07/10/2020 Report, FERMI RESOLUTION RPG worldbook: 32,263/38,400.

I was miscounting pages, so… 6K words to go, after all. The good news is, all the original stuff has had the expanded pass-through and everything else is fill-in-the-blanks. I should be able to hack it all together by Monday and get it out to the other folks having a look-see.

Not much else going on, really.

Just what it says on the label.

07/09/2020 Report, FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: 31,000/37,800

I powered through both the magic and the religion sections today, because those two are related in terms of mechanics and I thought it’d be easier to just get it all done at once. Tomorrow I think I can just burn through the last three original sections left and then spend the weekend punching up the rest. The goal is to hand it off to a couple of folks I’m consulting with next week and see what they think.

After that, I can get on with the sonnets. And the adventure which I’m going to run for the session*. And after that, I’ve… run out of stuff to do? I could get back to normal? But what is normal, really? I’ve kind of forgotten by now.

*No, I haven’t forgotten the books. The books start getting processed this weekend. Letter, sign, wrap, label, send out, yay!

From the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: Religions.

This is starting to come together. Finally.

Got the original Geography part finished and added some more locations. The next two are the big ones, though: Magic and Religion. I wrote them originally before I had an actual magical system to link them to, and there’s going to have to be revisions there. Mechanically, magic and theurgy run off of the same mechanics; but the styles are completely different in this iteration.

From the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: NPCs.

Although I’m wondering whether I should have a contemporary NPC section: these folks are all pretty ‘historical.’ Hrm.

Today was half rules, half world-building. Guess which guy forgot to put it anything about armor? This guy! Dear Lord, but this is gonna need some serious playtesting — and before anybody says anything: that’s a discussion for August. I gotta get this draft finished first.

Still, things are not actually going badly. I’ve got time to work on this; the game production doesn’t have a hard deadline. In fact, after a certain point I’m going to need to wait until other people are done working on it, which means I can work on other stuff then. Marathon, not a sprint.

From the Fermi Resolution Worldbook: parts from the Gazetteer.

Trying to spread this around to get maximum eyeballs. This is going to be from the updated Gazetteer section.

07/05/2020 Report, various things.

I did a surprising number of things today, actually.

The pre-order store is now closed on Backerkit. Sorry, folks, but it’s time to wrap it all up. You can still get FROZEN DREAMS on Amazon.
Bought a mess of postage for mailing out the books. My wife and I spent some time experimenting with packaging and whatnot; we think that a combo of bubble envelopes and plastic wrap should do to get the books out safely.
My wife also worked out how we’ll be lettering the books. I still need to come up with a good signature for these. Pick it now, hey?
The books will start going out, hopefully, in the next week or so. Domestic first, then international. Then it will be done, except for the people who haven’t filled out their surveys.
FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY, IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY.
And then it’s time to get on with the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG. Current count is 26,900/37,800. Some of the work is up here.

So, not an unproductive day.

Not as much as I would have liked, but I got some pieces done. Case in point: I’m adding thumbnails of cities in the Fermi Resolution worldbook. Here are a few samples: feel free to go over and take a look at ’em (they’re public), let me know if the format’s missing anything.
