QuestWorlds Update: core rules are currently in editing

A status update from QuestWorlds line editor Ian Cooper:

"The Core Rules are currently in editing. As I wrote much of the manuscript, I asked Susan O'Brien to step in to edit the text. It was long enough that we breaking the manuscript into two parts. I have been through Susan's edits for the first half, and responded, which now need review. I am about to tackle the second half. It's worth taking our time to get this right as the edits will really help in our goal to make the rules clear to folks. 

Art for Questworlds is by the amazing Lionel Marty and we are close to done. Lots of amazing art and our cover is already in. I have four more pieces of art direction to find time to write, and then we can close out this volume. 

So we are at the point we where will begin conversations around planning for layout, graphic design and some of the additional elements like tables, charts, and character sheets. 

We are close now. And once it is done, we can focus more fully on the second core book, Worlds and Quests."
