Geirdriful - Valkyrie of Flinging Spears

 The OSR version of Book of Valkyries is slowly nearing completion. I've enjoyed digging into Norse, and greater germanic mythology for research. The stat blocks I've been using are closest to BECMI (because of the expanded ability score table) with a few modern touches such as ascending AC and including a Base Attack Bonus, and also dual axis alignment.

Formidable Fighter

Ever wondered what the fighter on the cover of the red box Basic D&D book looked like? Has Wizard's recent shenanigans caused some confusion? No worries, his face was already shown in this toy released last year!

 

Gunslinger Update #18

Incredible progress! We're well on our way to wrapping Gunslinger up.

Here is where everything stands:

Writing and editing are complete. Much thanks to those who participated in the review and gave us feedback and caught some typos. The core rulebook has been complete for sometime now. Though I reread it everyday and always find some little phrasing to tighten up. This is normal and happens all the way up till the moment I hit send to the printers. You can never reread it too many times.

Maps are done (whew)! 

Horse colors! So I added a page in the back that describes colors for your basic mounts with full color illos. This is unique to the Kickstarter edition.

Still working on the art. I peg it at 90% complete. I tried to create a blend of action, adventure, and spontaneity. Those who backed the Artist Edition Tier will be getting a well crafted original pen and ink drawing.

The full  rulebook is up on DriveThru and has been given to all backers, it will be updated with final art when that's done. Physical books will be shipped then. 

What's left? The included adventure: On The Arizona Hills is nearly done, it got a little bigger than expected, it is chock full of locations, NPC's, and opportunities for adventure, enough to keep your player's entertained for quite some time.

The question you all want to know; when will it be shipped? I keep blowing past the dates as the project kept getting more ambitious than intended, and I kept wanting to make it better (a friend once told me "better is the enemy of done!" its true). I've worked on this game virtually everyday but Sundays since the Kickstarter closed, it has been a great lesson in what to do and not do! If I do another KS I'll be sure the project is 100% done first so I can hit send to printers the moment the crowdfunding finishes.

Ok, that date? June. It will be done, shipped, in June this year.

Happy trails pardner.
