Next Steps on Five-Story Drop
Five-Story Drop hit digital shelves last Friday but, as you may well know, it’s not exactly ready for the print commitment. I’ve spent a good portion of this past week moving but will have time next week to give the text and layout some much-needed love, make some additions, and then get it to the printer. I’ll update the PDF with the changes as well.
I’m currently on track to have the hardcopies of Five-Story Drop in-hand in the middle of next month. Once they are, I’ll get all Kickstarter backer orders who have been waiting on this book fulfilled.
Wrapping up Kickstarter
But Five-Story Drop isn’t the only thing dangling from the Kickstarter. I’m in communication with Ed Lima about finalizing Sounds of Bedlam. I hope to have an update on that next week. I also have some other scenarios to do, ones I’ll be working with certain KS backers with. If you’re one of those backers, expect an email sometime next month about getting that ball rolling.
I also owe you all some pre-gen characters and I’ll get those done while Five-Story Drop is printing.
Okay, that’s all for this week. I’ll update you all next Friday with all of this is at.
After a far-too-long-in-development cycle, I am happy to announce that Streets of Bedlam‘s first supplement, Five-Story Drop, is finally out in PDF!
Attention Kickstarter Backers!
If you pledged $25 or more, you are due a free PDF copy of Five-Story Drop as part of your rewards. I have sent out message with details on how to claim your copies via Kickstarter so please check your email for those instruction.
Where do we go from here?
I’m going to do a couple more edit passes on Five-Story Drop before committing it to print. I’m also looking into the suggestions over at the Pinnacle Forums to see what, if anything, can be added to this book before it goes to print.
I expect to submit to the printers by the end of the month and I should have hardcopies in my hands by mid-July.
I have a lot of other stuff to wrap up as part of the Kickstarter, so I’m gonna hop off, but Five-Story Drop is finally here!
I want to make Streets of Bedlam one of the best Savage Worlds lines out there. But I can’t do it without your help. Over at the official Pinnacle forums, I ask:
[Streets of Bedlam] What doesn’t work for you?
If you have any thoughts, please head over to the thread and make your voice heard. Be honest. I can take it.
Out in PDF this Friday:
One false move. One bad deal. One broken promise. That’s all that stands between you and a one-way trip off the nearest skyscraper.
You manage to navigate the ins and outs, you’ll find yourself on the top of the heap. You stumble, you’ll spend the rest of your short life sucking wind until the concrete comes up to kiss you.
At least you’ll have lived a story worth telling, yeah?
Because in the end that’s what we’re all doing here.
Telling stories.
Five-Story Drop is a collection of episodes for Streets of Bedlam: A Savage World of Crime + Corruption.
Within these pages, you’ll run across a suburban cannibal cult, drug-running streetracers, a precinct-wide conspiracy, the return of a notorious serial killer, and a man who simply refuses to stay dead.
Five-Story Drop includes:
“Does a Body Good”
“Life in the Fast Lane”
“The Burial Plot”
“That Man’s Got a Real Backscratcher”
“Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man”
Five-Story Drop hits in PDF this Friday, June 14th. Hardcopy is due out mid-July.
Some edits and additions to make but I’ll see you all on Friday with a completed Five-Story Drop. 😉
