FaeCraft Ahead!

FaeCraft is just about to head to Matt, the designer, after a vicious cycle of editing. Words, phrases, charts, tables, and characters all trimmed, skimmed, and slimmed. It looks to be about 40 pages, so a little shorter than CraftWork, but it feels more packed with procedure.

It has been a more deliberate and focused process, with a lot of lessons learned from the first volume, including collaborative design processes, bookmaking, front loading content decisions, etc. All great stuff that eases the production, smoothes communication, and, I think, reduces cost. 

It is probably overstated, but there is a lot to be said for an iterated, single product oriented, and bounded growth process of learning new things in a low stakes environment. There is a range of possible models, a lot of room for creativity, and a welcoming and accepting audience. That isn't true in so many places!

I am very excited to see it coming to fruition!
