Hi all,

Another heads-down update this month as layout work continues. The designs for six chapters, one mission, and all ten pirate crew spreads have been completed so far, with the next mission design currently in review. Spider00x has been figuring out how to assemble our disparate contributions into sensible spreads and filling gaps with custom art and modified licensed stock pieces.

Here are a few more layout samples to hold you over:

To finish layout, we still have six missions, some spreads of additional tables, the indexes, and the front matter and table of contents to do. I think this tail end of the layout work should go more quickly than what’s been accomplished so far, since the layout design within the mission chapters shouldn’t change as much spread-to-spread as it does in the first half of the book.

In terms of art, I believe every piece that hasn’t been completed is currently in progress and should be finished by the time layout is done.

In other news, a member of the Azimuth Gang, Chris Airiau of 5 Million Worlds Press, will be launching the BackerKit campaign for a new module next month: Twisting Unseen. In this 36pg Mothership RPG adventure inspired by BLAME!, Pandorum, Half-Life, and yokai folklore, the crew awaken within a decrepit superstructure where reactivated teleportation tech runs amok. To return to their own spacetime, the crew must learn the lost colony's secrets, or be damned never to see home again.
