[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8746426, member: 326"] Howdy Lunar Squid amigo, :) I could still have the book finished by the end of the year (early editing of portions should start next week). I have some time off work coming soon and making big progress during that time will let me know when it will be finished - so I should be able to give a finish date by the end of October. That said, even assuming the book is finished in (lets say for the sake of argument) December, I'll still need to do the pre-Kickstarter hype/marketing and so forth - that's probably the part I am least confident about. But I may release a chapter of the Bestiary section for free as a sort of teaser/playtest style pdf, when I get it done (in the time between having the book finished and the Kickstarter launch). Unlike other Kickstarters I should be ready to go to print as soon as I receive the money. On the plus side everything is finally starting to condense. I had some game mechanics issues which are all now sorted 🤞 and as I said, early editing of some stat-blocks should begin next week (by people other than me). I'm reasonably confident the game mechanics and progression stats are as solid as I can get them, but I will wait and hear what my editors say. Still some art to be finished (including a new cover which I have not commissioned yet), maybe 15 colour pieces and around 15 b&w pieces (but I already have over 100 pieces of art completed so the art is approx. 75%+ done). The book is shaping up to be 400 pages, I'll try my best not to go over that. Adding the Kosmos chapter (because I am a complete idiot and couldn't help myself) just bumped the book up by 64 pages (and half of that chapter is colour art). So hang in there a bit longer. I know the wait seems interminable, but it will all be worth it when you see the final product. ;) [/QUOTE]
