Ptolus Photo Gallery: Page Proofs!

Our latest Ptolus online art gallery documents a pretty exciting day for Sue and me: the day the Ptolus page proofs came in from the printer! The proofs of the book itself and all its other components landed with a thud on our front porch in a number of overnight packages. Usually when a book comes in from the printer in page proofs it takes Sue only an hour or two to go over it, making sure all the pages are there, that the art reproduced properly, and so forth. With Ptolus, it took an entire day, ending with her racing to the Fed Ex office to send them back with our approvals so the book could be put on press.

This little photo gallery gives you a look at some of the pieces of the book, such as the poster map (both sides) and handouts. Click on the pieces below to see larger versions.

Sue examines each of the handouts to make sure they don't have any stray white edges on any side of the page.	"Side B" of the poster map depicts Goth Gulgamel and Jabel Shammar. Cartographer Ed Bourelle designed it so that the segments of the maps correspond to the folds, making it easier to use around the game table without revealing too much that the PCs haven't discovered yet.
Sue confirms that the version of the city map on the poster matches the one on the player's handout—a necessary precaution considering that we made some map changes right up to the deadline.	Checking each page of the 672-page book pretty much took the game table out of commission for the day.
