Welcome
To the ninety-first Briefing and the twelfth scheduled Briefing of 2018.
Dragonmeet 2018
The ICE team attended the Dragonmeet convention, setting up our stall and bedecking it with enticing products, including both hardcovers and softcovers of Shadow World: Jaiman: Land of Twilight. Dragonmeet continues to grow in size and had its largest number of attendees ever. A very successful convention in terms of sales (we sold out of Jaiman hardcovers and a number of other titles). We also had some useful discussions with three potential authors, a new artist, and another potential foreign language licensee.
Shadow World
Terry is back to work on Shadow World with Haalkitaine manuscript. He is also considering doing a small adventure set in SW Emer.
Rolemaster
Aaron Smalley has joined Joeri and Jonathan in battling RMU Creature Law. I may add additional support to help them get Creature Law finally under control and en route to completion.
Max has also sent through updates for the core ERA for Rolemaster software package so those will be uploaded very shortly for you to download at your convenience.
HARP and HARP SF
HARP Garden of Rain has been completed. I performed an editing pass, and the author was able to make the requisite changes very quickly. I’ve performed a second editing pass. HARP Garden of Rain is now ready textually so needs artwork commissioned and layout undertaken. Bradley is now working on a second adventure module for us – Dark Hunt.
The author of HARP Subterfuge has completed all of his minor corrections and the final draft is now with me for a final editing pass, with the only significant tasks being to double-check the balance of the Ninja profession and carefully check the new spells for the Beguiler and the Nightblade.
On HARP Bestiary, I have completed all of Colin’s chapters. He’s sent his amendments through and I am now happy with his chapters. John’s chapters are next.
Joel has sent a nearly final draft of the text and a huge bundle of art for HARP SF Poseidon Gambit.
Until next time
All that remains for me to do is wish you a very merry Christmas (or your choice of holiday).
Best wishes,
Nicholas
Director, Iron Crown Enterprises Ltd
