Hermit Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Sorry Haven't seen it yet. Spooky cover though, I never thought I'd feel that sorry for Grond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 The book has not printed yet. DOJ is still waiting for a print day from the printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Where did you see the cover ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Gillen Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 On Steve's latest news report, they put a link to the cover on the Hero Games homepage. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 First, as Mono mentions, it hasn't even printed yet, so I'm positive no one's seen it. The finals arrived at the printer yesterday, so we're waiting on word as to when it'll print and ship. Second, you can find the link to the cover in my April 18 news update. I was kind of surprised no one commented on it, since it's a damn cool piece of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just keep thumbing through MC and looking forlorn until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't worry about Grond. Once they finish covering his bones with Adamantium, his healing factor will kick in and he will be fine. Gronderine Lives!

I didn't comment, but I did like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 <---------------------------- Grond is my favorite. I hope he rips those UNTIL sissies apart when he wakes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Not to worry, guys. I'm pretty sure this is one of those "right before the disaster occurs" illustrations. In the next few panels, the readouts on the monitors start to spike, then Grond wakes up, then a lot of stuff gets smashed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningstar Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Printing Lingo Back on 4-25 you mentioned it was off to the printer, and on 5-2 you reviewed the blue lines and got it back to the printer. I am curious about the steps a product takes to hit the shelves. Why the second pass to the printer? What are the "blue lines"? It looks like a great book, I can't wait! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Back on 4-25 you mentioned it was off to the printer, and on 5-2 you reviewed the blue lines and got it back to the printer. I am curious about the steps a product takes to hit the shelves. Why the second pass to the printer? What are the "blue lines"? First, we send our finalized manuscript in PDF to the printer (or sometimes in InDesign directly; some printers use that). Next, the printer prepares "bluelines" -- printouts showing how the book looks when it goes through their process. They send us these bluelines so we can review them to make sure there are no errors we need to correct, that the art all looks right, and so on. They're called "bluelines" because they're usually printed in blue-toned ink to differentiate them from an actual book. (They have this sort of odd smell, too.) Third, after we review the bluelines we "sign off" on them, and send them back with a new PDF file that corrects any errors or omissions we found. At this stage we also add in any pieces of art that were late arriving at the Hero offices. If there were substantial changes to a blueline, we'd get another one from the printer and go over it again. But we've never had to do that... so far. With the finalized bluelines and file in hand, the printer prints the book. Ta-daaa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Cowboy Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Can't wait for this one. With a group of players that don't have the background in the system to see the versatility of it a book like this is going to really help show them what CAN be done and examples of how. This could be one of the best books on the schedule when it comes to getting new players into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
