Friday Oct. 13th just seems like too good of a day for an update on Five Hundred Year Old Vampire to miss . We are continuing the prepare for manufacturing. The card files are on their way. We have also made the decision to print the journal with a different manufacturer. Ideally we wanted everything being done by the same company but ultimately we couldn't get the game manufacturer and the journal manufacturer to land at the same place. In part, we want to make sure that both the game and the journal meet a high threshold and to do that we need a paper quality for the journal that our game manufacturer couldn't provide. We are currently waiting for paper samples from our preferred journal manufacturer. Once we have those samples we are going to run some tests with different types of inks, paints, and other forms of crafting engagement. By this, we acknowledge the creativity of our followers and some of you may decide that you want to create a page in your journal that has a "pop-up" feature or some other element. While we can't promise that they will all work we want to attempt to get the pages of the journal to meet many of your ideas. After we test the paper we will lock in the journal.
While the team in Mt. Pleasant continues to work the manufacturing details, our artists are also hard at work on their projects. I am very excited to continue sharing this work with you. This week we have Priscilla Kim's work. About the project Priscilla said "I enjoyed the research side of these portraits; delving into very specific times and places for these player characters and trying to bring a little bit of that into the portraits was cool. :)" If you are unfamiliar with her work you should check out her website here: https://www.artstation.com/priscillakim. As with all of the artists on this project she has helped take the game to new heights. Below are the images for her pregenerated characters. Enjoy and happy Friday the 13th everyone!
