What’s Going on with Misfit Studios
July saw us return to DriveThru’s print program by adding a few titles that will be available there via Print On Demand once we approve the proof copies. Among the first of these will be our recent Love & Justice Volume 1 release, which is selling very well.
Along with the usual stock art we present each month (including some from several new artists), we also released the first of our archetype series for Darwin’s World, Nuclear Edition, the Scav. These small PDF releases provide a starting point for wasteland characters. Expect more of these as we build up to the core book’s release.
So far as the core book goes, I’m putting time into coloring the interior art until I catch up to the point where the text is all ready to go. This is giving me a much-needed break from writing, editing, and rules conversions.
