Production Update September 15th: PDF Fulfillment Commencing
about 7 years ago – Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 06:18:31 PM

Pathfinder PDF

Fulfillment began just now!  Check the email you indicated in your Kickstarter survey for a notification from .

Pathfinder Hardcopy

The files were rejected by the printer because of a spine width issue... I'm investigating with RPGnow but this issue has never happened to me before, and I followed the exact same required process.

5E PDF

Surprise!  The 5E conversion is complete.  Fulfillment will begin later this afternoon.  

Premium Atlas PDF

Fulfillment will begin later this afternoon.

Premium Atlas Hardcopy

(As a reminder, all backers will get a discount code for an at-cost copy of this.)

Also rejected first try for the same reason as the PFRPG version hardcopy.  Investigating.

5E Hardcopy  

Submitted for printer review!

Issues & Missing PDFs

Sometimes it takes up to a day or so for RPGnow to send notifications out.  For those entitled to a PDF of Berinncorte Basecamp, if you don't receive a notification from RPGnow by midday tomorrow (Saturday 16-Sep), please message me for resolution.

Production Update: September 13th (PFRPG Completed)

Pathfinder Edition

Pathfinder version is now complete.  I'm uploading the files now and will finalize the publication over the next day or so.  The book ended up being 797 pages long, so those files are churning and roiling away.

My aim would be to begin PDF fulfillment to applicable backers by the end of this week.

I'm hoping to order my hardcopy proof also by the end of the week.

5E Edition

Conversion will begin next week, if not before.  In a sense, 90% of the conversion is already completed, as the crunch for all NPCs and monsters is already done; it's just a matter of 

Map Pack

Unlocked as a Stretch Goal, you'll all be receiving >210 MB of the book's ultra-high-resolution (~4K) map files, in both GM and Player-redacted versions.

I'll also be publishing a hardcopy version of these map files as a Premium Atlas.  

As a special thank-you for your patience, you'll all be receiving a discount code to get the hardcopy of the Atlas at-cost.

I'm hoping to begin fulfillment of this by end of week as well.

 

Content Finished! Final Review in Process

Content for Berinncorte Basecamp is now completed.  Whew!

I'm now doing a final once-over, to fit and polish and ensure it's all ready to go.  If I were a betting man, I'd say I'll fulfill the Pathfinder PDF, and order my proof hardcopy, by end of the week.  

5E PDF should only take a week, so PDF fulfillment and that proof order should happen by the 22nd.

As ever, thank you for your patience.

Onward!

Vacation Update
about 7 years ago – Thu, Sep 07, 2017 at 06:36:06 PM

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend to whom that applies.

I'm on vacation with my family for the next few days; productivity to resume next week in earnest.

I'd hoped to finish Berinncorte Basecamp by the end of August, but alas, real life intervened, with a lot of day job work and several child illnesses. Should finish by the end of next week and then begin PDF fulfillment. Onward!

Production Update: August 30th

Happy birthday to me... we're nearly at the finish line!  

Still roughly target to finish the book content by end of next week.  I'm very psyched about the progress and cannot wait to wrap it up.

I will have to do some editing, hopefully over the weekend but it may push PDF publishing into next week.

Also, to reiterate my approach with these books: I compose everything for Pathfinder, and then convert to 5E.  So the timing we've been discussing is around the Pathfinder version of the book; it will take me the first week or two of September to convert stuff to 5E.  All of the monsters and NPCs are already converted, so it's really just a matter of tweaking things like treasure, traps, and so on; it should therefore be much quicker than DO1's conversion was!

Thanks as always for your patience!

Onward!
