My oh my, I am so slow.


This is mostly to let you know the status of things. I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through my edits. Large portions have been removed while others were completely replaced. I am a one-person team doing the world alone from edits to drawing to layout design so it sort of all is slowed by my pace. 

While doing this, I've completely redone the layout design and format. A literal 100% shift to embrace a design ethos I prefer and one that's easier to manage as well because it's not a book format, but a console spread. I wanted to show you what I mean by drastic change so below you will find the current intention.


I've also considered putting the full map in the background as well. Like so. 


Some people think it is too busy. Some people have liked it. I'm still undecided so feel free to leave your opinion in the comments. 

I've also started roughing out the temple ruins that are introduced at the very end of the adventure so maybe I can start testing that out before too long. ... and I just noticed Area 5 isn't properly justified. Geez. Oh well. I'll need to fix that and Iso's card because I changed some of that layout design too.

*sighs* 

Heh heh. Back to the grind. I hope I can finish this before the end of the month. But I said that in February before I truly understood what a large undertaking I was engaging in with some of the changes I was making.

First off: Great progress! You got this!

Second comment - I like the map idea but the current contrast is a little hard to read and the background image might bog down e-readers a bit (like Paizo image-heavy PDFs). You could always do both - have a "full" and a "lite" version.

This may be the best compromise. I haven't really thought about e-readers and how they handle it, just pdf readers. I should probably give that a ponder. 

But thanks for the encouragement. 11 days to try to meet that target of before months end.
