Board art update
Here's the current board art, minus the room names. I'm particularly happy with both sets of Twisty Passages; the passages "All Alike" are all alike, and the passages "All Different" are certainly all different! I would have to say my favorite room is a toss-up between the Twisty Passages (All Alike) and the Hall of Mists. (Click to embiggen.)
Other than that, there's not a lot of news to report. I've run a couple more playtests of the expansion (not as many as I'd like); and transferred the Kickstarter funds from Amazon's coffers to Game Salute's; and continued to polish my browser-playable ports of Adventure and Adventure 550. Mostly I've been occupied for the past couple of weeks with moving to San Francisco, apartment-hunting, apartment-cleaning, apartment-painting... and doing my actual job in between! But I think we're still on track.
Let me know in the comments what you think of the board art!

I played the PNP tonight, and the dark text over the rooms was very difficult to read. The art is nice, but the text was not good.
Creator Arthur O'Dwyer on June 12, 2012
@Glen: You guessed it; the white border is the cut-line for the final 12"x18" board. I'm pretty sure the final board won't have the white border, because of how the manufacturing process works: if one board were miscut by 0.1 inch, having a white border like that would really make the defect stand out, whereas having art all the way up to the edge of the board would make the defect basically unnoticeable.
Depending on what Game Salute advises, we might well wrap the board in a different sort of border: maybe edge the board in the same stalactite motif as the card faces. But most likely it'll just be like what you see here, minus the white rectangle.
Creator Glen Noctor on June 12, 2012
Is the white border there to show where the edge of the board will be or will that be on the finished game? Other than that everything looks amazing!
Creator Joshua Sauer on June 12, 2012
Looking good. The rooms themselves look superb, the connecting passages look a bit rough, but they are clearly not completely finished in some cases, so that's to be expected. Are there any dwarves hidden about through there? ;-)
Creator Bill Helman on June 12, 2012
Wow. The board does look awesome! Great job Katy. Looking forward to donating my second copy of the game to the University of Baltimore Langsdale Library Games & Gaming Collection!
Creator James Rowe on June 12, 2012
