I have delivered to Russ the nigh-finalized version of Adventure Six, Revelations from the Mouth of a Madman, which he should be putting up for gold subscribers soon. I believe we'll be going to layout after Eric finishes laying out To Slay a Dragon (Russ, do I have that right?), but if in the meanwhile people note any typos, errors, confusions, or the like, let us know so we can spare the general public.
The other ZEITGEIST development is that we're planning a Kickstarter to produce a hardcover compilation, and we'd like your opinions on what would appeal to you and what rewards for backers you might like.
Ideally we'd like to produce a whole-campaign hardcover, but it would be over a year before we could even start production. Plus the book would be ginormous. We could instead just produce one book per arc of the series, something along the lines of:
(Not so sure about the titles.)
If the hardcovers attract enough attention, it would help us get more art and maps, both to flesh out encounters that had none originally (I'm still sad we didn't have maps for the cities along the railroad, or battle maps for the Theater of Scoundrels), and to cover the costs of future adventures, which would help us get them out more promptly. Plus, y'know, paying hard-working writers more for their labor.
For rewards, I'm thinking aside from actual copies, we might do poster maps and NPC cards, but I'd love other suggestions.
What do you think?
