New QF #2 Art, Monthly Program Tweak, and Development Update
🕑 Added 2022-09-21 02:41:01 +0000 UTCMONTHLY PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT
Starting this month, instead of two quest fronts monthly (one free and another patron-exclusive), we will work on providing two materials (one free and one patron-exclusive). These materials might be quest fronts, oracles, additional assets (not part of the Vaults & Vows pack), artifacts (our take on magic items for the Ironsworn system), or something else, potentially a in-depth Ironcrunch revision with the Starforged SRD.
This will allow us to have more creative freedom, explore some territories Nando and I have been wanting to get into for a while, and have more diversity to offer to those who support us.
QUEST FRONTS UPDATE: ART
As we continue to develop the content of Quest Fronts - Issue #2, Nando has been catching up with the quest fronts that have been made public so far. Here are some new pieces of art.
A Cartographer's Need is the only 2-page quest front we have done so far, and it has a special layout art because of it.
A new spread artwork for Taming the Myth:
This version of the chimera of the Ironlands is shown in Living Offal in spread pages:
The Quest Fronts Compendium PDF that can be found in the Lorekeeper Rewards post has been updated accordingly. The link there to the Google Drive with the Artist's Workshop folder has also been updated with many concept arts, discarded drafts, and some other stuff.
We will provide you with some behind-the-scenes and making-of videos and images of these art pieces in the upcoming weeks and months.
QUEST FRONTS #2 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
For the first issue of the Quest Fronts magazine, we aimed to adhere to the low fantasy setting of the Ironlands. The second issue will follow this route, but it will offer, additionally, fronts that correspond to a dark fantasy version for the Ironlands; we're talking vampires, werewolves, wraiths, and undead. Later on, for the third issue, we want to cover high fantasy; that before jumping into sci-fi in a fourth issue.
Right now, there are 12 quest fronts for the second issue of the magazine, giving us 4 left fronts to produce, for a total of 16. The artworks of the written fronts are currently being made at a higher speed, as you can see.
We will continue to share these art updates with you as we continue to work on the second issue of the magazine.
VAULTS & VOWS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Sofía Peralta assets design was something that strongly inspired us to work on making her vision come to fruition in a published product. So far, it is coming solid and very pretty. We are very proud of how it is turning, and we will continue to post each set of cards monthly, steadily, until all the cards are fully packed for a final release, both digitally and physically.
INFLATION ADJUSTMENT
We recently received this email from OneBookShelf.
We decided not to use the opt-in form, but are still considering if we are going to increase the price tags of our products in the store. If we decide to do this, it will be by the end of this month or the following.
You patrons are not affected by this because you receive complimentary digital copies, and discount codes with minimum cost of production for POD whenever we published a final product. Still, it is worth disclosing the reasoning behind it if we decide to make this move.
Thank you for supporting this endeavor. May our vows be fulfilled.
