Release date – as someone very interested in the final product, i can read from different messages here and there that:
– the final core book will be around 200 pages
– the original release date was november 2015. Is there anything known about a new release date…?
Thanks already for the quick update!
With so many more writers onboard for the stretch goals it will have been pushed back a lot.
Well, AFAIK, the stretch goals are pdf only and won’t be in the core book.
It sounds like it will be more than worth the wait, though.
The bigger delaying factor was our feedback on the Quickstart rules. This meant the mechanics weren’t locked down until early January. Last I’ve seen John Harper was working on the Duskwall material with a nearing release date. (Nothing concrete was given)
As a random backer with no insight or official understanding, I’d guess probably sometime in 2016 but who knows. It’s done when John Harper says it’s finished.
I’m not argueing when it should be delivered, but on the other hand…no one will receive money for a finished pdf, from me on a quickstart which is not 50% of the final product. ( no matter how awesome it might look) and no mention of a final product delivery.
Good for you for knowing what you want to spend on! 🙂
I think the flip side of that is, if you don’t mind being part of development process, your input and experiences can help tighten the finished product. It’s a lot like early access in that way, but hopefully not as contentious. I personally feel ok about that, but I can see how others wouldn’t.
I forgot how much I backed the KS for, but I for one got my money’s worth a long time ago. The truly ridiculous amount of incoming material is just gravy.
Ah, i didnt kickstart…so all that gravy wouldn’t be for me. And I dont mind being part of a development process, if I’m getting paid for it :). On the other hand…the developer has received 150k+ of resources to do exactly that..so i’ll leave that process in his capable hands.
I’m just apprehensi e about these kind of ‘book is almost done’,and Hen its kickstarted…that’s when it looks like the entire thing needs to be written. Anyhow…enough complaining: i’ll just await the finished and fantastic product 🙂
I was referring to the approximately 150 more pages that the core book will contain as gravy, since the quickstart alone has already provided me with over a dozen (and counting) excellent sessions. The KS exclusive material of course brings the value proposition even higher, but that wasn’t relevant for you.
Is there a list with what there will be in the final release? Just to decide if make a run with the quickstart or wait
The main things that are missing are all the examples and the guide to Duskwall, which gives you more stuff to work with when you need to create material in the city.
Also, arcane powers and alchemy are pretty vague in the quick start.
Thx
I’ll probably give a short term run (5-6 sessions) to see how it works and so on, waiting to start a long term one with final release =D
Sounds like a good plan.
