Final Alternate Cover Art, Stretch Goal #6, What's next?

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a pleasant weekend (and if you're in the US, that you got a chance to vote.)

Final Alternate Art
I've uploaded the FINAL art from Brett Hess for his alternate cover for Evil Never Dies. Check it out!



Stretch Goal 6
We're getting closer and closer to the next stretch goal. This is a great one too because in addition to Bob's compelling descriptions of each creature (or person) you encounter, if we hit this goal, we'll be adding MORE art to the book to go along with each stat block.

What's next?
Things are moving along right on schedule. 

• The manuscript is already done and I've been making a second editing pass over it.
• We already have the encounter art order written up for part 1 and I'll pass it over to Dan once we hit stretch goal #6. When I get that art back, I'll send over the request for part 2.
• Brett is making great progress on the maps (#2 is nearly done).
• Bob is working on the additional content for the Town of Emerson. 
• Raven and I are meeting tomorrow to begin preliminary layout.

Update to the (work in progress) alternate cover art from Brett Hess

Hi everyone,

Every time my phone chimes, I look to see if it's someone on the Evil Never Dies team (and I'm rarely disappointed, we're a chatty bunch!) Ten minutes ago, it was Brett showing me his daily work in progress photo for the alternate art and I wanted to show you all as fast as possible.



I think it's amazing and I'd love to hear what you think in the comments!

As a reminder, this alternate cover art is available on both the standard and deluxe editions of Evil Never Dies. I've updated the thumbnails for the alternate Pledge Levels and Add-ons too.

Brett Hess Alternate Art Deluxe Edition
about 2 months ago – Sat, Nov 02, 2024 at 07:30:31 PM

Hi everyone!

The Pledge Level and the Add-on for the Deluxe Pledge (featuring alternate cover art by Brett Hess) are now active.

I'd like to point out that the two Deluxe Pledge Levels (Dan Smith and Brett Hess editions) are identical except for the cover art on the Softcover and Hardback books. *Yes the Brett Hess Deluxe Pledge still shows the original Dan Smith art, but that will be updated as soon as we have it.*

Here is the latest work in progress shot of the alternate art. It will definitely be finished before this campaign ends so you can see exactly what you are getting.
 


Thanks, 
Chris

Stretch Goal #5 Broken!!

Wow!!

You guys are murder-hoboing your way through this dungeon of stretch goals. I'm gonna have to really dig deep to come up with new challenges!! ;)

Seriously though, thank you so much for all the support! Words just don't begin to cover it.

As I mentioned, you broke through Stretch Goal #5, which unlocks the alternate art for the Deluxe Edition as well as the standard edition. (I have a new pic of the alt art in progress, which I'll show in a moment.)

So we're adding the Brett Hess Alternate Art Deluxe Edition of Evil Never Dies as a pledge level and an add-on today. Speaking of which, since you asked, we made the Brett Hess Alternate Art Cover of the Standard Edition of Evil Never Dies available as a pledge level as well. (Not sure why I didn't do that before, but it's done now.)

Brett just informed me that in addition to working on the alternate cover art, he's also almost done with Map #2 (which means he's ahead of schedule!) Go Brett!

Speaking of Brett, here is an updated work-in-progress shot of the alternate cover art.

Thanks everyone!! We could not do any of this without you!
