No Country For Old Kobolds, A Dungeon World Hack

June Update

Hey folks,

 Sorry I've been out of pocket for so long but my father passed in early May as I was finishing up stubbing out the art in the manuscript and that pretty obviously put me behind. While I'm done with all the stubbing and art I've had some problems with my previous layout artist and I've had to let him go. I'm bringing on a new layout artist to take over the project as of tomorrow. This should mean that we'll have the full PDF done in the next couple of weeks and it will be off to the printers! I seriously doubt we'll get delivery by GenCon but it should happen right after that. 

I'm pulling Myriad Peoples of the Orbs out of the main book to prevent anymore delays since I really want to add more monsters and art than currently exist. Subsequently I'm trying to figure out a way to get a physical version of that provided to all backers above PDF. 

Additional stretch goal material should start flowing over in the next month or two as well and we'll get them all out to you as soon as they're available. 

Again, sorry for all the delays but we're nearly there.

Thanks,

Steve

New Year Update
over 8 years ago – Sun, Jan 03, 2016 at 01:23:50 PM

Hey everyone, just a quick update to let you know the status. The book hasn't gone to layout yet, it took me a lot longer to write a decent chapter on combat and units than I thought it would - this is honestly down to my poor workload estimations I think, stuff I'll talk about in the post-mortem (I'll do a post-mortem on the project as a final update)

Anyway I finished the chapter a few nights ago and we're in the last of what has seemed like an endless round of editing. But it's all for the better of the book, I assure you!

Anyway, I believe I we can get all of the edits done this month. I'm hoping more like a week or so than 3. It's then to layout for a couple of weeks, digital distribution and finally printing which should be 3-6 weeks depending on the printers workload. After that it'll all be drop shipped from the printer.

Oh, and I'll release the final text to backers as soon as it's fully edited so you can have it prior to the full layout. 

Thanks for your patience!

Early December Update

Just wanted to drop a line to let everyone in on the current status. 

Editing took a little longer than expected but it's nearly done. I'm currently adding one additional chapter on combat and units to flesh those ideas out a bit more and we should be done right after that. Timelines are probably a week or so behind so I'm guessing the digital will come out closer to New Years and the physical copies in January early February depending on printing time.

In the meantime here's a chon-chon, one of the creatures from the Guide to the Myriad Peoples of the Orbs. 

Mid November Update

Hey folks, just wanted to drop a quick line to let everyone know current status. Mark is currently working on final edits and will have them back to me by 11/22 (this sunday) After that I'll make any final (minor) changes and send it over to Paolo to get layout done! Layout should take about 1-2 weeks at most so I expect to have the digital version out well in advance of Christmas and the physical copies to follow right at the start of the year. I'll have my printer dropship the books directly to you fine folks so there won't be a delay in me trying to get everything packed. 

I'll be sending out Backerkit surveys this week so I can get a total number of add-ons and whatnot and get those out to the vendors I'm using. It's all finally coming together a little over a year after the kickstarter first started. I certainly hoped to have it quicker but I'm happy to see a light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks for all your patience and support!

Monday Update part deux

Hey everyone,

 Just a quick update to let everyone know current status. The edits are coming along nicely, I think we're very near gold. I'm going through the manuscript and figuring out where each image will go and lettering the comics this week. I'm also fixing up a couple of the units in the GuMPO so they're a bit more interesting. 

Overall a lot of work has happened over the past couple of weeks and we're getting much closer to getting this book in your hands!

Thanks again for your support!
