Hey everyone!
It’s been a while since I posted an update from the Pristine Tower Development Group. I wanted to let you all know that we have been busy, and let you in on what’s in progress.
1.) Our first completely original work Scale, Tail, and Claw is about 2/3 finished with content development, and the art is already starting to look really good! For those who do not know, it’s a detailed exploration of all the sentient reptilian races of Athas, in the style of Elves of Athas. To give you an idea of where we’re headed, I’ve included a sneak preview of two of the races we’ll be discussing, a 3rd generation Dray and a Tortle (courtesy the wonderful talents of @ouroboros )
2.) Beyond the Dead Lands has been renamed to the more fitting Frontiers of the Dead Lands, and has had a major rethink of approach, as we’ve readjusted the scope of the project. It’s now a much tighter book focusing more on usable areas for DMs to run encounters, rather than a big lore-heavy book covering a huge swath of map.
The removed partially developed sections for Zethi, the Tari Homeland, Hiramin Highlands, and Southern Anattan Coast will all be spun off into either separate books or used to build our upcoming series of Gazetteers. So that content will see the light of day in due time (or sooner if one of you in the community wants to take the content and run with it).
After these removals, the project is back to 50% through the content development phase.
3.) We’ve started our grand project for updating the Athasian Cartographer’s Guild planetary map one tile at a time to vector-based images. It’s an ambitious project, but it will make all of our future works (and the works of others) much easier to use.
4.) And finally, Adventures in the Dead Lands is fast approaching completion. We’re only a few modules away from having the complete anthology finished and ready to ship. (About 85% complete on both development and editing)
We also have another interesting project waiting on deck to start very soon. Watch this space!
As always, if you’d like to help make these and other big projects possible, I invite you to come along and join us! Simple PM me, @raddu, or @The_DMs_Revenge directly.
