FUNDS HAVE ARRIVED!
Hey hey hey. Soooooo, the funds have landed in GO's bank account, there are still some stragglers here and there, but the bulk is here. This means i can now start setting up the pledge manager, which will probably take a week or two - need to make sure all shipping quotes work, all rewards are uploaded correctly, etc etc etc - then it goes live. When it's live, you will be able to see your rewards, add another boxset to your pledge if you so wish, add dice (we have packs of FLAIL custom dice!) and maybe t-shirts. Does anybody want t-shirts? I can probably get some t-shirts going.
ALSO,
PRODUCT DESIGN!
I know some people like a behind-the-scenes look into game design... so, how about some product design?! I've been going back and forth with a supplier to create a custom space in the Hexcrawl Toolbox for people
to store the hexes (18x per biome). This is what we have so far. The idea is that the punch-boards with all the hexes go on top, you punch them all out, and then sort them into their designated spaces. I'm still evaluating whether this actually works or not; it might be the case that too much space is left over after people punch out the hexes.
But I wanted to share this so you can see that these things take a good amount of time.
This is the third design the supplier has come up with over the last 3–4 weeks and we're still perfecting it. So many things to consider: final weights and sizes (so that shipping calculations still remain valid), how much space is left after the punch-boards go away, how tight can the custom spaces be so that we have more of them, how the toolbox behaves if it gets knocked over or stored on its side, how it all looks when the lid is off (presentation matters!), and so forth. Not easy.
ALSO,
PATREON DROP!
I keep dropping content for FLAIL over on
Patreon! There's already a bunch of adventures in there, and i've just started a new collection with extra content. This time, I wrote a bunch of new Cutthroat Guilds, as follows. Check it out!
-
The Midnight Exchange: syndicate of brokers that move illegal goods.
-
The Ashen Hand: arsonists, saboteurs and revolutionaries who burn down corrupt nobles, kings, etc.
-
The Mourning Bells: union of corpse-bearers and grave mourners that rob the dead before burial.
-
The Black Banner: professional battlefield scavengers who follow wars to loot the dead.
