Two Weeks
Two weeks to go and things are going well. I’m currently staring down the barrel of a bachelor weekend so, aside from tending to the animals and not sliding completely into dishevelment, I’m going to focus completely on Five-Story Drop, both in writing and in catching up on some inspirado (and probably at the same time).

Topic of Discussion
PEGInc.com forum member cbooth is looking for details from folks who are playing/have played Streets of Bedlam. My hope is that many of you fall into one or both of those categories. Would you mind dropping by the forum thread and giving him some advice?

The Future!
I was hit by a major bolt of inspiration for a Streets of Bedlam supplement (beyond the currently-in-planning Judges + Kings) that I think folks will really dig. But I’m not touching it until 5SD and the straggler scenarios are finished. Still, I’m assembling the team to get some of the wheels turning for when I am ready to launch.

Missed last week’s update so let’s get to the details:

“Does a Body Good” – 95%
“Life in the Fast Lane” – 30%
“The Burial Plot” – 60%
“The Man’s Got a Real Backscratcher” – 20%
“Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man” – 80%

That’s what’s done so far. Not what I was aiming for, not what I was hoping for, but it’s the truth.

What I do on Little Fears projects when deadlines get missed one too many times is set a done-by date where, if the product is not out, I promise to release it for free. So far, that’s motivated me to finish every project where I’ve set that deadline.

Since a bunch of you are already owed Five-Story Drop, I can’t do that. But what I can do it this:

If Five-Story Drop isn’t out in PDF by Friday, June 14th, each and every Kickstarter backer at the $45 or higher pledge level will receive the third Streets of Bedlam book (tentatively titled Judges + Kings) in print and PDF for free when it releases including shipping (which will be sent separately from SoB and 5SD; it will not delay your already-due shipment).

So, there ya go. That’s the ultimatum. I’ve yet to miss one of these. And I don’t intend on starting now.

June 14th. Mark it on your calendars.

See you next Friday.

Sorry I missed updating you all on Friday but the week was, once again, crazy busy. The good news is that I made solid progress on “Does a Body Good” so I should finish up three of the five stories this week. (“Does a Body Good”, “Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man”, and “The Burial Plot” for those wondering.)

I cleared my plate of all other post-day job responsibilities so my focus will be entirely on Five-Story Drop until it’s finished.

I will do my best to get it done by month’s end. I will update again this Friday will a full breakdown of all five scenarios.

Welcome to the first of the Five-Story Drop updates. Work has been settling down some so I managed to plug away at Five-Story Drop this week. I didn’t manage my one hour every day goal but will be sticking to that as closely as I can from hereon out. This week, I focused on finishing up “Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man” which isn’t complete but is in much better shape. I also inserted everything I did have done into layout so I can see at a glance where things are at. I revised some of the intro section as well to make the book more useful for players and GMs.

This weekend, I aim to finish up “Eli Mendoza” and focus on getting “The Burial Plot” further along and adding more meat to “Life in the Fast Lane.” This time next week, my goal is to have 2 of the 5 scenarios completed.
