On November 7th, 2012, Sketchpad Studio released the first of many Acts of Villainy issues. Since then, we've maintained a fairly steady release schedule that's managed to debut 46 Solo issues, 4 Team issues, 4 Mastermind issues, 1 Special and 1 Acts of Heroism issue. That's 56 issues over the course of 52 weeks! Wow! It sure doesn't seem like that many.
This week we started the new year of books with Acts of Villainy: Solo #47 featuring Migraine. Through the next few weeks, we'll be releasing a few more Solo issues and a new feature called Acts of Villainy: Gangs. Each issue of Gangs will give the GM a new street gang to work with, along with any significant members that can be used in a campaign. Also coming up, we'll see the first release of Acts of Villainy: Duos, along with the first issue of AoV: Collected.
Speaking of Collected #1, let me try and explain some of the hold up. First, this is wholly on our end. As we were going through the older issues, we wanted to update the look and design to fit with the other issues. Additionally, there was some art that needed updating and some stats that needed cleaning up. So, while we're anxious to release the issue, we want to make sure it's the best issue we can release. Also, please keep in mind that there are only two of us handling the work and we want to keep up on our weekly issues as well. So, rather than let the new issues slip a bit, we're letting the Collected issues slip a bit so we can keep up with the new content. AoV: Collected #1 is coming along and will be released soon. Keep an eye on this blog for further developments and previews.
For those of you that bought the old issues, yes, they will be updated just like the book is. However, don't expect an update till after the Collected #1 is released. We view PDFs as living documents and like that we can update them, but we also want to get everything finished for the Collected volume.
We've also been looking at hosting a chat on Google+ Hangout, as well as running a one-shot here and there. We're still looking into the logistics of everything, but we'll be releasing some more information soon.
It's been an interesting year, with both high and low points, but we're happy to be moving into our second year of publications and can't wait to hear how you like them. Here's to a second year of AoV issues!
