Week in Review 10/27/13 Edition

Recap
Had a great time at Necronomicon, and had some great meetings with Richard Lee Byers and Ken Shannon about Fall of Man.

Working on getting artists lined up for Fall of Man once it reaches its goal, we have some old friends returning and some new friends coming on board.  Getting the licenses lined up as well as some sample pages for the Kickstarter, we have most of our quotes in so we are finalizing the budget and I am happy to say it is less than what I forecasted.

Boardgames are slowly moving forward.

The Awakened book I is in the final stages of getting printed and then shipped to customers.

Got the logo for the RPG this week, thanks Jhoneil!

Boring Work Stuff

One of the not so exciting things about publishing is getting printer quotes, I have been handling it and then passing it on to the partners.  I also got cost of envelopes and cost to ship to make sure we account for everything.

I think we are doing a great job on Fall of Man by making sure expenses are covered AND making sure it is inline with a 320 page hardbound book.

I am also lining up artists so when we hit our goal in December we can start getting art done right away to make sure

Weekly Update

I need to hold some stuff back so there will be some vague posting here.




Let's see:

The Awakened book I PDF should be out any day with the other eBook's soon after and the printed books should arrive in the warehouse in November ( I hope), remember I am not the publisher on this one so just getting updates from him.

The Awakened book II has been ordered, cover is ordered and it is moving along swimmingly.

The Awakened RPG is being discussed and I think the setting will be a pleasant difference to most settings.  We also have this tweak of the logo from Jhoneil:

Board games are moving along at different paces, so many more pieces to get set in motion.

Sam the Hanukkah Dragon meeting #2 is happening tomorrow, if there is anything to show I will post it.

Fall of Man is looking great, and we have added more veterans to the ranks, official PR blurb to be released tomorrow.  The art looks great so far, the writing is so unique and the ideas and twists keep coming.  The more we discuss it the more excited I am to get this launched in December.

I am doing a side project with Christina Stiles, Expanded Races for C&C, we should here more about it at the end of the week.  She just started her own line for C&C and it is about Kobolds, it can be found here: Fantasy Races Unlocked: Kobolds.

Downtime-HA!

I had a day off to do convention stuff for Nerconomicon, and since a publisher's work is never done, I was on the phone and emailing printers, confirmed a meeting on Tuesday, confirmed 2 meetings tomorrow at the convention. Watched the Great Gatsby (meh) and hung out with the dog.

Tomorrow we will be leaving before 8am to make sure we are on the road and make it early for my first panel.  My daughter will be attending as well, so that is fun!
