I threw together a quick Wordpress page to make the blogging easier for me going ahead.

I also drew several goblins after last nights post! I'm working on a VTT character token pack as an extra virtual "thank you" gift for all backers. It will be available this month through our Itch.io page.

A while back I had trouble upgrading to latest Photoshop and had to roll my version back. Today I reinstalled the main brush I've been using on the zine and drew an example of a trap.ย

So, I want to have the zine finished by the end of the month (October 2023). That means I aim to have the PDF out by the first week of November, with the physical zines going out by the 31st of November.
I have bought fancy paper for the cover and for the insides, but my printer is a limiting factor.ย
Step 1 is to finish the layout.
Step 2 is to print. If I cannot get a decent print on my home printer, I will head to my local print shop.
Step 3 is to bind. The plan up until now has been to hand stitch the zines. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.
As it stands today the zine is just under 20 pages. Some of the images already in the document need to be rescanned or replaced, but I want to finish writing before I replace low-res images.
PERHAPS I will put a WIP zine on the Itch.io page this time next week, and update that file weekly. Maybe I can do a poll to effect next Sunday.
