Cover Art WIP Update; Page Count Increase


Cover Art!

I got an update on the cover art that focused on more details for the cover page of both books.

We're still focusing on "we're too cool for clothing, let alone armor" on the Frazetta-homage that is the cover to Legends.

Team Evil gets even more self-satisifed on Sagas.

The covers will continue to evolve as the project goes on.

Page Counts
I've more or less spent the entire weekend on Sagas, since Legends is in a pretty good place. Sagas is growing. Spirit-bound weapons were already kinda cool, but we had some ideas that - I think - make them even more fun. And this has resulted in Sagas overtaking Legends in page count: Now it's looking like it's going to come in at 44 pages, with plenty of example items.

Progress
Right now, we're ... doing OK. We're at 70% funding, with about $4,000 more to go - about 115 more people.

Still, if one must be honest, the response is not overwhelming. We may fund, but the trajectory is such that we're not going to be close to the 500-700 people we saw in the Bestiary, Citadel at Nordvorn, or even Hall of Judgment.

Of course, at a backer count level of 500-700 folks, contemplating a hardcover, sewn-binding, 96-page omnibus gets pretty attractive. The need for printing in the EU and much more challenging staging and shipping gives one pause, but as backer counts hit that range, it seems attractive. A stretch goal - though it's in the distance at this point - of 200% funding for a hardcover omnibus instead of the 2x softcover books isn't crazy talk ... should we get close.

For now, we still have two full weeks to go, so I hope folks jump on board and help push it to fund.

No. That was Kickstarter only. There’s actually only one copy left…mine!

I actually got it on Kickstarter, but it seems to have been misplaced during a move last fall. Maybe it'll turn up!
