Also improved our renaissance library (the book went to Agamemnon as an early Christmas gift since shipping to Estonia was ridiculous). Looks like the SA chapter might be the next one on the editing table.
I put in 4,000 words today and an editing pass.

For context, Stephen King mentions that he puts out about 2,000 words per day.

I am going to sleep now.

Sleep.

Thanks for the update! It seems like the new money system keeps you busy.

To put it mildly, yes.

So we dropped the money thing for now, as it's mindbogglingly time consuming and we hammered on the demo adventure instead this week so that Agamemnon could run it on the upcoming weekend. We've had the concept in our minds for a long time, but came up with a proper outline, pre-gen PCs and their interconnected weave of SA's, etc. It's going to be such a wonderful mess! :twisted:

Also, I had a literal fire at work today, so, we got a lot more done than we usually would have -- worked late thus and couldn't make it to the sword fight. Spent that time on a skype call instead.

Demo adventure sounds great. Sounds like everything else is getting more finished as well ;)

Demo adventure is basically done, but we didn't get the chance to play it last night. A couple of my players had things come up, so we shelved it until we had a fuller house.

I am pretty psyched to release the whole package though. Just needs cleaned up and made pretty.

Now! Back to the beta!

Brand new (and absolutely brutal) rules for exposure, deprivation and fatigue. And yes, it's 1AM again, so, it's rather thematic now that I think of it.
