After informing family and friends, the time has now come to speak to our customers and freelancers.
I have been diagnosed with skin cancer, and will be undergoing surgery and treatment over the next couple of weeks -- and, as such, I have made the following decision:
Adamant Entertainment will be going on a production hiatus until February, while I receive treatment. Subscriptions to THRILLING TALES, AMAZING TRIPLE ACTION and IMPERIAL AGE will resume at that time, and new launches (Like OMEGA BRIEFING and MARS) will occur.
I'm not going anywhere, and neither is Adamant! However..... for the next month or so, my attention will be focused on beating this thing. I've got big plans for Adamant in 2007, and I'm not going to let a little thing like my health get in the way.
Take your time GMS. Your health is far more important than our hobby. I sincerely believe that you will beat this and you have my best wishes.

GMS, take all the time you need. We'd rather have you healthy than have a new supplement out sooner.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Relax and take care of yourself, your projects and the Adamant community will be here when you get back (stressing over 'things to do' won't help, so don't). Hopefully everything goes well with your surgery and your recovery's swift and complete!
