			<description><![CDATA[<p>None of the art and none of the maps have been delivered. I&#039;ve seen the prelim sketches for the artwork and approved the color scheme for the cover and the final illustrations are being worked on, and my hand-drawn maps and related notes have been sent to the cartographer.</p><p>I&#039;ve submitted two possible formats for pricing at the printer:</p><p>A- 24 page A5-size saddle-stitched booklet with color cover. The middle two sheets would be map pull-outs, one for the players and one for the referee.</p><p>B- 16 page A5-size saddle-stitched booklet, and two detached cover sheets (outside cover in color) plus a folded A3 sheet. The second cover sheet would be a double-sided map sheet, and the A3 sheet would be a player handout.</p><p>B will cost more, but it remains to be seen how much more. I like the idea of that format, but with a 16 page adventure there&#039;s only so much extravagance the project can afford I think.</p><p>The sections of the adventure:</p><p>Author&#039;s Notes<br />Referee Introduction<br />The Surface Area<br />Dungeon Level One<br />Dungeon Level Two<br />Cheat Sheet</p><p>The cheat sheet is a description of the internal logic of the adventure. The dungeon is basically set up by a guy intentionally screwing around with adventurers, and a lot of things that might seem random have in-game logic to them. Instead of cluttering the actual descriptions with these explanations, I&#039;ve moved it all to its own section.</p><p>Maria will begin proofreading tomorrow, and she&#039;s already made a layout suggestion that has made my life much easier. <img src="http://www.lotfp.com/RPG/discussion/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
