There were a lot of places where I was careless. The lack of background checks and especially the lack of a contract is ultimately what did me in here, and I have no intention of repeating those oversights.

Unfortunately no. That's why I included Ilvaash here.

For whatever it's worth, I read Conan, but I'm a bit more familiar with older fantasy work than most. In terms of contemporary fantasy, the Ninth House/Locked Tomb books are the most recent series I've gotten invested in, and they have a lot more in common with the older pulps than one would...

Hello Everyone! The book is now out, and I’m here to make an announcement and an apology Over the last year, I’ve been riling everyone up over perceived threats to the integrity of Manual of the Planes 5e. I’ve lambasted Andrew Welker extensively, worked with lawyers on courses of action that...

I will make sure that it does

Hello everyone! I would like to give another update Andrew Welker has recently updated Manual of the Planes 5e while stating that he intends for this revised version to be the print version. Having reviewed it, I have noticed several changes which include -drastic reorganization of my written...

I said that you were likely to remove them, not that I wanted them in whatever you are still set on creating. Go right ahead and take us off the credits, for all the good that you think it may do. As I said, we're moving forward without any more expectation or need for your cooperation.

I have received additional correspondences from Andrew Welker regarding the last several posts I have made, and he is planning to remove all of mine and Afroakuma's credits from his Manual of the Planes 5e page in retaliation for my posting. He is also making legal threats which my lawyer has...

I wasn't speaking for you here. That said, there were other members of the team who preferred to remain anonymous who read the entire document and approved of everything within. The sheer number of team issues that I was seeking to mediate and resolve in personal chats dwarfs any writing...

I will take responsibility for this. Enraptured God was my epithet, and it is very likely to be changed. That said, I stand by the capacity to improve upon "The Mad God" in terms of clarity, uniqueness, and general decency. Our current candidates are "The Raving God" and "The Howling God"...

Section 1: Andrew’s Bids for Position The first concern with this book is Andrew’s numerous attempts to place himself at the center of the development team and establish some manner of sole authority over the book and its development. During the layout of the book, Andrew established himself in...

Alright, so it looks Andrew is trying muddy the waters on the Manual of the Planes 5e page with private messages, so it's high time that I get the full story out. I have confirmed with my lawyer that all of this is above-board and that Andrew cannot touch these statements with accusations of...

I am here to deliver good news! After months of prolonged issues and internal conflict, we have finally begun the process of preparing Manual of the Planes 5e for printing! I will warn in advance that not all of the digital textures transfer over well to physical print, meaning that certain...

I have my own theories as to why, but I would prefer to remain discreet for at least a bit longer.

If you're interested in me providing correspondences from other writers saying that they want the POD released as-is, I would be more than happy to provide transcripts from each of their conversations. As for Andrew not making public statements, one need only look at the Manual of the Planes 5e...
