Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass: A 5E Campaign Setting

Hello Everyone!

In this week's update, we've got a new Draft Chapter for review and a new Podcast Episode.

Chapter Draft Reviews

We need your help! If you haven't seen them already, we've been releasing chapters from the book for you to look over. These chapters are about 90% complete, as layout and art may or may not be missing depending on the chapter. That said, before we put the final stamp of approval on these chapters, we want the community to see it first. We've had our editors look through everything already, but we understand with a book this big, we are bound to miss something.

Anyone interested in seeing a sneak peek of the book and helping us out can check out the Latest release "Potion Brewing" or last week's chapter  "Players Options". You'll also find a survey, which you can fill out if you see anything out of place.

BIG NOTE- Our artists are finishing up the potion art as we speak. So, you can expect to see some missing potions and reused potion art in this Draft.

Hello Everyone!

In this week's update, we've got a few things to talk about this week. A big update on the project timeline, A new Chapter Draft for everyone to review, The last subclass playtest, and a new podcast episode.

Timeline

Let's start by talking about the timeline. Originally, we set out to fulfill next month, but due to burnout from our artist team, we decided to slow things down and give our amazing artists some time to recover. This project, at its core, is just as much about the artistic style as it is about the writing, so this felt like the best course of action on our part. That put the updated release schedule for late October this year, and that's where we've been until this week.

So what's changed?

The reality is, if we wanted to, we could push through with our plan and rush through this last 15% of layout and production and still probably fulfill late October or early November, but that comes with a handful of issues. The largest of which, is the fact that we won't have the time to put in the love and care to bring this project to its greatest potential. We know that with a little more time, we can make this book everything we wanted and more.

So why did it take so long to make this decision?

There are two major reasons. The first is of course our desire to make the community happy. Delays are never fun for anyone and we've been working tirelessly to try and stop this delay. So for us to let it happen was a big disappointment. If we could make it work without a delay, we were going to try to the very last minute.

The next was a business choice we had to make. Not fulfilling in October meant that we as a company were going to miss out on holiday sales, which as a small team is fairly meaningful. To slow down, with that goal just in sight is a hard thing to do.

These two factors made this a tough choice for us as a team. That said, after talking it over we decided to give ourselves a little more time and instead fulfill the project starting in December and going into January.

I'm sure some of you will be upset by this decision, and we don't fault you for that. We set a date, and couldn't make it happen. We just hope that when you finally see the book fully assembled, it will be well worth the wait.
