Well, this is making me feel like a kid again. I keep checking in, thinking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

Now guess how many times I have to check in/on with writers (ahem), editors, artists, layout gurus, etc, ...

Character Law and Spell Law are now ready to go. Craig is now working his way through Arms Law.

We still have some essential legalese from Aurigas to get completed. That has to be done. When you see how the playtest is going to be run, you will understand.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

 But is it a RM kill, with a great crit or a D&D kill? ;D

Hehe..  No crit. Just slooowly nibbling at my few patience-hits... I have very low SD and will probably go insane before I ever get to read RMU

Much as we're eager to see RMU, we understand that it has to be right before it's released for beta  - i.e. "you can't rush perfection!"

I for one would rather wait and see a superior product than get an inferior one sooner.

I'm pretty sure I'm the one dying under the pressure. Those Spell Law tables were a nightmare! :O

...and guess what Arms Law have in spades? :P

Focus on something else besides RMU not being here. :)  Think about how all the smart kids will see RM as cool!

Legalese now in.

Thom has two switches to flick into go mode, then I have a switch to flick regarding the Briefing. Once the three switches are flipped to go, then Character Law and Spell Law will be available for Public Playtest.

Switches flicked for Character Law and Spell Law.

Arms Law still in layout phase.

Hopefully this week. :)

Due to some issues with mobile PDF readers people have had with the Character & Spell Law, I've made sure that ALL tables are InDesign tables in the Arms Law book which has increased the time taken unfortunately. :(

...and the grey hairs. :P
