[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4751943, member: 7394"] Geekiness is difficult to quantify. It's also been years since I've actually wanted to test my tolerances for alcohol. Was I part of that? I beat a hasty retreat from that panel so I could meet up with an old friend I almost never get to see. What have I been up to? A good amount of Paizo stuff. Reign of Discordia - that was written a year ago for the True20 system and now we're expanding it out to the Traveller system. Several other projects which are still in the unannounced stages. I've never been the best gauge for the freelance environment on the whole. I've never been the guy to toil away on a product for four months, wait a year for it to get published, and then never get paid because the company goes under. :p (OK, that did in fact happen once, but I try not to think about that too much). Overall, my assessment is that right now most of the companies providing freelance work for 3.5 (and related systems) are the ones who were providing work for the same in the last year before the release of 4E. However, the hesitancy to commit to new 3.5/OGL products doesn't seem to be there like there was before. There's a lot of interest in the Pathfinder compatibility license and there's more interest in different systems altogether (Traveller, Runequest, Shadowrun, etc.) than I've seen since before the release of 3E. Right now I have quite a bit on my plate, some of which pertains to the topic at hand, much of which does not. Also, as already mentioned, be watching for Pathfinder AP's 3rd Legacy of Fire adventure as well as most of the monsters therein. [/QUOTE]
