  • I am reading through the final InDesign doc for the guts of the book. 436 pages. 436 beautiful pages. I’m going through looking for all those annoying little typos that show up just before you send the book off to the printer. Spending all day doing that. Then, Daniel’s gonna finish the cover(s) this week. Then, at…

  • Gamers like ’em. I think a clear TOC does the trick. I’m compromising. An index for HotB. I’ve been burning on this for about 6 hours and this is what I’ve got so far. I count six more hours until I’m completely done, but I’m handing it over to my editor first so he can…

  •   Read about Daniel’s process in making the cover here.

  •   The index. Seems like a manditory thing in games these days. (Especially games clocking in at over 400 pages!) Okay, I need an index for Houses of the Blooded. I don’t want to do it. Do you? HotB needs an index and I’m not gonna do it. If you want to be the person…

  • Over at the Master Plan podcast, I have a half hour interview about using elements of the FATE system in HotB (as well as name dropping a few brilliant minds who contributed to the project). Be sure to check it out. (PS: It’s all about love.)

  • Sales are going great. As of this morning, only 62 copies of the Limited Edition remain. Orders of the Standard Edition look solid as well. Looks like I’ll be covering my print costs with ease. Woot! Those Limited Editions are going fast! They probably won’t last the week. Be sure to get yours before they’re…
