I hope you all will be pleased with the new, greatly expanded, edition of Haalkitaine! Sewers and catacombs and adventures, oh my!

And two new adventure releases already in the works. both set in Jaiman, with possible links to Haalkitaine (but can be run independently). One is set in the Zor Wastes, the next in an isolated monastery in the hills of central Rhakhaan.

Meanwhile I am working on Emer IV, and that mysterious book about NE Jaiman, with hidden Taranian Tech and warring city-states...

Fantastic.  Thank you for the hard work, sweat and tears. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Haalkitaine is now available!

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294031/Shadow-World-Haalkitaine--The-Court-of-Rhakhaan?src=newest

Do you have a release date for a print version?

I expect later in November. I know that print versions are desired for Dragonmeet. I am working on the print version now (different files involved).

Previews don't seem to be enabled for Haalkitaine. That's not going to bother me, but it might some.

You mean beyond the cover? Yes, but they are just title and credits pages. The back cover image I uploaded tells you more.

Catching my breath after Haalkitaine. Thinking about three projects on Deck:

• Jaiman adventure, about 20pp PDF.

• NE Jaiman (an all new Wuliris, another big module). How many of you bought Xaar? Did you know there was a free attachment of handouts, and if so, did you use it and would similar be useful in the future?

• Emer IV, the final quadrant

I bought it, great module. I generally find handouts to be a good thing. They were one of the things I really liked about Call of Cthulhu game resources. 


• Emer IV, the final quadrant
Not sure how I feel about that as a final title.  ;D

Maybe something a little more Andraaxy?  :P

Just paid for Haalkitaine and am downloading it now!

I liked the handouts for Xaar, especially since some of the handouts had "character" to them (i.e. were irregular, etc).  I printed them out, cut them out and my players liked that they got real stuff to look at and ponder over.  I would give a thumbs up for this sort of thing for future modules.

Glad to hear that some people liked the handouts! Almost pays for my splurge on all those fonts! ;-) So I might try handouts again in an upcoming adventure....

Meanwhile, my music to inspire me as I continue working on Emer IV: Desert Quadrant...

Actually I used to listen to the original version while writing Court of Ardor. Who remembers that 'Rogue Module'?!

Sorry if this isn't the best place to post this. I kind of felt like I shouldn't be the one to start an errata thread for your book.

Page 20 "Loremaster Reckoning." Is the g supposed to be a very stylized g?

In that same paragraph it looks like the numbers 9 and 7 ended up as subscript every time they were used Not sure if that is a stylistic choice or not, but in case not I figured better to point it out.

Under the Winter section.
1•8 isn't boldface like the others.

Under Spring
2•18 isn't boldface like the others.

Under Summer 3•8 & 3•35 aren't boldface.

Under Autumn 4•11 Crown Holiday: Anniversary of the gift of the crowns to the original six realms of Rhakhaan. I suspect you meant to say original six realms of Jaiman

Under Fall
5•35 & 5•35-5•37 aren't boldface.

You Have Court of Ardor? Good for you; it is a rare commodity now. I sold my last spare a few years back for over $400. Now it and my last Lorien are sealed in plastic.

Re: Africa, odd, I had to copy and paste the link; clicking did not work. Yes I have seen that one--Weird Al is hilarious as usual (oh that wig!) but I miss seeing little Rivers.
