Greetings cryptids, androids, and lovers of shiny math rocks! Rick here with an update on July!
Overall Dark Carnival:
-Copy Edits due back end of July. Right now, a lot of production is Michael and I waiting for copy edits to return on the full manuscript so we can start working through them.
-Gamefound hath ended. Soundtrack Unlocked. Music creation is underway! V is for Villains has everything they need and they've begun the process of creating it! (Well, more than the first trailer song everyone heard that is!)
-Print Quote Sourcing Is EXCITING! Ah...the land of print quotes. Tariffs...paper quality...covers... I've been doing this in the background the whole time, but finally narrowing it down to the final two companies we are going to work with.
-THE DICE HATH BEEN AQUIRED! One of the biggest mysteries was the dice in regards to the Tariff situation. When everything was temporarily paused... we raced and got them done. Ergo! We have dice! In our hands!
That said...everyone really liked the idea of some small batch or rare dice from local artists we meet on our journey...so we actually are getting a few of those made as well.
Surveys:
Surveys will go out I'm assuming in late October / November. I know some crowdfunding campaigns send out surveys within 30 days, but we've been pushing them back further and further into the production cycle intentionally - payment to the shipping gods is best served when we are closest to production.
Plus, it prevents all the "I need to change my address" emails that happen when we do it early. I'm aiming to launch surveys for everyone on both Backerkit and Gamefound in October when we are close enough to start early backer PDF releases for the 1st draft.
The major pieces of artwork are coming in hot! I'm going to drop in ONE final art piece here for everyone, and then more art after the jump!
Monsters of Murka!
Jaron Johnson and the Action Fiction team are extremely close friends of ST Forge! Jaron is one of our writers on the Black Ballad and Red Opera, and ST Forge is working on Cthulhu Dreamnt! So when the greatest modern D&D campaign setting where you battle and dungeon crawl in the hall of Walmoria returns -> YOU DAMN WELL BET WE ARE SIGNING UP!
They have a launch party in 6 days that you can sign up for right here: CLICK THIS!
Frankly, I think everyone in the TTRPG community needs this box set on our shelf. It's perfectly timed as a campaign as well :3
Without Further Ado! Final Artwork! THE DARK CARNIVAL HELLHOUND TAMER RANGER CLASS!
More art by Emi Miller! (and more art for Backers Only after the jump!)
