Tales of Argosa

August Update :D
6 months ago – Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 12:00:11 AM

It's August update time!

PDFs have gone out to Backers

Alrighty first up the following files are now in Backer's DTRPG libraries, ready for download at your convenience:

• Tales of Argosa PDF (I uploaded the latest "final" version today)
• GM Screen PDF
• Deck of Signs PDF

If you didn't get an email notification please check your junk folder, or if your files are not in your DTRPG library send me a message and I'll sort it out ASAP. 

There were some minor tweaks (besides typos) for the final ToA PDF, as follows:   

• Intercept p.70 minor clarification
• Monster by HD table p.167 added some missed entries
• Intro p4 tweaked
• Supply table p.55 reformatted
• Gear p.56 some reformatting.  

Pledge Manger & Pre-Order Store

The Pledge Manager & Pre-Order Store have closed to finalise order numbers. If you missed out, and really want the offset book or dice, we'll be ordering some extras so you might be able to still get them (I'll post about that in the future). Shipping is still to be charged in a later survey when we're closer to physical rewards distribution. 

Physical Books, Dice & Cards

The Deck of Signs tuckbox has arrived and is looking SWEET, ready to print final orders. Similarly our Consult the Bones dice order is already with Q Workshop.   

I received the July ToA proof and it is looking excellent. I did find two images that needed tweaking however, so I've fixed those and ordered the final proof, which will come later this month. Assuming that's good we'll confirm our full order with the printers :DD 

At the moment we're looking at fulfillment most likely in Nov (maybe Oct, but probably not).   

Next Steps

My priorities for end of August will be Adventure Framework #69 House of Crows, the First Stretch Goal Adventure, and I know Jason Hobbs is already working on the Second Stretch Goal Adventure :) I've touched base with Dab about a Foundry VTT module and we're in the process of working out that timeframe. More on that next month!

As always, if you have any feedback or play reports I'd love to hear them!  

Thanks again everyone and have a great week!

WELL & TRULY FUNDED - THANK YOU!

HOLY HELL! Tales of Argosa well & truly funded!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your support - I'm super pumped to get the hardcover, dice, and cards out to you, plus the stretch goal bonuses! 

Speaking of bonuses I have one more as a special thank you. All Backers will have the opportunity to pick up our Adventure Journal at cost (approx USD 15.80) via Lulu in the coming months. The journal has not been released to the public. I actually made it for my own solo gaming - but I'm certain it'll work equally well for group play, GM notes, adventure ideas, etc. I had a look around the internet prior to making it, but couldn't quite find what I wanted. So basically it's a compact journal, with mostly blank space for writing, drawing, etc, but dappled with (what I consider!) inspiring fantasy illustrations. I went with the square shape and spiral spine to save space at the table - it can fold back on itself :) Details wise it's full colour, 7.5" by 7.5", 140 pages, light parchment background with an illustration on every page (total of fifty different illustrations, each illo appears roughly three times throughout). 

Naturally I've been working on ToA's master file these last few days, most recently adding tables to randomly generate magic items :D As noted in my last update, I've also recently added revised Mass Battle and Naval Combat rules (including Blackpowder Weapons option).   

As with my prior projects, I'll be posting updates at least once every month, starting at the end of this month and onwards until completion. I'm in the process of finalising the Creative Commons licence, Affinity Publisher template doc, and setting up the Pledge Manager with Backerkit - more about those next post. 

And that's the latest for now folks :) Again, my deep appreciation for your belief and support in Argosa - I'm so looking forward to getting in new art and showing it off in Playtest PDF v6 !! 

As always happy to answer questions here or on our Discord. I hope you have an excellent rest of your weekend :)
