Things have been quiet around here lately because I’ve been frittering away on a number of projects. One is a lengthy series of essays that I’ll be posting here once they’re done… but they’re not done yet, so you’ll have to wait a little longer.
And one of the reasons they’re not done is because I’ve been working hard to finish up Legends & Labyrinths.
Basically, the current status of L&L is pretty easy to sum up: Flaking artists.
This was to be anticipated. Unfortunately, some of the outstanding pieces are actually crucial: The cartography for the Tomb of the Crypt Spiders bonus; the character sheet; and one of the pieces I’m contractually bound to include in the printed book as a sponsor reward. The character sheet is probably not 100% essential, but I literally can’t print the book without providing that last one. I probably should have pulled the plug sooner and moved onto a different artist.
Expect more preview stuff in the near future. And for those of you who missed the 8-Bit sponsorship but have been hammering my e-mail to know when the book will be available for general sale: You have been heard. There will be a pre-order system set-up, but it will probably not be made available until the book is ready to go.
I am surprised to hear there’s delay on the character sheet; I thought the one at the end of August looked pretty good. http://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/7660/roleplaying-games/legends-labyrinths-beta-character-sheet
Thanks for the update.
Sorry to hear this. Really looking forward to the final product, despite some criticisms I have made about specific sections.
Hey Justin,
I’m looking forward to more essays! I keep rereading your previous ones, even though I haven’t run a campaign in a while (>20 months).
I’ll keep my eyes open for that pre-order too. Can’t wait.
Best,
Same here. I just discovered your website about a month ago and have been reading through the archives. I also can’t wait until the pre-order.
I’m sorry to hear about your art troubles. As an artist, I can understand both sides of the issue, but it is always disappointing when an artist can’t fulfill their promises. If you need a cartographer, send me an email; my work speaks for me:
