[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8539692, member: 326"] Hey all, just to clarify what's taking so long here (aside from the tragedies I've experienced in 2020 and 2021). Basically my initial plan was for a 'mere' epic bestiary with 27 monsters; which was going to be a 64-80 page book a good chunk of which was nearly finished around this time last year. But I didn't think 'that' book was epic enough and the monster list wasn't diverse enough for my tastes either. I reworked the ideas, doubled the monster count (which then further trickled over 60 these past months), then decided well I'll have to explain the power of gods, so added a big section on rules for immortals, which then necessitated portfolios...and an epic magic system and so forth and then before I knew it the book just exploded into a 300 page behemoth. Which of course necessitated triple the art and the time doing all these layouts. So in a nutshell I just got carried away, let my imagination run riot and the book itself became an unruly monster. Ultimately, this will all be worth it, BUT as most of you know, I'm not the fastest writer and its easy (for me) to get stuck on a page, rework a game mechanic, tweak a stat-block or just come up with a completely new monster and convince myself it MUST be included. I have a rough idea when I expect to be finished. I won't say when that is until I am sure (other than yes sometime this year*) but it won't be the next 3 months at least. * 🤞 [/QUOTE]
