The End of the Battle

Good morning and welcome back, we finally have a major update for you.

Diamond Throne has been given to Monte for his approval. Monte read it and advised us to include a couple of final refinements but, ultimately,  he gave us his imprimatur.   

We have already passed the books to our staff to fix what Monte requested. It will take a few more days, then we can finally send the two corebooks to all the backers.

The corebooks printing process will start after few weeks, both books and slipcase, GM Screen and Character notes and sheets. Time production will be quite faster than expected, and everything should be ready in a few weeks.

We are also finishing the saga books, and we will begin to develop all the graphics and layout soon.

Hi everybody,

Here we are with a long-awaited update.

Unearthed, the first book has passed the proofreading process. Evolved, the second book is just entered the proofreading stage, and it is now in the middle of this process.

As you know, editing and proofreading are integral to the process of publishing books. Imagine having to compose part of a very technical manual in a language that is not your first language—not only does it take more time, but it also requires continuous testing and revision, which adds more time to the overall process.

Once both books have been proofread and the recommended revisions are made, they will be sent for review by the owner of the IP, Monte Cook. Please keep in mind that Monte Cook, not Monte Cook Games, is the owner of this IP. (Monte Cook is the founder and one of the owners of Monte Cook Games, but Diamond Throne is owned by Monte Cook, not Monte Cook Games.)

After that, we will be ready to send the e-books to all the backers. After that, we will start the printing process and distribution through Monte Cook Games. We had a long conversation this week with them and we just figured out the first steps.

We are satisfied with the work we have done and happy to have had the collaboration of good writers and artists, but the final test before release is always difficult and time-consuming. We appreciate your patience during these final steps.

Before doing that, we are also working to renew our website, allowing you access to the Diamond Throne KS e-books and to all other future Diamond Throne products. We will work on our social pages too, with more updates, and it would be easier to communicate directly with us.

We know that you are anxious—we are, too—but for such rich and detailed works there are many elements that deserve extra time. So, often, we spend more time reading, writing, fixing, and editing than on communication. We will try very hard to give you more updates.

We hope to have reassured those who feared there would be work interruptions, and we ask you to forgive us for a lack of communication.

Sincerely,

Your "Dragons" Friends

February Update
about 2 years ago – Sun, Feb 06, 2022 at 12:26:23 PM

Hi everyone, 

today we have a feast for your eyes.

Junior Dramojh Team

We have finished the sketches included in the Junior Dramojh Team level. They were made especially for backers who have answered our mail about this reward during the past months. You can see some of these cool sketches below. Our artists have worked hard in making them and tried to fulfill, when possible, your wishes and requests, Dramojh backers. We hope you will like them as we do.

ARCANA EVOLVED AND UNEARTHED

Arcana Evolved is in its final phase. 

The review has highlighted some technical sections that needed to be updated and fixed, therefore we have started with some minor changes and additions to these parts. We have also added new images to the book.

Arcana Unearthed is already concluded.

Other Good Updates & Stuff

Our graphics team is finalizing the character sheet, and, in the meantime, they are also working on the layout of the GM screen. Here are some pictures of the WIPs. Once the graphics and layout have been completed, we will be ready to start the production phase of these accessories, this month - we hope.


ADVENTURES

Our writers are hard at work writing the adventures of the campaign, and we should receive a good portion of the material shortly. We are sure they are doing a great job and we are curious to see the final result. Our cartographer is already working on some internal maps and the sketches created by our artists are already very interesting!

As soon as we receive the adventures, we will be ready to entrust our graphic designers and artists with the creation of the internal art.
