Revision Round 2 and Black Friday Sale for You
over 3 years ago – Mon, Nov 21, 2022 at 07:08:19 PM

Hey Folks,

This is just a quick update to let you know we’re beginning the second stage of the revision process as well as doing the first run layout and art placement. Check out the sample below! Please ignore the actual text, grammar, and page numbers. This is just to give you a taste for the layout and artwork.

We’re also having a sale this week for Black Friday with discount codes going out through social media and email but I’ve saved our biggest discount code for you folks. You can get anything you want from our website and save 50% off the ticket price (on top of free US shipping) with the code BACKER22. You can use it for our Sandbox Adventures Softcover or our Limited Edition Box Set. Thank you so much for backing this project and I hope you have a great holiday season this winter.

Revision Update
over 3 years ago – Sun, Nov 06, 2022 at 12:17:01 PM

Hey Folks!

I am excited to share that the first, and most expansive, round of revisions is done. We still have some work to do on some of the monster stat blocks and balancing but we are essentially ready to move on to the next stage of revisions. I will be doing another sweep myself and then it will move on to Ash for content editing.

I'm also excited to share that the first of our physical rewards have arrived! We have the print maps of Blumont as well as the art prints of the Titan! Check out the unboxing video below!

Congratulations!

I also want to give a big congratulations to Adventurer's Agency lead writer, Alex Pirotta, who was just married yesterday! Way to go, Alex!

Thanks, folks! I will keep you updated on the revision process as it moves along but at the latest, I will have another update for you all at the beginning on December.

New GM Tool

I also wanted to pass along a new free tool on our website, our Gaming Group Questionnaire. If you are starting a gaming group and want to assess your new players, this tool can be perfect. It's also great if you are considering adding a new player to your existing group and you want to see if they'd be the right fit. Check it out here: https://www.headlesshydrapress.com/gaming-group-questionnaire

Happy gaming!

Check Out Blumont!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 13, 2022 at 04:37:36 PM

Hey Folks!

We were hoping to have the first round of revisions completed this week but it's going to take another 2-3 weeks to get it all done - and done right. However, I am excited to share that we've completed the city map of Blumont - check it out! I have also ordered the first few items for the project including art prints of the Titan for our early bird backers, and poster maps of Blumont. I've also ordered raw materials for our 3d printers to begin printing the Passenger Stone terrain pieces for our Hero backers. 

In the next update, I should have exciting news about the editing status of the book and will have pictures of the first rewards as the show up at the office!

Another Quick Update
over 3 years ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 12:21:05 AM

Hey Folks!

I've got a brief update for y'all today but just wanted to let you know about another Kickstarter I'm involved in that launches tomorrow morning. Eight years ago, Joe Carro (HHP Community Manager), Frank Ard (HHP Copy Editor), and I (Lead Creator and Owner of HHP) had to idea to created a shared post-apocalyptic world set in Vermont a couple of decades after a catastrophic solar flare. We each wrote a story in this world - along with 8 other super talented writers - and the book is launching on Kickstarter tomorrow morning! I'm really proud of this project and if you like gritty post-apocalyptic/weird west stories, I hope you'll take a look! Click to get notified so you can get a reminder when it launches. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/franklinard/after-the-burn-a-post-apocalyptic-anthology

Revisions

I am meeting with lead writer Alex on Thursday but I checked in briefly with him over the weekend and it sounds like we should be on track for this stage of revisions to wrap up within the next week or two. After that, we will do 2-3 more rounds of edits but these will be much faster, focusing primarily on grammar, punctuation, syntax, consistency, etc. I am also working on the city map of Blumont and hope to have that ready to show you in the next update. I hope you're all having a great start to autumn - we're enjoying the beautiful foliage up here in Vermont!

Sincerely,

Shane

Quick Update

Hey Folks!

This is just a quick update to let you know two things:

Editing

Alex is still hard at work on the first (and most substantive) round of revisions. When we make it through this round, I will update you all on the progress. I am hoping to complete it by the end of September.

BackerKit Cards to be Charged

The second part is that BackerKit orders have been locked and cards will be processed shortly. Getting these extra funds are necessary for us to order many of the add-ons for the project. 

Thank you all and I hope you have a great week!
