A new year begins

Hey Backers!

I hope everyone had a good new years break. I want to provide this update for me to stay honest with the progress and keep you all in the loop of whats going on. 

November and December were terrible months for me to get anything done. Filled with travel, family time, birthdays and holidays, in addition to contractors being busy as well for the same reasons. 

I've been laying out one of the manuscripts, but it was received with little formatting, so I've been manually fixing all of the 100+ blocks, which has been very time consuming. But nevertheless getting there. 

Also, I finally ordered the art prints, found a reputable art printer that makes good quality prints at a decent rate (cat print), and so they've been ordered with a bunch of extras (in case others want prints as well). I'll be posting the proofs as they arrive. 

That's all for now, I'm currently checking back with all of the oustanding drafts to ensure that everything is still moving. And I should be having a new PDF available to you soon.

All the best, 

Andreas

Hey Everyone!

Just a short update on the statbooks. I've now recieved the manuscripts for the remaining Pathfinder stats and Fate, and will be recieving Dungeon World shortly, I'm checking with the writers on the status of the others. I will be putting these into layout as soon as possible to get out to you all.

5e Statbook is done + Lots of Posters
over 4 years ago – Fri, Jul 26, 2019 at 04:59:26 PM

Hey All!

Just wanted to let you all know we pushed,  what I hope to be, the final update to the 5e Atlas Statbook! I had to do some reformatting for print, and I also added some handy tables which should be useful, allowing you to see the lists by CR and by ecology. Sorting by ecology was a really tricky one since some are very specific ecosystems. I broke it down by Aquatic, Arctic, Coastal, Desert , Forest,  Jungle (wetter or denser forest), Grassland, and Flexible (could really be found anywhere). 

If you have any ideas on the tables, Id be happy to fix them up prior to printing.  Next week is GenCon and I'm currently prepping for that so I wont get to printing the 5e stats until GenCon is over with.  

If you you're supposed to get the 5e statbook and don't have it , send me a message and I'll get you sorted. 

Posters

Sarah was amazing and was able to hammer out the posters really quickly. There are a few things I want to change, but before letting you select which posters you want (like background transparency, thickness of the bottom bar, header and logo placement, and finally text readability.) But at least the framework is there with all the little custom artistic additions that Sarah added!

Other Statbooks

Right now my core focus is getting Pathfinder finished. I need to check with the other collaborators on progress for the other systems, but given that GenCon's is next week, I don't think I'll get much progress from them. 

And speaking of Gencon

I'm going to have a table with the IGDN at booth 132 (on the far left wall). If you want to stop by and say hi, I would be delighted to meet you!

Thanks again for your patience and I look forward to getting all the goodies out to you soon.

An update?!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jul 02, 2019 at 02:32:34 AM

Hey Everyone. 

I first off want to apologize for the radio silence. I replied to a few comments and I guess I must have tricked myself into thinking that I published an update. Nevertheless I didn't and I'm terribly sorry for the silence.  Anyways. I know many of you are waiting for the various statbooks and prints and I want to apologize for how long it's taken. I knew that they would come after the core book, but not this long. The past several months , have been a rough portion of my life being mostly unemployed way longer than I expected.  I think most of it is behind me now, but nevertheless art needs to be printed and statbooks need to be made. 

Statbooks

Fate: just assigned this out, I expect the completed manuscript before the end of the month. 

Savage Worlds: just assigned this out. Also expecting manuscript before the end of the month.

Cypher System: I am working on this one.

Pathfinder: the designer working on these had his computer crash so he had to start all over from the beginning.  Unfortunately work has been rough for him recently and progress has been slow, I am looking to assign another designer to help him finish the lot.  

5e: There are a few more statblocks missing before this is complete. I'm just waiting for the Treant stats and I'll be able to square this one away and start looking into printing.

OSR/Dungeon World: Still need to bring someone on for these. Looking to do this tomorrow. 

and Art Prints.

What I'm looking on doing here is having each standalone creature being an optional print (its gonna take a bit of work to make all the thumbnails but I can get them done).  In addition, we have some composite images (featuring all the images from the beast). Unfortunately, it would cost me too much to make posters of all of them. So,  if there are any specific posters you would like to see I can get those made (i just cant do all of them). I created a survey (link below) so you can pick two from the list which should hopefully that will give me enough information to know which beasts everyone wants.

Again I'm terribly sorry for the radio silence and I will do everything I can to get you your rewards.

All the best
