[QUOTE="Timespike, post: 9079071, member: 29665"] There are a few things holding up the release at this point: 1. I am putting the finishing touches on the PDF for the printer, which, by the way, is looking [I]amazing[/I]. There are a couple of spots where I think it's almost skirting the line between game book and coffee table book in terms of visual presentation. I'm specifically proud of the negative-space dragon breath on one two-page spread. ;) I also need to do a cover design that includes a spine and back cover as part of that process. 2. Once the PDF is finished, I have a bunch of admin work to do to ensure everyone who worked on this gets paid properly before we release, but I'm hoping to do at least some of that while I'm waiting on the next step. 3. I need to order a print proof and make sure everything looks good. That, as I understand it, can take a while. (A couple of weeks). 4. I'm [I]hoping[/I] this will happen before I finish with the above, but we also need the new classes LUSRD to drop before we can publish. Previous PMG releases used the old ones that are no longer valid/available thanks to WotC's bad behavior in January. Depending on whether that includes the Artificer, there may also be another intermediate step in there. All of this adds up to, I [I]hope[/I], late August or early September, but some of it is gated behind circumstances beyond my control like POD turn-around times and a larger part is just that I've never done a 276-page product with this many visual bells and whistles before and I'm learning as I go. So please be patient. I promise, it'll be worth it! [/QUOTE]
