What’s Going on with Misfit Studios
Let’s start off by saying Happy New Year, everyone! From Misfit Studios to you all, I hope you have a great 2022 and things get better for us all, no matter where in the world we may be.
BIG leaps forward on Darwin’s World in December. It was a lot of long, tedious work, but the section containing hundreds of tables for scavenging items is finally written, referenced, and double-checked. Whew. Almost 100 pages (in manuscript form, anyway) of tables is a lot of work. It’s done, though, so now all that’s left is editing that last of it, coloring the remaining art, and doing the layout. So, expect the new core book in Q1 of 2022 (fingers crossed)!
As normal, last month also saw a lot of great stock art releases from our various artists. Our stock art sales are as strong as ever as a result (thank you, everyone.) We also saw two small releases for Savage Worlds with our new Old West Archetypes line-up. Both are doing pretty well with our fans, so far.
