State of GTG - March 2019

An on time State of GTG post! Unprecedented in 2019! Things are going very well as we gear up for the summer/fall convention and release season. We've also ironed out a number of internal processes that will really help us going forward. Here's some stuff we did:

1. Funded and concluded the Kickstarter for the Sentinel Comics RPG!
2. Seriously, we unlocked so many books! Wow!
3. Created a production schedule for the next three years; that's right, we know roughly what we'll be working on every month through 2021.
4. Commissioned writing for all of the unlocked SC:RPG books.
5. Moved most of the core SC:RPG rulebook chapters into final editing.
6. Met with the creators of Medium, a very fun party game we'll be publishing this year.
7. Commissioned a ton of Jagged Earth art and began layout on the bulk of the expansion.
8. Organized our warehouse and got caught up on freight orders for the first time since May.

Here is the status of all of our works in progress.

What about the Spirit Island errata pack? Is that coming back in stock with the Promo Pack 1 reprint?

@dpt

No, that will not be back in stock at the same time. We may have it available again in the summer, but we have already sold as many copies of the errata pack as we sold of editions of the game that require it, so some people definitely picked it up unnecessarilly.

Thanks for the update 

I don't suppose you're still looking for freelancers on all those books...?

@PlatinumWarlock

We are definitely looking for freelance artists! The freelance writer portion of the project is solidly in Christopher's wheelhouse, and I'm not sure of his current status except to say that all of the currently unlocked books currently have a main writing team in place.

I can't draw to save my life, but perhaps another forumite might put in for it. 

That said, if there's a need for writers at any point, I'd certainly *make* myself available. 

Yay, updates!

Ugh, I had been waiting for the SI Errata Pack and never noticed that it had become available (and promptly disappeared, apparently).  I definitely have a 4th/5th edition printing, which I didn't noticed until I tried a game with "Shadow's Flicker Like Flame."  Looks like Dissolve the Bonds of Kinship is the only substantial error, though.

I suspect that may be in large part because 6th printing says “5th printing” on the back - I’d be very surprised if there weren’t a fair number of people who ordered it in good faith but didn’t actually need it.

That's our suspicion as well. We'll have another wave of them in the late summer.
