Coinciding with 69 pre-orders, I have a couple smaller announcements to make as well as some thoughts on new/revised funding thresholds.

First and foremost, I have “found” (she more found me) an editor! Please welcome Ava Islam to the Discordantopia team! With my estimate of 6,000 words, that totals the zine’s editing at $360, though that may change with the final word count.

Secondly, Tony Dowler has given me a lovely estimate for a half-letter dungeon map, that being $75 (they aren’t looking for other commissions at this time, lower your wallets). With the $1,000 funding goal, that would allow the zine to have two dungeon maps with that size. Thinking about where to fit this, however, got me thinking…

Where the hell am I gonna fit all this stuff!?

I think I have a solution to this self-made predicament. Inspired by dungeon pamphlets such as The Past’s Grasp, in order to give the zine a bit more room to breathe, two pamphlet adventures featuring Tony’s dungeon art could be a great way to get the best of both worlds. I feel that such a strange city locale needs an easy way to get into it, like an introductory adventure, that could really get the space it deserves through a pamphlet. 

This may change some things involving he printing funding threshold, but I’ll be sure to keep you all in the know. Finally, a pamphlet adventure could be a good thing to give backers early, considering it’s a consolidated experience. 

Thanks for reading! Hope you’re excited as I am for the future of Discordantopia!
