Well, it’s a new year with new challenges. The Bestiary has shipped as a PDF (along with the adventure “A Giant Pain”). Both of these are in hardcopy proofing right now, and the proof for AGP got mailed out today and is in the capable hands of the USPS. …I’m not sure if that’s sarcasm. …
WHAT HAPPENED:I’ve been rocking my face off trying to get the Bestiary on par visually with WotC’s Monster Manual, taking depression-breaks as necessary. Andrew has been offering advice and constructive/destructive criticism all the while. 😀 I’m glad I’ve got people that’ll tell me when I’ve got a bad idea, but not be a douche about …
WHAT HAPPENED:I made the mistake of doing some market research today. I looked at (for the first time, if you can believe it) the 5E DMG and Monster Manual to see what the Loyal Opposition was doing. And I was blown away. Just looking at the Monster Manual alone made me feel very small and …
WHAT HAPPENED:Short post today.Oh wow. I’ve got a metric ton of monsters here and now I’m trying to figure what should go in the Bestiary. I think this is something like the third time I’ve come at this now. I’ve broken the “short list” up into several categories: “Undead”, “Molds, Slimes, Oozes, Jellies, & Puddings”, …
WHAT HAPPENED:Once again, I have NO idea what I’m doing. I’m trying to get the layout for this Bestiary in the can, and I’m just not feeling it. I don’t mean that I don’t want to do it, I mean that nothing I do screams “YES!!” to me. At least the pictures are pretty. All …
WHAT HAPPENED:I am deep in this Bestiary work. I’ve been trying to come up with a new look for the book, and I’m peeking at the WotC Monster Manuals for the last few editions for inspiration. I have to be careful not to copy any of their stuff, but I can sure be inspired by …
WHAT HAPPENED:Did some work on Mass-IV today, getting the spellbook description generator up and running. It’s not great, but it does work for my limited testing here tonight. I showed it to Dan and he immediately felt the need to clean up some of my sloppy code LOL. I’m not even through implementing features, much …
WHAT HAPPENED:I added about 20 weapons to Mass-IV today, and installed the natural weaponry for beastfolk – just not wired up yet.Wrote some more monsters, until I got to the Living Spell. I wasn’t aware there was a can of worms to open here, much less a barrel. This creature is going to be super …
WHAT HAPPENED:Wow. I’ve been slacking. I should post more.Work on the Bestiary continues apace, and several really interesting monster images have been made. .This week’s Monster of the Week is one of my absolute favorites – the Husk. I love how it turned out! You should be able to click that name and see the …
WHAT HAPPENED:Had to do a WordPress Database update. The CMS is still slow.I woke up this morning to find that the print copy of Cookie! (A Horror Story) was rejected on August 5th by LightningSource because it was missing files. The files I gave to DTRPG for printing. I also discovered that it was accepted …
