What should Terry do next?
« on: June 13, 2008, 07:47:12 AM »
I'm done with Xa-ar! (Barring any last few edits) and now I don't know what to do with myself. Suggestions?

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I would suggest to concentrate on Jaiman. It would be beautiful to have at least on continent completly developed. And for sure such an old continet such as Jaiman!
So conjuring the map in my mind there could be something like:
U-Lyshak and southern Saralis
or
Ulor and the Wilderness of Ly-Aran
or
Eternal Darkness in NW Jaiman (containing the old Iron Wind, Quellborn and also the Lunak area)

I?m really looking forward to get my hands on Xaar!

Wow, super great Terry!    I'd wait to say Nice Job until I read it but I have complete faith, so Nice Job!  Can't wait to see it.

I think the rest of Emer would be great.   Although Artifacts & Lost Technology might be a useful and hopefully quick, diversion from the typical sourcebooks.  I figure there's a some already written from the old Addendum that many folks no longer have access to.   And I figure it would probably write quicker, and be a bit shorter, then a regional sourcebook.

So my vote went to Emer.

I voted Emer 3 because my current game is set in Emer. But anything you can write is good for me.

Honestly, I'd like to continue reading When gods forget and Shadowstone and run modules with another book for Urulan, and The Alliance, and Vashaan Domain, and the war against Vulth Horde, and Artifacts, and (got the message?  ;D)

Thanks for the info, I'll be check the forums to know when it's available to buy.

Hullo,

Good thing aye! Voted Emer, but would rather see U-Lyshak or Urulan. Anyways, I'll buy anything that is Kulthea.

Cheers!

I voted for Emer III, just because I want to see what's hiding in those Jinteni ruins called "the lost city".

This sounds excellent Terry - how lengthy are the adventures?  Are they similar to what was in Eidolon or more like Emer I/II (which were more like a paragraph or two of ideas)?

They vary in length from the Emer ones to a few which are fairly involved. Some are more exploration, while some are more interaction. Overall though, adventures start on page 41 and run through page 106. There may actually be more than 16, as some are linked.

Terry,

   I voted for Emer as I'm enjoying reading Emer I.

I voted Emer III, but any of the usual suspects : Emer III, Emer IV or Artifacts would do the trick of getting me a fix of SW stuff :D :D

My my, it's looking like Emer is the big winner, though I'm pleased some people still want to see some more Shadowstone. I have a feeling it will be both of those, maybe that SpaceMaster story (just cause of poor Patrick's backstory).

Now go out and buy Xa-ar! And please take a moment to review it!   ;)
