Hard cover B&W and Color proofs of QUASAR Corebook  have been459723.thumb.png.121c92fc134fd838953fe32234cdbea2.png ordered! 😎
3-5 weeks wait for printing and delivery before I can proofread and hopefully release books for public consumption 

I've started work on PoD for STAR SYSTEMS in hardback as well.

Been a rough couple weeks but I think I finally have QUASAR STAR Sytems and Starship Construction ready for Print on Demand approval from DTRPG. Actually had Systems done a few days ago but found some errors that required attention.

 Still waiting on QUASAR Core printed books to be delivered for proof reading...

 Also working on the first QUASAR Adventure Scenario. Mapping out a Frieghter, shuttle, and vital parts of a Starport. Think every Scenario I create will have deck maps for starships vital to the Scenario, download(75).jpeg.df0c70894ec20c737defbef070ef4520.jpegso each book will also give that bonus material.

I like the spinning black hole best.

That's one one of my players recommended since it's more QUASARish. Thanks for your response 👍 

My eldest prefers the Saturn GIF 🤷‍♂️

I like the top one, too. 

We just had a eclipse so the second one seems sort of "ho-hum". Now if you added a spaceship in front of the dark object (ala Forbidden Planet) it would look more Sci-FI ish.

The third one just looks like Saturn (or some other ringed gas giant) which is okay, but it seems like a typical company logo that you see on a car, photocopier or refrigerator.

Since the game is named Quasar, a quasar would seem to be the proper logo. I think if you brightened the center of the black hole, and the white light emission from the center,  it would be perfect.

Just got the proof copy of CORE Book and it's got a few errors I want to correct before releasing it on DTRPG. 
STAR SYSTEMS proof is being printed as I type so I'll get it to proof read in a couple weeks.
STARSHIP CONSTRUCTION just got approved by DTRPG and is on its way to printers for approval by them. 
*PHEW* It's been a busy month!

I'll be working on the first module more as I wait for these to wrap up.

 Decided on calling modules "Chronicles". Feel kinda silly that that title escaped me since I still call the GM the Chronicler in QUASAR. 😀Attach144698_20240415_200623.jpg.bba1587032e97f515d3e8da7c0f2f4fa.jpg

Just go with Affinity Publisher, it is WAY cheaper, and does (almost) everything InDesign can do. 

 
 

Or, if you use Linux or open source software, Scribus. Ah, too late you have Affinity. Never mind.

Just ordered hard copy proof of Starship Construction and Identification so I should receive that for proof reading in 4-5 weeks.

Just received first hardback proof of Star Systems for my QUASAR RPG! 
Printers did a stunning job. It's beautiful! So excited to get the trilogy proofed and released!

Dog Star? You can't be Sirius.

It looks pretty good in hard copy, although maybe the glossy paper is a little too reflective on camera to do it justice.

 

 

P.S. Hey that's Altair. No Altair IV (anymore)?

Im so excited by the hardback copy. I think it's beautiful!

The pages are actually less glossy than I thought they would be. The sunlight coming in the window might have messed with the camera a little bit. It was just a snapshot, not a professional photo 😎

Don't worry about it. It actually a much better sign to see the author of a RPG product getting excited  fanboying over it, as opposed to just releasing more "product." It reminds me of the old days where game designers would rush off to show each other what they did. 

 

P.S. You should post a sneak peek pic from the other books too. Dog optional. It might boost sales.

I definitely will when I have them!

Had to fix some formatting errors in the core book and reorder another proof. 

Starship Identification book was sent to printers for first proof 11 days ago.

Waiting for those to arrive...and NOT patiently 😀

Not sure that was one of the options. 😀

Send them the picture! You might start a trend.
