(It's not going to take a lot of work to finish these up -- perhaps a day or so -- but that still means waiting until we have a spare day.)

It's worth noting that, due to our optimizing them for CreateSpace, these new files are laid out in black & white, not color. So when we do upload them, they will be B&W PDFs, much like Ultra-Tech.

Will the eBooks be PDFs, or ePUB/MOBI-formatted? As I've been prepping Dungeon Grappling, my first stretch goal was an ebook formatted for small screens and tablets. That meant a single-column layout in one of those formats (but also B/W, no art, yes charts), rather than the PDF format which is pretty irritating to read on a small device due to the need to navigate around the page by column.
