I figure it's time for another Weird Adventures progress report--and a couple of cool pieces of art by Johnathan Bingham and Felt. We have here the mugshot of a Hit-Fiend, one of the notorious assassins of the Hell Syndicate, and below, traveler in the astral plane.
I'm diligently at work on "City Confidential," the section overviewing the City itself, hitting the highlights of its neighborhoods and districts. This includes a lot of things hopefully of pratical use to adventurers: the Cuthbert Bannerman weaponry museum and gun emporium, the exotic Appothecary of Dr. Lao in Yiantown, and the charity hospital of St. Valiant in Grimalkin. Then there are the tantalizing hints at adventure itself: the strange fogs (and frogs) in the Corund Tunnel, the underground Fate Exchange, and the mysterious Monolith of Monolith Square, among others.
My writing I plan on completing by before the end of the summer. Relying on the charity of good folks to proofread my back-of-cocktail napkin scrawl so it can be turned into quality layouts means depending on their availability, so I can't predict things with absolute certainty, but the end is in sight now, my friends.
Looking forward to it as always, good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good feeling when I can see the end of a project. Even if I'm not there yet, I like to be able to see it. It's good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHappy Writing :-)
Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting, Trey! I'm really looking forward to seeing the City in all its sordid glory.
ReplyDeleteExciting for sure - that seems a huge amount of material. And the art is very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the last piece, it looks like a Dr.Strange comic from the 60s when Strange was at his height
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you were your continued support...and patience. :)
ReplyDelete@Porky - It covers a lot, though of course not always at great depth. The City section is sort of at a pocket travel guide level. Hopefully, it hints at things and offers a springboard rather than extensively detailing most stuff--with a few more indepth articles sprinkled in. The other sections cover topics roughly on the detail of my blog posts.
@Needles - Yeah, that was what I asked Dave to do and he delivered wonderfully.
Excellent news. And if you need any volunteers for a first read through, I am so there.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just may take you up on that.
ReplyDeleteAlso offering read through services. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. The more the merrier. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that Hit Fiend is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCool pics! Good luck finish up.
ReplyDelete@Risus - Johnathan did a great job. It's got some of that old school humor about it, I think.
ReplyDelete@Akrasia - Thanks!
Awesome! Also, hit-fiend may be the coolest demon-type ever.
ReplyDelete@Harald - Thanks.
