Hi Everyone,

My apologies for taking so long to update everyone and my thanks to Thom for kicking me in the rear so to speak!

The Pelion Report is finished! I want to give it a once over again as I had a couple of minor changes, but Ron Blessing and Karl Keesler have worked their magic. I will release the book in PDF  by this weekend and wait two weeks for comments, questions or concerns so we can do our best to have a solid book in print as well as a clean PDF.

A few housekeeping items:  

1) I will be asking for input on the GM screen in another update. Be thinking about that!

2) Ron Blessing is working on editing the conversion document for the Olympus Inc book. This will clean up a few things and bring that book into SWADE compliance. It will be a fairly plain document designed to be more utilitarian than pretty.

3) Now that I have an edited book, I'll get Scott to work on the adventure for Pelion. 

4) I'll also be working with folks with Cast of Cards to get that rolling. 

5) We also had a backer that had submitted multiple ideas for their NPC tier reward and so one went into the book and the other I want to flesh out and provide to you all for free as well. I think you're going to love the expanded NPC idea that was provided. 

That is it for now. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] or via Kickstarter.  If we are FB friends, it is perfectly appropriate to fire off a message to me there as well!

Thanks!

The State of Things and A Question
almost 5 years ago – Sun, Jun 02, 2019 at 06:54:46 PM

Hi All,

Just a note to let you know that the book is in Layout and Editing. I can't remember if I mentioned previously, but Karl Keesler is doing the Layout. He has been involved in several projects including most recently for Pinnacle.  Ron Blessing is handling the editing. He also is an accomplished editor, but probably best known for his work on the podcast The Game's The Thing. We are excited to have both of these gentlemen on the team!

As they are doing their thing, I am also working on a simple conversion guide for Olympus Inc to SWADE. Here is my question:

Would you expect to see the conversion document only address Skills, Edges, Hindrances and Powers or would you also expect to see all NPCs and creatures converted as well?

In a perfect world, I would simply release an updated Olympus Inc book. However, the plan as it stands now would be to release The Pelion Report, release the third book featuring Hades, Poseidon and some minor gods and then go back and re-release a SWADE compatible Olympus Inc book with maybe some additional material. 

As always, thanks for your support!

Just Checking In

Hi All,

It has been awhile since my last update, so wanted to touch base. 

Nothing new to report on this end. I am working with a few backers to complete NPCs, NPC seeds and the such for the book. The writing is complete on my end. I am working through a first-pass edit this weekend. My hope is to be able to get the book out to edit/layout in the next week or two. 

Once that is completed, I'll release the .PDF first for comment and review to the backers just like the Pinnacle model. After about two weeks, I'll submit the print files and get a review copy. If that looks good, then I order the books for the backers and get those out.

I anticipate the .PDF being out by middle to late May. 

Thanks for your continued support!

Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you all know we are still alive on this end and working hard on the book.

Here are a few things that we are working on currently: 

Ensuring previous material is compliant with SWADE.

IMBs/Mythical Creatures: We've got some great submissions from backers. Trying to work through that with them. Given that the Demeter bloodline is in this book, we are working on a few plant-based mythical creatures as well.

Slosi: We are trying to put several new Slosi in the book. The hope is that this will inspire GMs to craft their own.

Genghiscon: In less than two weeks, Gilbert and I will be at Genghiscon running a few Olympus Inc games! I believe there are still seats available. I'll be showing off a few of the new bloodlines when I run Brother's Keeper and Poison Drift. I believe I still have open seats for my game and not sure about Gilbert.

If you backed at the appropriate tier and haven't gotten us your NPC seed or your fully-fleshed out NPC, IMB, etc. please do so as soon as you are able. We'd ideally love to have these by the end of the month.

Thanks again to all you amazing backers. I am excited about what is happening behind the scenes and I know that you all will be, too!

Charles
