Project Update: I know... I send a lot of updates!

Hey everyone,

I've been told it's best to overcommunicate, especially when dealing with other people's expectations and money and trust.  So I'm trying to find the balance somewhere between overcommunicating and just  being a pest. But also sometimes I get excited.

AND RIGHT NOW, I'M EXCITED!!!

Everything is coming together really well and everything is on schedule. Layout is progressing nicely and I'm seeing art come rolling in from Brett and Dan, and Bob is getting me the Stretch Goal #1 content today, which I'll do an edit pass on (although for real... he's such a good writer, he makes my job super easy) and then send it to Raven for layout.

This has been such a great project and I can't wait for everyone to see it. I hope you all love it as much as I do. We've started planning out Heroic Adventure! #2 - Vault of the Murderworm and we'll have more info on that one later.  Finally, for DCC Day (2025) we'll have two goodies in the box for stores which will be revealed in time (but here's a hint... one of them is a crazy adventure!!)

Final Stretch Goal
We're currently about ~107 dollars from the final stretch goal! This is the Bonus content from Bob that we talked about before. This is the stuff that can be usable by GMs outside of Evil Never Dies. You guys overwhelmingly voted to keep it as part of the book, rather than as a separate doc later on. We're SOOOO CLOSE!!!  I really want to see this happen, and you do too (even if you don't know it yet.)

So lets get there and then I can focus on the final week push. If the gang has time, I'll see if I can round everyone up for another zoom livestream for the final day, and maybe we can push this sucker into overtime mode.

One more thing...
Planet of the Cyclops Con is this weekend and Bob is running TWO playtest sessions of Heroic Adventure! #1 - Evil Never Dies, so if you ever wanted to game with the author of a module you bought... here's a great opportunity! Also, this is a virtual con so no need to travel anywhere!!

Thanks for reading and for all of your support. This project simply would not happen without all of you!!  Please keep on sharing this project and lets knock out that final stretch goal.

Chris, Bob, Dan, Brett, and Raven

Hey everyone, Despite closing in on our last stretch goal, we haven't unlocked our free sticker. Our current number of backers surpasses the 100 people we need to do it.

Project Update: Timeline: what's done, what's in progress, when to expect it.

Hi everyone!

I recently updated the Shipping section of the project, but figured I'd save everyone a trip.

Here's where everything stands as of today. (If there's dot next to it, it's done.)


  • The manuscript is complete.
  • Additional town content from Stretch Goal #2 is in progress, to be done by mid November.
  • Editing and review process is complete.
    Layout process is in progress, to be done by end of November.
    Post-Layout review can take up to a week. Files hit printer by early December.
    Digital fulfillment happens when files go to the printer by early December.
  • Cover art and interior art are complete
  • Additional art from Dan (Stretch Goal #2) is complete.
  • All 4 maps (3+Bonus) by Bob are complete and submitted to our Cartographer (Brett).
  • First map (Crypt of the Chrono-lich) final art is complete.
  • Second map (The Holding of Elaro the Necromancer) final art is complete.
    Third map (Merchant Guild of Emerson) final art is in progress, to be ready by end of November.
    Fourth map final art should be ready by mid-December.
    Poster maps should be at the printer by mid-December.

We expect everything to be complete on our end by mid-December, with fulfillment beginning in January.

Here's a peek at the first two completed maps and the third in progress. (These are NOT final scans. Just low quality preview shots.)

(Not Final Scans)


We only have one stretch goal left, so if you guys want the extra content, we need to get the word out and unlock that final goal.

Thanks,

Chris
