Hi all.

Just a note, struggling with some personal issues, which I can usually deal with, but the pile-on of the coronovirus, the ongoing frustration of the orange clown somehow in charge of our country and wreaking destruction on the environment while trying to sabotage the upcoming election, and then the other day our power went out for 12 hours (a truck knocked out an overhead cable nearby). 12 hours without any power was sheer agony! Thank goodness for my iphone full of NPR podcasts. The other blessing was that the weather was cool, not the usual 90° F range, so it did not get hot in my house.

I feel and can certainly empathize with your pain.  I keep begging my wife to buy a generator, but we still don't have one yet. :\

Crivens I assume you meant 'rid' rather than 'ride' but I did have a great image of a tiny circus clown-car pulling up at the White House, and Trump and his incompetent crew all piling out in clown costumes. It made me smile.

That image would work in almost any other administration, but Trump = Pennywise.

My tentative schedule (in case anyone is interested, and assuming the U.S. is not embroiled in civil war after 11/3).

11/1: finish 'Subterfuge' layout (HARP book)
12/1: New SW Adventure
2/1: Emer IV (most of the art already done).

Glad to hear the art for Emer is coming along, and I look forward to the new SW adventure!

Actually, much of Emer IV background is already written, but I need to do a few maps, and tackle the City of the Dead...

Where does HARP Bestiary fit in on the layout schedule.  That is the book I am most looking forward to.

Nicholas would be better able to answer that; in any case it will not come to me before I finish Subterfuge.

Bah.  The City of the Dead should be a standalone book, classic megadungeon.  Perhaps with iterative updates available to patreon-like subscribers.  I think trying for fewer, larger works with broader foci is damaging your ability to release, Terry.

I rather like this idea, actually. That way I can complete Emer IV, and then do justice to the City on its own. I am discussing it with Nicholas.

I think it is a nice idea too.

Is there any plan to do something for the Falias continent?  I've been running a sandbox campaign centered around the Bokerean U.K.
