Okay, this is how I always wanted knacks to work but didn't know it! Really great work. The spellcasting knacks as minor actions is smart, and I like that some can be learned as skills.

So when is this thing coming out?!?

I was just coming to post a link to the preview...

Glad you like it.

As for when the book is coming out... as soon as we can get it out. Here's the timeline (without dates, because... *shrug*)

NOW: Layout tweaks and fixes are being incorporated into the pre-art layout proof.
ALSO NOW: Art has been ordered.

NEXT: When the pre-art layout proof comes back, it goes out to Kickstarter backers, and we'll collect typos and errors that we missed.
WHILE: Artists do their art thing.

THEN: Art comes back from the artists. Layout adds the art to the proof.
AND: We do a final proof round to tweak stuff that got thrown off by art being added (because it happens).

SUBSEQUENTLY: PDF is generated, as are print files for the printer. PDF goes up for sale on the web shop, print files go off to printer.

FINALLY: Books get sent to warehouse from printer/binder, and we start selling them!

Looks interesting! Also, nice to hear that you're continuing the tradition of sending out the pre-art layout proof to the Kickstarter backers (like myself!) It's a good thing.

I know you folks have gotten some grief over the pace of product, but I gotta say: What you've put out I've genuinely enjoyed, and you've managed to do better then the Onyx Path folks who Kickstarted Exalted 3rd Ed around the same time as the Earthdawn 4th campaign.

(One of these days I need to actually read through Travar. Haven't done that yet.)

Sounds a lot like he said "Tuesday" to me...

I love the Thread Weaving Knacks. They sound like they'll make playing a Spellcaster even more fun.

Might I suggest a Knack for the Elementalist spell Plant Feast where said feast is now guaranteed to be gluten-free? :evil:
