I've been working on the historical atlas of Arcél, and I have just three maps to go. Yay. (I started it about five years ago.)

I'm curious how best to release this material. So if you're interested, please answer the poll above.

I also worry a bit about the history of unknown lands, full of difficult unfamiliar names, being too dry. I've tried to humanize the commentary with particular personalities, but I wonder if anyone has good ideas on what makes this sort of thing more interesting. Pictures? Cultural descriptions? Stories and anecdotes? Quotes from the natives?

Cultural descriptions are key, especially ones that give us a real material understanding of what the people and their day-to-day existence are like. Occasional images if you want -- I'd be most interested in seeing Uytai.

I voted for a gradual reveal because I think those are fun, but either way I'm just excited to see it. Your constuff is always a pleasure.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like gradual is the way to go. That also has the advantage that the later, more complicated maps get extra thought along the way.

The maps and commentary are done now, but I need to go over it again and add some more stuff. I think I have a neat idea for adding something of interest to each section.

There's not enough info about it to make even a guess. I hope Zomp will include it.
[EDIT]
And what might we consider a tentative release date?
