I know, I know, I dropped off the face of the earth. No one is more upset than me. I’m trying to get things restructured, including moving the hosting of this to github pages. If you can see this, it means it worked.

Here’s a conundrum I’m currently facing- how to display dates. Specifically, birth and death years.

One of the problems I face is that with the inclusion of the section batch of details (Goals, Fears, Location, Quote, Associates, Organizations) I can no longer fit a single NPC into a quarter page. Now I have to figure out how to handle it.

So it’s become clear that I need to generate far more buzz prior to launching the campaign, as well as dedicate a good deal of time towards the campaign. Marketing isn’t exactly a skillset of mine, so I’m going to regroup and relaunch the campaign at a later date. There’s a couple of other contributing factors as well, which I’ll detail later. That said, Steven is still going to provide artwork for the final project when we’re ready.

Update: On second thought, we’re going to hold off for the time being. More details to follow.

For the past few years, I’ve been keeping my notes and books organized in Scrivener. The Player’s Guide, Explorer’s Guide, and Biographer’s Guide were all written and divided up in various parts within scrivener. It’s served me well overall, but exporting to a useful format has been painful.

For layout, I’ve been using Scribus, but it’s also a pain in the butt- it doesn’t really play well with the editing process- it’s a very manual process to get your text in, formatted, and aligned. The combination of these two tools are awkward at best and infuriating at worst.
