10 Adventure Outlines and the Future Plans for TOI

Update #3 · Sep 17, 2012 · 2 comments

Dear Backers,

Click here to download the 10 Kickstarter Exclusive Adventure Outlines. Even though this form of the project was unsuccessful, the team would still like to thank you for your support. Feel free to share them publicly and remember that any piece of them can be used to inspire a new story or adventure.

The dream for TOI is a high-quality, printed product. It was the original vision of an illustrated, full-color book that drew contributors and backers to the project in the first place and that is still the eventual goal. It is possible that TOI will be released at a later date as a digital only resource that, if it gains enough traction, could still become a physical product.

For now, the project is being put back into development and the contributors will be released. We have many, many talented authors who love the concept and scheduled time to work on it, but asking them to further rearrange their schedules is a losing proposition for everyone, including fans of these authors. I'm not yet sure what a future iteration of TOI will look like or who it will involve.

Backers, and those listening in, if I am not the world's greatest businessman or marketer, I hope you appreciate that I am honest and passionate. Whatever happens, I will find a way to contribute to the community in ways that both entertain and inspire.

You can keep an eye on my website for future projects, downloads, and thoughts.

I remain, very truly yours,

Michael J Winegar
