ALMOST DONE (solo rules + timeline information)

Hi everyone! 
We did it! 
We funded GRANDMOTHERSHIP and each of the stretch goals I've planned, and I'm thankful to all of you for helping me out through this first crowdfunding experience. 
We're going through the last days of the campaign 

As for the solo rules, we'll be using much of the already generated content, but I'll be adding the following: 
- simple mechanics to let you explore and gather clues.
- dice-generated prompts to tell cool stories while you're moving forward to solve the encounter
- A memories generator to move stat points from GRANDMOTHER to MOTHERSHIP and vice-versa.
- Particular mini scenarios with questions to answer when solving an encounter or when you meet your end

We'll keep it simple to keep the spirit of GRANDMOTHERSHIP intact. All of these are ideas I want to apply, but if I feel that something will complicate the game dynamics, it will change. I will add, change and develop new ways of making this a reality if I feel that's needed. 

As for timelines, please keep in mind that we're all human, this is my first crowdfunding campaign, and things can happen, but this is more or less what's planned: 
- Once the campaign is finished, Hipólita will be editing the base game + Amanda P's encounter. This will be sent to you here with a Drive link once it's done. That should be during the first fortnight of March. 
- From there, we'll gather the encounters written by Dana and Kyle, the rest of the art pieces by Lucas, and the character sheet by Sinta. And I'll be writing the only thing I'm missing that's the solo rules. This will take the rest of March and some time from April since also all that new written stuff will need to go through Hipólita's editing eye. 
- Once everything is put together, I'll be sending everything to Jean so that he can do his layout magic with that. That will take approximately a month. So we'll be in May when the digital version of the game is done. This will be delivered through itch io keys. 
- For the printing, I'm still working on timelines. So I don't want to promise anything on this end yet. But as soon as I have the information, I'll update you. GRANDMOTHERSHIP will be my first physical project, so I want to do everything right and learn through the process.
- As said before on the campaign page, the fulfillment for physical copies will be done through Plus One Exp page, you'll receive a code for claiming GRANDMOTHERSHIP in physical (if that was the tier you pledged), and pay there for shipping. 

Some projects I recommend
Hiria: The Eternal City  is a solo journaling game written by  Peter Eijk  in which you try to track down someone through different versions of the same city. You might barely notice the changes when traveling to another version of Hiria, while in other cases, the city has changed beyond recognition. I'm a big Italo Calvino fan and this one it something I'm waiting for

These Stars Will Guide You Home is a solo journaling game about exploring an archipelago in search of a new home, played in two phases:  The Journey, in which you explore the sea, leading a fleet of thirteen ships through a mysterious archipelago, and The Epic, which takes place a century later, you are the descendant of the crew, writing down the legends of that epic journey. I've read Homer's Illiad and Oddysey when I was a teenager and this game makes me vibe
