Yesterday I completed processing all of the interior illustrations. Whew! What a chore.

Today I'm working on re-integrating the foreign & nonhuman character generations with the main character generation section. I'd originally pulled them out into a separate section, but I'm not happy with the results. Also, I've been cleaning up the Table of Contents.

Foreign character generation pass: done. I also added another couple of locations to the Katalal map.

Today I'll finish the nonhuman character generation, and continue work on the Table of Contents.

Nonhuman character generation pass: done.

The remaining tasks are:

    Equipment: small, scattered edits
    Combat: editing for organization & clarity
    Sorcery: I'll re-read it one last time, but I think it's done
    Bestiary: I have to add a handful of creatures whose illos got unlocked as stretch goals during the Kickstarter
    Treasure & Magic Items: final read-through, I have some concerns about the selling prices of magic items but otherwise finished
    Rank & Promotion: final review
    Income & Expenditure: final review
    Random Encounter Table: re-do to add the new creatures
    Chapter Headings
    "See" References
    Insert Illustrations
    Map of Tsolyanu

Tonight I'm working on the new creature stats.

New creature stats completed! The Katru (the Giant Clam), Nraishu (the Deer), and Utanakh (the Sand Barb), plus the Atlun (the Spider) needed alternate stats for 'small' and 'large' varieties.

Yesterday, I typed in a few notes compiled by my partner Talzhemir after a run-through of the character generation rules. I also simplified some of the rules regarding 'sorcery level' (a holdover from Prof. Barker's magic system from Gardasiyal, which was complicating things a bit).

    Treasure & Magic Items: final read-through, I have some concerns about the selling prices of magic items but otherwise finished

I'm still working on the final review and edit of the combat section today. This may take another day more. You might also be interested to know that Talz is hard at work on the paper minis, and Denis Loubet is making progress on the cover painting.

Final review of the Combat, Hazards, and Healing sections completed! Here's what's left:

    Treasure & Magic Items: final read-through, I have some concerns about the selling prices of magic items but otherwise finished
    Rank & Promotion: final review
    Income & Expenditure: final review
    Random Encounter Table: re-do to add the new creatures
    Chapter Headings
    "See" References
    Insert Illustrations
    Map of Tsolyanu

So... at this point it's pretty clear that I'm not going to be finished by the end of the month. There's really not much work left to do, but I'm headed to CelestiCon this weekend and that's going to cost me a few days. Plus, Denis Loubet is still working on the cover painting. I'll try to get the Treasure & Magic Items section locked down before then, and maybe Rank & Promotion. I'm now tentatively projecting completion of the PDF version by September 7. Thanks very much for your patience!
