I've got a few updates for you, and then a poll I'd love to hear from you on at the bottom of this update (as well as a sneak peek at some new art from the next book)!
Like I said in the last update, there were a few errors caught in the book while doing the final review before printing. The updated file has now been added to your downloads here on BackerKit.
Additionally, I will be sending out copies of the PDF for Tome of Intangible Treasures and Injuries and Vile Deeds on DriveThruRPG later today, as well as the token pack for Tome of Intangible Treasures. If you've enjoyed the book so far, please leave it a 5-star review to help others find it!
Shard VTT Release
The book is now out on Shard, and codes have been sent to backers who opted for this VTT version.
Print-At-Home Cards
Files for the print-at-home cards have also been sent out on BackerKit, and will be shared on DriveThruRPG later today as well.
Print Timeline
Nearly all of the files are now approved for print - there's just one file left to be changed, and a couple more to be approved. This means that printing can get underway very soon! I've changed manufacturers for the dice as the original manufacturer wasn't good with communication and had me worried about them following directions for the final version. The new manufacturer has already made their first sample, and while there are some changes left to make I already know it was a good idea to switch to them. Hopefully the sample process won't cause any delays in getting the full set of products ready for shipping, but I'll keep you updated as I know more there.
Roll20 and Foundry Timelines
Both of these are still in active development. Roll20's progress has slowed a little as the person I was working with has had to take a temporary step back from the project, but they've offered to guide me through the conversion process as I work on it myself so things are still on track there.
Tome of Intangible Treasures II Poll!
Last October I polled everyone about what project they wanted to see me work on next, and resoundingly the answer was for a followup book to Tome of Intangible Treasures! Although the cover art is still a work in progress and the pre-launch page is still forthcoming, I wanted to tell you a little more about it and get some feedback on things I'm considering for the crowdfunding campaign.
This book will be a 5e-compatible collection of intangible rewards and monsters that provides rules for a Ritual system with which characters can enchant themselves and party members with boons and charms using parts harvested from monsters. A guide will also be included with the book for using everything in it with the Crafting and Harvesting systems presented in Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting, and it will be officially compatible with those systems when released.
Since there are monsters in the book, and some of them like this Executioner Devil seem like they'd make a great mini...I'm thinking it'd be cool to do minis!
Illustration of the Executioner Devil by Todd Ulrich
My question for you all then is: Do you prefer minis of the most impressive looking monsters (even if this means they trend toward higher CRs), monsters at all tiers of play (you'd want an even spread of CRs), or primarily lower CR monsters (presumably would get used more frequently)?
