Patreon Poll (Patreon)

Thank you for your interest in (and support for) Shallow Graves. Now that I've posted all my planned previews (plus patron-selected content), let's talk about what comes next:

First, I'm currently in the proofing phase, which is the last step before this book goes up for sale on Storyteller's Vault. Even that isn't the last step. The initial release will come with a request for feedback via an errata form where you can report typos, mechanical errors, and places where the text is unclear. The errata period will be about two weeks long, after which the designer and I will implement the corrections, add page numbers to the index, and update all the p. XXs.

For those of you not familiar with the process, the reason that p. XXs and indexing can't be done first is that sometimes a bit of errata will push part of one page onto another, so a Variation that appears on p. 95 of the pre-errata version might wind up on p. 96 or even p. 97. Compounded over dozens of fixes, potentially hundreds of p. XXs could wind up pointing to the wrong page, which defeats their purpose. We want the index and page references to be accurate in the final version of the book, so they won't be in the pre-errata version.

Second, if you know people who might be interested in Shallow Graves, please point them to this page or send them a link to one of the public preview pages (the Summoner Form is a good starting point). The previews here are meant to give people a sense of what this book contains so that they can decide whether they'll get enough use out of it to justify spending money on it. The page itself gives me a way to connect with people, answer questions, and solicit input on works in progress (as well as help me fund the next project).

Third, I'd like to know what you want to see on this page going forward, so I've included a poll.
