Tangent V. Getting Organized for the Next Two Months

Security Officer size comparison by Geng Gendall.

June is coming to an end and July 1st will mark the 2 month push to get ready for the Broken Contract - Deep Underground Kickstarter. Between now and then there will be a lot to do. I'm in the midst of a 5 week Photoshop course that I'm already putting into practice every day so that I can do mock ups and promotional stuff to take the pressure off Sam and Geng so that they can do what they do.

This is just a very rough mock up, but it gives an idea of the information that the Stat Cards will have on it.

A lot of the text for the Kickstarter page has been in place for months now but I need to go through and streamline it. I do still have to set up the pledge levels and stretch goals. I mapped those out in January but a lot has changed since then so those need an overhaul.

Geng is working on concept art between other illustrator gigs, and Sam is in the midst of a large piece meant to be the cover art. Tim Barry has the first sculpt done and that should be unveiled later this week. Still, we need to obviously knock out several more concepts and a few more sculpts before the big launch.

Then there's also lots of promotional stuff to have squared away: teaser videos, the actual Kickstarter video, a game play explanation video, etc. Plus, there's more play testing to be done and some of the graphic design work needs to be hammered out for the book, cards, and board sections in time for the launch. These are going to be two very busy months indeed, but its all very exciting. Thank you to everyone who's been following this journey, it is genuinely appreciated!

I Wanna Be Your Dog: Canines in DCC

Last year I started a Dungeon Crawl Classics group with my friends. For those that don't know, Dungeon Crawl Classics is meant to be D&D like it is 1975, and touts the catch phrase, "Deadliest Game Alive". During Character Creation one of the characters in our 0-level funnel came up as a herder with a herding dog. The dog, Fetch, has outlived their herder master, and became a beloved Character in a very lethal game. Not surprisingly, the players pushed for Fetch to have the ability to advance. Here is the first draft of the rules if you are interested in my take on Canine Player Characters in DCC. I Wanna Be Your Dog Canines in Dungeon Crawl Classics by Nick Baran Art by Nerdgore You’re running a 0-Level Funnel for a group of players who are all dog people. One of the Characters comes up as a Herder with a Herding Dog, and before you know it, the dog is the most cherished member of the party. Treasure be damned, as long as the dog survives!
