[QUOTE="shannona, post: 8491738, member: 42455"] Thanks! If there's a product without my history, it's for one of two reasons. (1) Early on I had a compatriot in writing, Kevin Kulp, but he left the project after just a year or two. There was an interim where I hadn't yet taken over the products he was doing, and so some products ended up without histories. (2) At some point, we'd published all the products that DTRPG had easy access to at the time, and they started appearing one every month or something when they'd manage to purchase and digitize a missing book. I write histories for a few of those, and then we gradually lost track of each other, so I didn't know what they were doing or when they were appearing (whereas I used to get regular spreadsheets of upcoming products during the "busy" couple of years when most of the PDFs went out). So, DTRPG was really quite dedicated to keeping me on until pretty much the end, or at least until we got to the long part of the long tail. As for seeing context for everything: I'm hoping for the 50th anniversary, in 2024, to have four books ready for your reading, covering OD&D, AD&D 1e, BD&D, and the tail end of Mystara publication afterward. I've got the OD&D and AD&D 1e books done, at least in draft, and start in on BD&D in early 2022. The histories are expanded, normalized, polished, and generally a big upgrade even from the work I did for DTRPG. [/QUOTE]
