Balabanto Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 PTAH Red Commander Ray Bolo is complete! Mr. Bolo of Earth, your tribute character is in. PTAH Underground Response Team Agent is next. Four sheets left after that one. They're all animals. Then two tactical team pages, and a villain base. Then sheets are done.

Balabanto Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 PTAH Underground Response Team Agent Sheet is complete. Background is forthcoming. Then one very expensive base. Then, a bunch of weird animals. I have no idea what to write for backgrounds for animals, really. They're animals. I'll figure it out. Then the two villain team tacticals and sheets are done. I still doubt this will be ready by GenCon. There's a whole lot of mapwork to do. But hold out hope. I'll do my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 PTAH Underground Response Team Sheet is complete. On to the Dark Spire. Then Four Animals. Then Two Tactical sheets. Then maps. Then fluff. We're at 176 pages and 79865 words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Still working on the Dark Spire, unfortunately. Apparently this requires additional background text. (Can't say more. Spoilers) I should be on to the animals and villain tactic pages by February, and well into Maps by march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrito Boy Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Then, a bunch of weird animals. I have no idea what to write for backgrounds for animals, really. They're animals. I'll figure it out. Read some books about animals or watch some shows about animals like Nature or Marty Stouffer's Wild America. That oughta give you plenty of ideas for what to say about animals.

Balabanto Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 You have to imagine that boring "Museum of Natural History Tour Guide Voice" when writing the backgrounds. And that's the easy part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balabanto Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Additional Background Text completed! On to the animals! Then tacticals. Then we can finally do maps. Once maps are finalized, the process of fluff begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balabanto Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 The Lizard Horse is done! I had to do a huge editorial pass on the novel. That slowed this project down. Two sheets left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balabanto Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Everything I make has a bunch of maps in it, QM. They add life to products and make them more reusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balabanto Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Villain Tacticals are done! It's on to maps. This is usually followed by a shout of "Curse you, Object Defense Table!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 The map of the Center of the Earth is now completed. Well, the crude version that some genius like Bill Keyes will turn into something awesome later! Over the next few days, I will key this map. Unfortunately, I'm going on a cruise this weekend, so this might take a little bit longer than usual. I'll let you guys know when it's done.

TheQuestionMan Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Eager to see the final product. Please take you time and do it right. My money will still be there. QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm actually sort of worried that people might not be able to lift the final product, QM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Baker Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm actually sort of worried that people might not be able to lift the final product, QM.

Balabanto Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 It's not going to be THAT heavy, unless you guys decide you want a kickstarter with an inverted globe and a bunch of other wacky rewards that weigh a lot. There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for this project. That makes me very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
