ERRATA

It wouldn't be an homage to games of the 1970s or a true 9th Level game if we didnt screw something up.  Here is an optional rule ERRATA that was missed (and found by a backer, Thanks!) The TREASURE CHEST!

In the final room of the Maze!

My Stalwart Companions,

Layout is in final editing for the final book of the Mazes project.  The printing has been scheduled and the coverstock ordered.  If all goes well, we ship the project to the printer tomorrow - and we have MAZES soon.  Just wanted to share that piece of news with you all!

The Conjuring is Complete!

A FINAL FANTASY

My Stalwart Companions,

MAZES is in final (fantasy) editing.  I just sent the pdfs to our editor and producer Adriel for final layout checks.  After that, its off to the printer.  Because this is a zine project, we are making MAZES right here in Philadelphia, so our turn around time is going be shockingly fast.  Then we just need to mail them all out.

I thought that you may like to see some sneak peeks on a few pages from across the 4 books .  We're all really happy with the project - and we can't wait to share the game, and POLYMORPH, with you all.  

Sharpen your swords, and ready your spells,

Chris, The Maze Controller

DEEP IN THE MAZE TORCHLIGHT IS FLICKERING, IS THAT A DOOR?

Deep in the Maze

Stalwart adventurers, I know that you are excited to get your hands on MAZES - but it will be a little while longer.  When we started this project, we didn't realize how "big" the Mazes books were going to end up being - we just keep finding more and more content to stuff into them (to the point where we have had to start cutting things out*).

*Don't worry - most of the things that are hitting the cutting room floor will be the seeds for next years Zone Quest project.

TORCHLIGHT FLICKERS

The best news is that we thing you are going to love MAZES.  We have had the opportunity to play it all across the country this year - as we have gone to convention after convention.  The next real opportunity to try MAZES will be at GAMEHOLE CON (in Madison, Wisconsin) and then at PAX UNPLUGGED here in Philadelphia.  Our #1 priority with Mazes is to have it out and in your hands WELL BEFORE PAX UNPLUGGED.

IS THAT A DOOR?

We hope that it leads out of the Maze (and remains untrapped). We have the four manuscripts completed - and we are editing and editing and editing and editing now.  Did I mention that we were editing?  

YOURS IN ADVENTURE,

Chris O'Neill, Evil Wizard of the 9th Level
