This takes center stage by the end of the month. Should be in layout beginning of April, shooting for a June release.
Errata-ed, edit-ed, rework-ed to make even better then the pdfs. If you bought already, thank you, and we'll get that hardback to you asap. If you waited on this one, please take another look, the last few months of us "being quiet" is about to pay off!
Skeeter Green, working tirelessly
Just a heads up on Ra Sub (and Cyclopean Deeps):
CD Swords & Wizardry went to layout; next is the RA Sub. We have backlog right now, and after that we're sending it off to print. The goal is to get the S&W stuff back from the printer for our Trip to NTRPGCon in early June.
the PF books will go to layout early/mid April. They will (fingers crossed) be available in July, probably not in time for PaizoCon, but Im trying....

Nice one Skeeter. Even more RA stuff! Thanks. :)
(When it comes to kickstarters, late doesnt matter in my view. It's late and silent that's the big sin).
Very cool! We get an adventure from Skeeter! We have waited this long, I guess we can wait a little longer for another adventure:)
Skeeter: For what it's worth, I agree with and appreciate your decision to add more value at the expense of schedule.
I can wait, and I'll be patient.
Yeah I have no desire, ever, to have a rushed product just to get it on time. As a big Battlefield PC Gamer as well and RPGer that is what we got with the latest game in the franchise, a great game ruined by bugs. Looking at my gaming stats the game crashes 1/4 of the times I play it!
So keeping people informed and improving the product is the way ahead. maybe a KS email for those who don;t come here or the FGG forum would be in order.
Also hahahaha

Good news. I'm another who is happy to wait a little longer for a 'good' product.
As long as we're being updated (which we are!), I'm happy.
(Though I am glad you learned your lesson with the whole 'sub' thing... It didn't really work out that well...)
Sounds good to me!

I'm always OK with waiting, esp. when new content is added (safe to say that Razor Coast was well worth the wait!).
I'm glad to hear that Razor Coast turned out well, I didn't back that project but I did watch as all the drama and frustration unfolded around its fulfillment. If I had the extra cash I would pick it up, but between Dr. bills and limited buys (FGG and a few others) my gaming dollars are all tied up.
Good to hear that people are happy with it.
Compiling/editing going well, I look to start ch7 edits tomorrow, and writing begins Monday. Have some good ideas for "classic" monsters and bad guys, not quite as "out there" as level 14 in RA lol

So does this mean that there will be two (in total) ToT levels, or will there be three - or more?
Sorry to seem overly focused on the Tunnels of Terror - they are just the perfect sort of "low-level" connection I am looking for to start a full RA campaign. While I think Bill has the magic touch when it comes to low-level content, I have no doubts about Skeeter's ability seeing some of his exiting RA work and IMO Mr Clatworthy has more than already proven himself with his RA installments.
Just wondering how many total ToT levels we are going to end up with and who is going to write them - the latter being more curiosity while the former is the DM in me trying to plan the whole thing out.

Aux-
There will be at least 3 levels to ToT in this subscription. Maybe more if the muse strikes me. Fingers crossed!
SG
Just figured out there may be more than I thought....Ill keep you guys informed.

Just one problem, the characters that I had that went through level one are now level 12! Will have to wait and run these for a new group I guess.

Going through this, there are a LOT of changes being made. This will not look like your pdfs, pretty much at all. Chapters/issues are being re-ordered to make better sense, level connections are being corrected, a little better sense of continuity is being established, there will be full Level 1D with 3(?) maps, level 2C with 3(?) maps, and level 3D with 2 maps. Lots of work, but this may be some of the better low-level content going on. I really enjoy it!
Additional encounters (like in the Encounters pdf) are being added.
And its our typical fare in the dungeon: tricks, traps, puzzles, and plenty to let your entry-level PCs get their feet wet...goal is to add approx +50% to the existing word count, too!

So Skeeter,
After all those changes will the pdf's be updated or will there be a PDF of the actual book when it comes out?
I love my books but these days I print and run games out of PDFs. Then I can feel free to mark them up etc.
I have been running RA as a one off (when the whole group does not show up), have run three sessions and love it. They have run hard through the Mouth of Doom (I started them at 4th level).
With all the new material when I actually start my campaign of Frog/Necro stuff when my Serpent Skull group finishes (just started chapter 6 after three years) I think it will be a first level group rather than jumping them up any.
Looking forward to doing that and all the new stuff.
Hopefully you will take a look at the scale issue on level 1D as well. Some areas look 5', others 10'.
Excellent news, I also hope the PDFs will be updated. I am pretty sure we'll get a sub 1-6 compilation PDF.
A new, fully compiled pdf will be available to everyone who pre-ordered when we go to print.
Aux - ToT are actually quite a distance from RA proper (in the Dragonmarsh); that being said, there area couple ways to get to RA, if you want to traverse the Under Realms.
brv - I'll will certainly look at it :-)
All - the nice thing about the way Im rewriting these is that while they all work together (there is a theme that carries through 3 levels), each can be broken out to be used in other places very easily.
For the amount of time you've all had to wait, I want to make this a product that is multi-use, so you can fit it anywhere in your campaign.

Thanks Skeeter, it may be me but I was never able to figure it out. I ended up just converting the rooms on the fly as it made sense to us. Otherwise some rooms seemed either way too small or others way too large.
Will this be available in time for the end of the Barakus kickstarter (if / when we hit the add-on goal)?
