout. As you can likely parse, this means it is now undergoing a very hefty developmental edit to ensure it can fit within the pages of physical printed media. This is the sort of circumstance that commonly occurs when I follow my natural urge to put as many tables as humanly possible within a project, and prior to any editing we had exactly 100 sets of nuanced randomizers across the whole of the work. Rest assured that anything we have to cut from the book will still be accessible; I'll still be adding them to the randomized html outputters for encounters and the like. I'll certainly also push that if possible, any tools cut end up in a pdf free alongside the digital side of the project for everyone who backs it.
We're overjoyed with how good the adventure has turned out, and with Daniel's art and Walton's impeccable editing we're sure it's destined to be a Mudknight classic. Layout is in-process simultaneously, and the book will be prepared for print in October. When all is sent to the press we'll send out reward surveys and your host of digital rewards. Without jinxing ourselves, we feel confident saying that these books should be with you backers in good time before Christmas.
Thanks again for making another Mudcrawl possible, and we'll talk again soon. Cheers!
-Michael and Mudknight Media
