Project Update: Misery Monday XVI | The Guidebook Preview


Welcome back Misserians,

Last week, I shared the Oracle Dice instead of the Guidebook cover + book layout. I've been working on this a bit, I'm actually more excited to share the box which I've also been working on at the moment, but here we are and I should be sharing the guidebook. Very well!



Enoch helped put together a gorgeous texture to use on the guidebook covers, then we folded The Victim and The Penitent over them, I darkened a little, added our elements, and just like that, we have the back and front covers! Since these will be in the box, I'm not putting a barcode or anything on them, so it gets to be fairly clean which is lovely.

The book layout isn't quite ready, I'm still debating a few elements colors, etc. And please note the lines you see in the background gradient won't print like that, I don't know why it keeps showing lines haha. But the gist of font faces, colors, sizes are in line with my goals for the book.

Enoch is putting together a design element to put in the corners that will hold a plaque in some wire for the page numbers, and a cross bar that can signify the end of a section, especially for spots where the text doesn't fill the full page.

Next week I should be sharing the card disk and the art prints, but I'm not sure if we'll have the specs for the disk even by then-- manufacturer is really dragging their feet on the templates for that and the box. So I might show the box ideas or the journal early-- hard to say!

From here until May 1st when the Oracle Dice project launches, we're playing fast and loose with the final items!

See you next week for the random grab bag of fun things! : )
