[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5784890, member: 326"] Hey Rhuarc mate! :) Thanks. Today I got... - The back cover blurb sorted. - I fixed the previews page at the back of the book. - The adventure text is about 80% complete. - Designed a new eternity publishing logo (but I still need to scan it in and tweak it on photoshop) Lets see whats left to do... 1. Tiny bit of work to the Boss Monster rules (basically just needs a thorough read through and tightening up). 2. Those two wendigo powers I still haven't solved. 3. The uktena artifact is about 50% completed. 4. Logo needs scanned and tweaked on photoshop. 5. The adventure needs about 20% more work done (writing) and the maps finished. I think I'll have all the above (except the maps) finished for Friday. At that point, it'll just need a bit of a read through, spellchecking and so forth (shouldn't need much spellchecking because I have been over every paragraph about 50 times). :) Now, one thing I have contemplated is asking artist Peter Szmer to effectively "colour in" the Wendigo illustration so that we can go ahead with a colour cover. I mean I always wanted to use the colour Kali cover, but Kali has nothing to do with the first or third books, so I can't rightly use it for them. Plus if I use the Kali cover for book 2, the three will look out of place plus it will be confusing when I put all 3 together for the 160 page version and use the Kali piece as the cover. Lets not get too ambitious! :p I had a look over [B]Vampire Bestiary: Temple of Death[/B] and here is what is completed for the second book: - All the Thuggee pages (barring a few tactics paragraphs) = Finished (14 pages) - All the Kali Cult pages (barring a few tactics paragraphs) with the exception of the Aspect of Kali herself = Finished (10 pages...14 with Kali) - Wights section (except for tactics on one wight) = Finished (2 pages) So what needs done: - Kali stat-block is only = 50% complete (4 pages) - Thuggee Hideout/Temple of Kali Traps = 50% complete (2 pages) - Vampire Monster stat-blocks = about 20% complete (10 pages) - Adventure = 10% complete (10 pages) - Contents page and Table of monsters listed by Level (2 pages). So thats about 26 pages more or less finished and 28 pages that still need a healthy dose of work done. ...I think I also need to ask Peter to do 2-3 more illustrations for book 2. On paper, book 2 looks like about a months work...which probably means it'll take me longer than that. :o Book 3 I'll take a closer look at some other time, but I think its about 15 Pages finished with another 25 pages partially done and the 10 page Adventure needs completely done. I'll keep doing these updates (on any non-working night, and I am back to work this Friday through Monday) because its helping me get a clearer picture of what needs done and its also spurring me on a bit, which can only be a good thing. ;) [/QUOTE]
