Play Dirty 2: Even Dirtier

Kicked!
about 10 years ago – Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 01:40:42 PM

Hi folks!

Thanks to you, John Wick Presents has yet another successful Kickstarter Project. I never anticipated such a response. Sure, I knew folks wanted another Play Dirty, but this? Not in a million years.

Obviously, a huge THANK YOU is order.

Now, what happens next?

Well, the text for Play Dirty 1 (including all the new material!) is ready for editing. The text for PD2 should be done by Monday. I'll be sending that off to our editor. Depending on his schedule, that should take one or two weeks. Considering Christmas is around the corner, we may be able to squeeze it in.

All the art for the 15th Anniversary Play Dirty is done, too. Art for Play Dirty 2 is nearly finished.

Our resident layout/graphic designer Jessica Kauspedas will be tackling dropping in text as soon as the edits are back. 

Hopefully, we can get you all fully laid out and ready to print PDFs by the end of the month.

Our "PD GM Dice" are already on their way.

Then, we send the books off to the printers. That usually takes about 2 weeks. Finally, shipping.

So, PDFs in a couple of weeks and books for the New Year.

I'll be contacting all the folks about design work privately, so expect an email from me shortly.

If you have any other questions, please be sure to let me know!

Again: THANK YOU for such an amazing Kickstarter. You guys never cease to amaze me.

Take care,

John

Jess Heinig Unlocked! Next Stretch Goal: Make Play Dirty Invaluable!
about 10 years ago – Tue, Dec 02, 2014 at 02:27:04 PM

We've unlocked Jess Heinig's DLC! Yay! Now, for our next trick...

We're gonna make Play Dirty your invaluable GM resource. You'll want a copy of the book on the table at all times. Why?

Because in the margins of each page, our beautiful and talented layout artist, Jessica Kauspedas, has suggested we have two things: dice and NPC traits.

Flip to a random page and you get a random roll. We'll have a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20 on each page, set in the margin. You pick a d-type, flip to a page and you've got a roll. 

Also, in each margin, we'll have an adjective: "loyal," "friendly," "deceitful," "envious," "courageous," etc. When your players meet an NPC, just flip to three random pages and you've got three adjectives to describe that NPC.

Random dice rolls and an NPC generator RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

What's more, WE'RE DOING IT FOR BOTH BOOKS!

That's our next stretch goal. We set it at $16,000. 

You want to make Play Dirty and Play Dirty 2 your invaluable GM tools? Let's hit that stretch goal!
