Broken World

I just stumbled across this. I love the inventive things people are doing with Dungeon World. If you are wondering why he doesn't just play Apocalypse World read his FAQ.

Getting ready for some Dungeon World tonight

New artwork has arrived from Richard. I'll have to post some soon. I've also finished a redesign of the whole deck so we will put some of the new cards up soon. We are quite happy with the new design and they add the monster names on a side so that the cards can be sorted into the custom boxes nicely. We are about to do another printing of all the monster cards and the two complete utility decks. Probably in a week or so we'll post some pictures of the cards in action even.

On another note - I actually handed in my PhD dissertation yesterday! Frees up a good chunk of time for us. I'm back to teaching this semester but all courses I've taught before so I should have ample time to get our campaign up and running. We also had some ideas about packaging the decks up and we are waiting some pricing information for that. We keep running the numbers because if there is one thing we don't want to mess up it is the funding.

I'll keep you posted. Tonight we play Dungeon World. A few new gamers coming to my table as well, should be fun. What are you doing tonight?

A Little Thing Called Holidays....

Hey all. Just checking in. Both Richard and I have been off on family vacations - he's still away. So things have slowed down to a crawl. I'm looking into alternative fulfillment options trying to make sure we are set up best for a successful delivery cycle. The big concern we have is timely delivery of pdfs. The pdfs will go out before the printed cards and we are looking at a few different files. If you've done this before we'd love to hear your thoughts on what worked and what didn't work well.

In terms of my current work load, I'm knee deep in redoing all the cards still. I had to stop work on that and actually work on a little project I'm almost done - a PhD thesis. I just got back great news from my director, the majority of it is good to go, just some changes with the last chapter and it is a wrap. But I'll try not to let that get in the way of the kickstarter. ;-)

Once the cards are redone we'll see what cards actually still need art. I think a good 1/3rd have final ready art - and that is including a bunch of cards we want to add on as stretch goals! Richard and I are going to be camping (with our families) weekend after this - I'm hoping we'll steal away a bit of time to finalize details either before or after our trip.
