Hey Folks,
I hope everyone here is doing okay. It's been a few months since the last update, and the release of book #2, so i thought I'd bring some good news.
Much like with the previous work, it's not going to be a fast process. I've just launched a Kickstarter, and i find doing the semi-mindless work of formatting Voyagers helps keep me distracted from constantly staring at the funding screen.
If I'm understanding the contents of this book correctly, there is 6-8 Chapters, with Chapter 1 being the largest (probably 100/400 pages). I plan to complete this Chapter first (with art hopefully) before releasing it as a draft and moving onto Chapter 2.
That's all I've got for now, sorry that there are no actual files to share. Hopefully i can send out Chapter 1 before the end of the month.
Reminder that the PDF of Books #1 - Terrific Terrains & #2 - Traveling NPCs, can be grabbed on the previous update. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepdungeongames/voyages-of-the-vagabond/posts/4024160
Cheers,

Hey folks, I hope the holiday period was nice to everyone.
I said last year that I would hopefully get the ball rolling by January for the sprucing up of the books. Unfortunately, we’re not there. In both November and January, I sat down to work through how the books were going to be reorganised, edited, designed, who to reach out to, what help was offered, etc, etc… and it honestly came to little. I think between creating my own products to keep myself afloat, and looking after a dragon-slaying princess who is about to turn 1, I haven’t had the real time or mental ability, to invest into this what’s needed, to create what I envisioned in my head.
So where does that leave us. Not completely awash, just not exactly where we were swimming towards. The restructured plan is thus:
1. Pull the NPCs from both books to create a third. The last poll indicated a preference towards this, and I think it's a better choice for the printing side of things.
2. I will, myself, be doing a quick design for Magnificent Mounts & Traveling NPCs. With the hope for it to end up looking in line with the current Terrific Terrains.
3. There won’t be additional editing work completed. When I look at the document to be edited, it’s 350 pages without art, and over 250,000 words. Its just too much to realistically ask people to work on unpaid. And I cannot seem to plan any sort of timeframe that wouldn’t take years to complete. Putting strict deadlines on volunteers is a no-go and there is no money.
4. Hopefully in the next 1-3 months, all three books will be sorted and sent to P.OD. We can speak more on costs and logistics of it all once its uploaded and ready to go.
I’m really sorry to add more disappointment to what has been a long few years for this project. And while something is better than nothing, and we will get three completed books, I came in swinging with bigger plans and ideals (and many lovely folks offering to help) and it won't be coming together fully. The more I’ve sat sown and actually parsed things out, the more I’ve realised it wasn’t going to happen with no money to go into it.
TLDR: There shall hopefully be three shiny books ready for people to download and grab physically in the next few months, however, the additional editing and design improvements that were planned won’t be coming. Its too large of a process for something with no money, and i want to get the books into your hands. Semi-decent is better than nothing.

Thanks for your patience everyone,
Talk soon.
