I could. It would be easier with more specific questions.

It's the last TWO DAYS for Saethor's Bane: A Dungeon Fantasy RPG Solo Adventure!

The project funded in the first eight hours and now stands just a bit shy of the $21,000 full-color-interior stretch goal. It ends at 9:30pm Central Time, Saturday March 9.

This solo adventure is a great way to learn or teach the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. It gives you a chance to try out new professions and rules with no time pressure.

Please jump on board before time runs out!

If you are in forums where you don't see me posting that would welcome such things, I'd appreciate a shout-out or helping spread the word. We only need about 40 new backers to hit the goal, and there should be lots of folks who would be willing to try out a game by themselves that might not have a group.

Almost there, only a few hundred dollars more!

As of now, it's there.

Hurray! Looking forward to it. Guess I'll buy the digital TFT version to have a preview.

While I will never dissuade anyone from buying anything from me ... I hope to have the digital version of the actual GURPS book in "ready for proofing and fight-testing" within the next week or so.

Everything is color now.

We passed the $21,000 goal in the night [1] so I'll be reaching out and giving the go signal (translated as a contract and money in advance) to the art team, who will mostly be revisiting their old works. A few have indicated that they're prefer to do entirely new pieces, so that's even better.

Expect this to take 1-2 months for full completion, but that's just for the print works. As soon as the conversion of the main material is done, backers will get greyscale versions of the books to play and test. When the art comes in (maps are already in) they'll be added to the color interior

I'm very excited about this, as I do prefer color and all my DFRPG books before have been color. The cards will look spectacular and be useful.

This is great news ... and there's still a day and a half left!

[1]I can't help but hear this in the voice of Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings: "Oh ... we must have passed the stretch goal during the night."

I went to the campaign page just now, curious as to how it's going... and by chance hit it just as the final seconds rolled down to zero. Done!

Congrats on the successful funding and stretch goal! Looking forward to seeing and playing the result.

Ok, thanks. Guess I'll wait as I wouldn't get to use it for about 2 weeks. Thanks. Never fear, I'll surely buy something else from you this month!

I just wanted to say, literally the only reason I backed this is because I want to have something to hand out to possible players to do solo & decide whether or not they join a game. I'm 99% of the time, the GM, because nobody else will be. So, I appreciate having this thing to hand out, which is similar to what I used to do with "All in a night's work," I think was the name of that solo adventure...
Thanks Doug.
