I wonder if anyone noticed I sneakily swapped out new versions of the pages to add splash behind the art. >.>

i noticed on the champion, at least
Just compiled all the classes into a single working document...
42 pages. With only 1 piece of art for each class.
Mass Combat is another 10. Combat Traditions are already 8 and need more work. Neither have any art, yet. That's just 18 pages of text. Then there's the archetypes, the heritages, the combat synergies... I'm probably gonna make some Martial cultures, too... maybe a few new backgrounds.
This book, without monsters, is already bigger than Paranormal Power. And it needs more art.

I made a document for feedback on the classes. It's just a list of all of their class feature names in bullet point form so people can pick a feature and then add a comment on Google Docs.
JUST listing the class features is 8 pages. I blame the Sentinel. 11 class features for the Sentinel, an additional 9 (plus Synergy Training) for each companion. Really pads the class out quite a lot...
The Champion and Gunslinger are a page and 4 lines, give or take... The Warcaster is almost two pages. But -this- monster is FOUR pages long. Just listing abilities.

Update: Make that 12 once I included all the exploded abilities. Like how a reputation ability gives you 3 options. And then included all the Knacks as well...
Yeesh. No wonder this thing has taken me so long to write. I burned myself out pretty hard on those. Welp! Back to editing.

Starting in on the "Origins" section. 3 new heritages 4 or 5 new cultures, maybe a couple more backgrounds...
Yup! Two Sci-Fi/Sci-Fantasy heritages 'cause we've got the VRC, now, so why not?

Scratch that... 4 new heritages.
2 Sci fi, 2 Fantasy.
Though all four will, of course, work in Sci-Fi and Fantasy and Sci-Fantasy just as well.

At the rate this is going I assume it'll be about the size of MOAR:Complete when finished
I've commissioned the cover art. It'll be delivered in the next 8 to 12 weeks.
After that I need new art for these four heritages. And then I'll be ready to Kickstart and get the art requests for the 5 pieces that get added to the book.
There's no way to deliver it the day the Kickstarter ends, unlike last time.
So I've got time to make it bigger, yeah.
My current plan is to release a "Placeholder PDF" with the art that exists at the end of the Kickstarter in place, along with all the material. Then get into layout while the last 5 pieces are being made with space "Set Aside" for them at specific points in the book.
(But I'll probably wind up continuing to write during the Kickstarter just to keep adding more material)
Then? Get the whole thing compiled and structured as a PDF, and send the material to the printers for prep and printing.
