Stone Horizons Announcement Thread

So, does this means no easily accessible PDF purchase? And by "easily accessible" I mean economically priced. I refuse to spend $20 or more on a PDF (about the only RPG format I purchase these days).

I'm 99% sure there will be a reasonably priced pdf, Rich.

Ah, good then.

Rather than muck up the other Stone Horizons thread, I ask this here:

Any updates for the unwashed masses?

Hey, dude, thanks for the interest.

As it stands at the moment, things are a little up in the air regards a 3rd party printing arrangement.

Clash is still onboard to offer the pdf of the product.

The plan is to finish up shortly and hand over the documents to Clash. Shortly is shorthand for when life-issues get fully sorted, but hopefully shouldn't be more than 2 months.

Has there been any movement on this game lately?
It's been on my 'watch list' for a while but I've kind of fallen out of the loop...

I seem to have spent half this year putting people into the ground so i haven't progressed much in recent months. I'm still putting the finishing touches to it before i start the final editing pass.

The internal art has gone tits-up so that might hold things up further in the future.

Lord! That's terrible, Dan! I knew you had a horrible HD crash, but I didn't know about the rest! My profoundest sympathies, my friend!

Cheers dude.

[Simlasa]

Sorry to hear of the setbacks...

Still looking forward to it. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

It's been fucking ages and since the game has been mentioned a couple of times in recent threads i thought it was only fair to post an update.

I decided a while ago, but didn't advertise the fact here, that as it's been so long in coming, i might as well complete all 3 planned books before we go any further - that's Stone Horizons, Veiled Horizons - GMs Guide, and The Architects.

There's a flaw with that plan, however, as The Architects book has about 60 more feature entries in it - which might well end up being another year before being completed. Add to this problems with getting the books illustrated and we're at a bit of an impasse.

I fully admit that i've achieved very little for about a year now, but by crikey, i'll finish this if it kills me.

I wish i could say after 3 years that it's coming soon, but i can't say that.

All i can say for those who have followed along for those 3 years and know this isn't vapourware, as you've seen it take shape, is that i'll get it out there if it's the last fucking thing i do.

This is more than a labour of love for me - it's been obsessional, which i believe is the essence of any artistic endeavour, which anyone who has read my writing will understand - i choose my words carefully. I simply can't knock out x amount of words per day/week/month - i have to draft, leave, go back, tinker, re-write and polish. I've approached this project like i was writing a book for publication (which it is obviously, but i mean it in a sense that would get me a wallop from Pundit if he were reading). The source material demands that i use a certain style and that's what i'm doing.

That was longer and more heartfelt than i was expecting, but i owed you an explanation for the delays.

Well, all I care is that you haven't abandoned it. The game I ran was great, the players loved it, and it ran smoothly. there were gaps where I had to improvise, but that always happens in alpha testing. I just wish I was an illustrator only and not a designer/writer as well, because I'd have time to illustrate the whole thing. As it is, my paintings take weeks each to complete, and my writing output exactly matches my illustrating output.

This is awesome, Dan! Just don't let it go!

I won't. I simply have a fraction of the time i had 18 months ago in which to write.
