I've been plugging away at editing and fleshing everything out, formatting stat blocks and general layout, all the things. We ran a short playtest of the first couple of areas (the Fallen Abbey and the Cloisters) last week, and it went pretty well! The game is statted for Shadowdark, which is a little fiddlier than I usually play, but still a lot of fun, and everything is easier to back-port into something lighter like Cairn or Into the Odd or SDM or whatever you like, and I might try it in one of those, soon.
Right now, everything needed to technically run the adventure is there—creatures are more or less fully statted, items are there, locations are all filled out (or at least sketched out). I need to update most of the maps (there's a lot of detail missing, and a few things have changed structurally) and do a *lot* of editing and massaging of the text for layout—I switched to two columns from one for several reasons, but I think it's the right move. It's still wordy and super casual and some parts are still just notes to myself, but I wanted to drop a status update so let folks know how it's going!
I'll continue to chip away at this over the coming weeks—hopefully we'll get some more print orders soon, and we'll have that in hand. (If you want that, make sure you select the print reward, so I can get your address!)
Happy Delving,
