HotB: Done and Done

I have just finished the last edit before sending the book off to the printers and Indie Press Revolution–something I’ll be doing on Monday. Once IPR has the files, they’ll e-mail them to all the pre-orders.

That means this week, hundreds of people will be looking at my game.

I’m excited and terrified, all at once.

I’ve spent so much time on the book, I don’t have any objective viewpoint anymore. I love it dearly. I love it more than anything I’ve ever done. After all the playtesting, I’m not sick of it. After all the questions, I’m not sick of it. I think I could write about the ven forever. (I just may end up doing that.)

But I have no idea how the rest of the world will receive it. Everyone who’s played it has loved it. Everyone who’s read it has said something along the lines of, “It’s the best work you’ve ever done.” I dunno about that, but I’m damn proud of it.

A lot of people paid a lot of money for this. I hope they feel their purchase was worth it. I hope they find as much joy as I did.

I hope.
