This, my Shadow Branch campaign setting, my Mythic Greece setting/sourcebook, even the Eyros project that started here on ENWorld and that I should have finished many months ago  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> --all these, and more, are things that I'd still love to work on.
