Final Print Schedule

I’ve held off sending this out so that I don’t spam your email boxes, but I finally can confidently report on the print copy final schedule.

The print copies should ship to me by Thursday, which means that sometime between Saturday and Monday, I should receive 125 copies of Lost Hall of Tyr, of which roughly 96 are destined for US backers.

The packaging is all ready to go, mailing labels attached. The shipping content printouts are going to be done today. We’ve got plenty of packing tape. So is all we have to do is get stuff in boxes and tape ’em up. Then the “you have got to be kidding me” moment when I bring in 96 of them to the USPS.

But that means that the promised schedule of all print copies distributed by the end of January (ahead of an April delivery statement from the Kickstarter) can be confirmed unless horrible things happen. This is Minnesota, and snowpocalypse requires the plural form here, but things look good.

The only deliverables left are the two high level tier’s art-and-character promises. I have a character sheet from Michael that’s very pretty, and solid input from both folks. As soon as this weekend I’ll contact the artists and get them some direction, and we’ll get this wrapped up. Those are an April delivery promise as well, and that should be well in hand.

What’s Next

That will wrap it up for Lost Hall of Tyr, and thanks to all for sticking with me.

If you like the world of Lost Hall, I have some good news for you. I’m working through edits for a full game based in that world. It is fully playable with the 5e rules, but is really built around an OGL modification of the system called Dragon Heresy. I also plan a full adventure mini-setting for the world of Etera, tentatively titled The Hunted Lands (Veiddurlond, much like Lost Hall of Tyr was Domstollinn).

This one won’t be a linear convention scenario, but a living chunk of the world, centered on a very hazardous region of Torengar that is slightly North and East of the starting point for Lost Hall. I estimate it will have six to eight “plot chunks,” which will relate to each other. Four to six characters that start at level 1 will be able to reach level 5 without completing every last jot and tiddle of every encounter.

I’m working through that development process now.
