I have to say I got quite excited about the premise of this book. Yes, agree - the premise seems to lend itself to HQG, and sets the stage for a longer campaign into adulthood. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted April 3 Glad it sounds interesting! We're aiming for a release later this month. So far our playtesters (our normal HQG group we drafted to help) has been having a lot of fun so we're hopeful. We've got some surprises in store for the rest of the saga where we've drifted from canon we hope people like as well! Barring MORE crazy times we are hoping we can get book two out toward the end of the year to keep the ball rolling. 6 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeartQuintessence 110 Report post Posted April 5 Its very clearly "Toss a coin to your.. writer.. wyter...." which fits better, both are appropriete? But I am loving to see that this world is developed via the fans going out and diving into glorantha. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted April 9 A bit of a spoiler. Adult initiation can be deadly. Just ask my character who is trapped in the underworld and with any luck will be rescued by the other Wildlings. 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted April 10 One of our players is out next week so we'll have to wait another week to see how it goes. But here's hoping a new character isn't required. Although, I have ideas...I always have ideas. Should be good. It's not like said character winds up doing things without thinking or worrying about consequences and...yea. Gonna go work on that character idea! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted April 26 In smaller news, my character was saved! Although a god in a turnip did take a brief interest in her so I am not sure how that will go... In bigger news, and more exciting, we've sent the draft of Valley of Plenty off to our proofreader. Once it is back from him it goes to our layout artist. We're hoping for a 2-3 week turnaround total, but it may be longer. The cover was delivered to us last week and it is amazing. So close, folks! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted May 10 This is not the final cover, a few more tweaks to make, but here's the near complete cover for Valley of Plenty. Edits are complete. We've sent the book off to our layout guru and when she is done it gets a final round of edits and will be ready to go into your hands. If the cover isn't enough, here's a nice splash page peek as well. The "poor kid" in our playtest game has had quite the adventure. He's nearly started a feud by some PCs not thinking when daring him to do something. Typical kid stuff! 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted May 31 Hey, y'all! Quick update! Dixie is rounding in on the finish line. Yay! It should definitely be worth the wait. Once we have the final layout from her we'll do a last proof of it. Our intent (barring weirdness) is to release the pdf after the pod proof is accepted and we are just waiting for the proof of the pod to arrive for us to thumbs up. Which means about a 3 week lag (approximately) from pdf to pod release. We hope this makes it easier for those wanting pod to wait and get the pdf and pod together. We are going to shoot for releasing both at the same time for the remainder of the Saga, but make no promises. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted June 5 We've had a pdf proof last weekend from our layout artist. Dixie IS an artist. And I've done a final proof of it. We're waiting now for news from her on the corrections and the final version. So close. I promise as soon as we have a finished product, we will be getting it into everyone's hands! Well, not everyone, but anyone who wants. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted June 8 I have just looked over the final pdf copy with bookmarks and links. We're waiting on the final pod copy. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aprewett 38 Report post Posted June 8 Hi, I am in Australia, I would like to get the pod/PDF combo (assuming such), but I don’t want the pod shipping (assuming it’s US printed?) until after this virus thing settles down. I already have other gaming books coming from over seas and one appears lost. Is there a solution? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted June 8 DTRPG does shipping from the US and the UK. I don't know what shipping is like from the UK to Australia. It may be worse than from the US? I'm leaving it to you to know better. Sorry. We will be offering a POD/PDF bundle. It is going to take about 3 weeks for the POD proof to reach us, assuming their staff give it a quick approval. We've experience with preparing print for DTRPG so don't anticipate problems, but one never knows. I believe if you order a PDF you can upgrade later by contacting DTRPG directly, but I don't know about time limits on such. For that you'd want to reach out to their customer service.

Minion1stClass 180 Report post Posted June 8 And...in other news... https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316797/Valley-of-Plenty The POD is not ready. Give it about a month with the speed of things. You CAN upgrade to a POD later if you order the PDF now. The PDF only is $24.95 and the POD/PDF will be $35.95. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn Carpenter 289 Report post Posted June 9 4 minutes ago, JonL said: You had me at Elmal. You should like our version the Dundealos tribe, then. They are all about Elmal! We've also included a non-cannon cult for one of Elmal and Redalda's daughters, Andred. Andred is the goddess of justice, the blow wisely struck, and deferred victory. You'll learn a lot more about her in book 3, when her cult adjusts to the Dundealos' new circumstances in the Poljoni Marches. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
