Oh man, tell me about it. It became much worse once I got into management. Any job that expects you to work 60-80 hours a week for 27k a year (salary, no overtime) should just start buying slaves and cut out the middle man. :D Although, I did have a lot of fun at the bookstore. Getting to...

Hey BFG, One of the emails I sent was addressed to you as well. It had the first chapters of the second book for editing. Did you get it? BD

I can answer the crunch question. There is plenty of new crunch besides the stats for the NPCs. There are a number of new magic items, a new monster (a daemon), one demon lord, one archdevil, a whole abyssal plane, and a couple of artifacts to boot. BD

It's what they call a trade paperback in the biz (I used to manage a Barnes & Noble). So it's a bit bigger than the standard "mass-market" paperback. BD

I've been fortunate enough to work on the past three Xcrawl adventures as an editor (stats/and or prose), and I always find myself laughing out loud at some of the stuff Brendan comes up with. I think the game is a blast. It's kind of like the movie version of the Running Man crossed with...

Hey Morrus, I've sent you a couple of emails over the last two or three days. I know you've had some issues with your email, so I just want to make sure you got them. Aeryn

Update Ok folks, book 1 is done, edited, and according to Morrus, in the layout stage. Oh, and becasue editors never get the praise they deserve, I just want to say that Jeremy Forbing has done a hell of a job editing the first book. My prose has never looked better. In addition to the...

No hatchet job here. Just good solid editing. I think some writers might see a good editor's changes as a personal attack, an affront to their "perfect" prose. Those writers need to get over themselves. ;) Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry, I don't think we've seen the last of our...

Isn't it though? Wait to you see the interior stuff. :D Oh, and thanks for the great edit. My prose has never looked better. :D BD

Blackdirge Publishing products are now available at Your Games Now. BD

You sir, have read my mind. You can expect a series of products from Blackdirge Publishing in the near future covering just what you suggested, and maybe a bit more. ;) BD

Blackdirge Publishing goes back to basics with the latest installment of the Master at Arms series. The cudgel thug is a master that most primitive of weapons – the humble club. Part fighter and part rogue, the cudgel thug combines stealth and agility with the effectively brutal techniques of an...

Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't hide under Ed's skirts forever. :D BD

Blackdirge Publishing is happy to announce that its one-year tenure as an imprint of Skeleton Key Games is at an end. The break is a mutual agreement between Aeryn Rudel of Blackdirge Publishing and Ed Bourelle of Skeleton Key Games, and was planned from the beginning of the partnership...

Well, you certainly have the following to do it. No doubt about that. Couldn't you change 'loth to daemon to fly under the OGL radar? That's what I did. BD

For authors whoe derive their story hour material from game sessions, there is another issue to consider. Do the players in the game, whose characters' actions tell the story, have any stake in the authorship, and therefore the rights, to a story hour? Personally, I have no idea, and it might...

Very cool, Pogre. I love the visual aids. BD

I think the publication of my story hour has placed me firmly in the role of guinea pig (perfectly willing, of course), and if the books sell well, then I expect you will see other story hours given the same treatment. If more story hours are published, then great tales like Sep's, Destan's...
