Vikings D20

[Fenris]

Well, if everyone agrees with Fenris, then I'm pretty much done.

Yeah!

I'll make sure we post another demo to appease the masses though.

Double Yeah!

OK Le, once you recieve a manuscript, what's the lead time to press? 6 months?

Yeah!

I will have to take a page from the Blizzard HR book and say "it will be released when it's done".

I really won't have an idea until I see it. There are a number of issues that could crop up. The biggest one I can think of right now is the paper size. Vidar uses A4, whereas the core pdf customer is American and uses 8.5x11. So that could cause serious layout issues which Vidar and I will work through. That itself will cause some delays.

Regardless, we will keep everyone informed of the progress.

I just found this thread through a link in another discussion. Count me in as another buyer for this when you finally feel ready to release it.

Could you not just scale the A4 to letter size, or is it somewhat more complicated than a simple shrinking of everything?

It's more complicated, because it causes problems with the formatting and layout, especially with images.

Glad to see this is making it out. Having done my dissertation many years ago on Viking Age cosmology, I don't like the word myth-its an archaeology thing , social structure and burial practice and how they inter-relate, I've been fascinated with the culture and the world view it supported, and vice versa. Can't wait to see how you use such rich source material in the game.

There's enormous amounts of source to choose from, certainly. Which is part of the reason this has taken so much longer than I anticipated; there's no way I can use it all, so I have to pick and choose what to work in and what to leave out. After some serious trimming, the book is now only 2.5 times as long as I first planned.

A Two-year anniversary bump (well OK a day early)

 

[Jolly Giant]

Has it really been that long? Well, their won't be third, I can promise you that much!

But tonight I am actually celebrating a 3 year birthday; that of my oldest daughter.

Unless something goes terribly wrong, I'll be mailing the completed script to Le next week. Just thought you'd like to know...
