Hi folks,

Short one to keep everyone in the loop. No change since last update other than I'm a few days away from having the book done. The next update after this one will be when the PDF is done.

Once the PDF goes out the BackerKit surveys will be sent shortly thereafter.

See you all at the finish line and thanks for the continued patience.

Thanks and regards,

Mark

Solemn Vale Project Update - The finish line...
over 3 years ago – Sat, Dec 24, 2022 at 04:30:35 AM

Hi Folks,

Just a quick one. I'm pushing to get the book done prior to the end of the year but it's looking more likely it'll be somewhere in the first week of January-2023 before I get the PDF out to backers. I could send the incomplete PDF out now but I decided to wait and ensure the book that goes out is 100% complete.

I'm down to only a handful of pending artwork and some additional graphic design so it'll be very soon.

I'll be in touch shortly with the links via DriveThru and Itch. Once the PDF is out to backers I'll spend the next week after that reviewing the BackerKit to ensure it's all solid then we'll get the surveys rolling etc. Expect that around mid-Jan-2023.

Print timelines will be reviewed at a later date once the errata period is complete and the printer schedules the print run. So for now, physical delivery dates are still unknown.

Well that's that. Hoping everyone has a festive holiday season and I'll see you all in the next update... where the book will be finished. Woohoo!!!

Thanks and regards,

Mark

Hi Folks,

Good progress continues to be made with the Solemn Vale core book with around 25 pages left to finish. End of the year is still looking good. I'll have a definitive idea within the next two weeks and I'll keep everyone posted, as per usual, on the progress.

If you want a proper sampler of the book, check out the free Wyrd Abacus rules linked below. The 80 page PDF incudes the full rules, a sample from "The Boundaries" chapter and the story module "Footprints".

The Stage Cards link was sent out a couple of weeks ago so be sure to check your KS Inbox for those. Once the book goes out proper I'll include the PDF so it'll be in your DriveThru or Itch, just an FYI if you prefer to wait and get the stage cards via that route.

Hi folks,

Things are moving well with about 50 pages from the 352 page core book left to complete. At the current rate I'm getting 1 or 2 pages done per day. With that said, and without generating too much stress, I'm hoping to get the PDF out to backers by the end of Dec-2022.

I've got the standalone Wyrd Abacus rules now uploaded onto DriveThruRPG. The 80 page PDF includes the full rules, a sample from "The Boundaries" chapter and the story module "Footprints". The Itch PDF has been updated also.

Any reviews and or feedback welcomed.

Next week I'll send out the file via DriveThruRPG along with the Print & Play versions of the Stage Cards.
