[Mini-Dungeon Tome] Status Update on PDF & Print Books
about 6 years ago
– Thu, Mar 22, 2018 at 11:58:34 PM
Good afternoon my friends!
I'm hopping on to provide a much needed update to the Mini-Dungeon Tome PDF and print schedule. As it stands we will be late on delivery for the print book but on time for PDF.
The Pathfinder RPG version is nearly complete, we're going through a few final edits in layout and working out bestiary glossary items but are getting very close. In order to submit our print files we'll need to complete both versions. Our goal is to get a non-interactive book-layout version of the PDF out to backers for review before sending it off to the printers. Once the printers have the layout there is a 3-month turnaround for production. We'll do the same for 5th Edition roughly 2 weeks after PFRPG versions go out. Finally, as you peruse the non-interactive version and the printer gets to work we'll be crunching out the handy interactive PDF version for PF and 5E which we'll send to backers via DTRPG just as soon as we have them done.
Sample Screenshots of the Mini-Dungeon Tome in layout below!
Here's a rough timeline and keep in mind, this is based on my current best estimates from the editing and layout teams:
April 1, 2018 - non-interactive PF MDT PDFs delivered
April 14, 2018 - non-interactive 5E MDT PDFs delivered
April 25, 2018 - interactive PDFs delivered for both PF & 5E
June/July 2018 - Print hardcovers delivered to backers, both systems
Thank you very much for your patience. Originally we hoped to deliver much earlier but discovered some bugs and also things we could do to improve the book (and thus your experience) which required some reworking. Ultimately our goal is to bring you the BEST Mini-Dungeon Tome possible so we crossed our fingers and hoped you wouldn't mind us being a little late in order to improve your final experience with this book.
I hope you're all having a great week, tomorrow is Friday! (Which means nothing for cooks, musicians, servers, etc. - all of which I've been) but still- please enjoy the day for this day will never come again!
Your friend in the plane of gaming,

Estimated Print Delivery Date

Hello my friends! I hope this message finds each and every one of you well this fine evening.
The past few weeks we've been crunching things in order to get files to the printer but due to various family emergencies (mentioned in previous updates) we have fallen behind schedule. Our print delivery date for the Mini-Dungeon Tome was estimated for April 2018 but now it's looking more likely to be a late May 2018 release. However, we do hope to have PDFs out to everyone by February/March.
I will keep you posted and appreciate your patience as we play catch up after team members spent quality time with their loved ones after great loss.
Happy Gaming my friends! Remember to appreciate those special people in your life and tell them how you feel while you still have the chance.

The conversion work, new artwork, and redone maps for the Mini-Dungeon Tome are now complete!
Editing is well underway and the original Mini-Dungeons have been completely revised for a smoother gaming experience. We're now moving into editing the stretch goal MDs as well as some of the special additions you unlocked in this Kickstarter. As editing is completed for each section of the book our layout artist Thomas Baumbach jumps right in to add the incoming Mini-Dungeons. With this method things should move along quite nicely and we're still on schedule for a hardcover delivery in April 2018, the PDF will come much sooner- perhaps early February!
I'm so excited to share the final book with you and look forward to using this book with my own personal gaming group. It's a truly useful tome which is looking beautiful in layout thus far.
I'll share some screenshots as we get closer to publishing the PDF!
Thank you all for your belief in us, we can't wait until you have the final book in hand.
Happy Gaming!

Mini-Dungeon Tome -- Conversions, editing, and artwork

Hello my friends!
We're well on our way to getting this book moving towards layout! All Mini-Dungeons have been written save the Larry Elmore adventure which is being fleshed out this week. Conversions have been done on nearly every single adventure thus they now exist for both PF and 5E. Editing has been underway for quite some time and we hope to finish mid-December if possible. Artwork by Mates Laurentiu is about 50% complete and Larry Elmore has finished his piece for the book.
I hope to send everything to layout early January and if everything goes well we might have the PDF by February. Thus far we're on schedule to complete the print book and deliver it on time and of course I'll keep you updated along the way.
I hope you all are having a special time with family during these holidays. Life is short and we must enjoy each and every person in our life, we never know when our time (or theirs) will come.
Happy gaming my friends. :)
