Project Update: September Update (and a sneak peak adventure)

Hey backers!
As we swing into fall we wanted to keep you updated on the progress of the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition!

Note: Pre-Orders are still open! https://liminal-horror-deluxe-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Dev Updates:

Case Files 01: Is complete and the pdf has been delivered to backers! Josh made some tweaks to the cover to make it look a bit more manila file looking:

Cult Classic: We are wrapping up the stretch adventure Cult Classic. After finishing Einfühlung, we realized these two adventures were in conversation with each other, so we did some rewrites in order to align them closer and place Cult Classic more firmly in a murder mystery that shifts into [redacted]. Those rewrites are almost finished and then it is off to editing with Jert! This is the last piece of writing for the entire project. One thing worth noting is that this included adventure is around 30+ pages, and is almost module-sized in and of itself.
Deluxe Edition: We have about all of the text written and through editing (sans the adjustments to Cult Classic). Around 70% of the book is in draft layout (with the remaining 30% being the rules and Facilitator chapters which are fairly straightforward in their design and implementation). Getting the remaining portion into draft layout will be a fairly quick process, and then we will comb through the book doing the design punching up (which mirrors our process for text punching up). This process is fairly quick as once we get into the design aesthetics established we tear through the text. The final step will be concurrent (with a line editing pass for any errors and hyperlinking/annotating/pagination).
Einfühlung: The text has been fully edited and is in draft layout. The final step will be to do the design punch up (which mirrors the process we will do for the Deluxe Edition). We're really proud of this starter adventure and are excited to get it into your hands. This one definitely evolved in scope (being 40+/50+ page zine (and is one of the reasons the other portions of the Deluxe Edition have had to wait as we got this one just right). Zach did some great art for the pre-generated Investigators (our crew of This Mysterious Life that was first introduced in One Night at the Shelterwood Inn). Alongside the starter adventure, having a robust set of pre-gens/crew framing will be a major benefit for players and Facilitators!

But Goblin, are you saying I need to wait longer for things? The short answer is yes, but I don't want to leave you without anything. Last month we released Case Files 01, so this month we wanted to give you another toy to play with. In the Backer Only content is a link to the draft export for one of the included stretch scenarios: Camp Coldwater. This can function as a prequel for The Bloom and is a riff on the classic camp slasher genre. Note that this is the pre-design-punch up draft layout and so the final product may be subject to change, but all the text and heart of it will be the same. So pop in your favorite Friday the 13th installment (at this moment mine is Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter) and get ready to see if your Investigators can survive the night!
