Status of Adventure 4, Always on Time

[Isklexi]

Keep at it; the adventures so far have been excellent, and I trust you will deliver similar quality with subsequent adventures. They're certainly worth the wait.

My group is on Dying Skyseer right now, and since we meet every two weeks, I'm not up against the wall awaiting the next module. We might get to that point, but worst case scenario is my gaming group substitutes Axis and Allies until the next module is available.

I do look forward to them all, as they are a blast to read (study, as my wife describes it).

Guys, you're not supposed to make me feel relaxed. C'mon, let's have some rancor.

The status is that we have art and maps. What's not done is the text. I'm editing and adding materials (typically we have an author write 60% -- the main body -- and I write 40% -- the little flavor bits of the world and the connections to the rest of the campaign).

Damn, I'm not very good at the internetz. I work in a world where product schedule extensions are the norm, so I'm used to it. I will say that I might be more relaxed because I'm just now reading Digging for Lies. I can only play Axis and Allies for so long, and with this material I'd *much* rather continue the campaign than not. So, in that vein, I'll try again..

You n00b! Where the &#%^ is the module I deserve! I can't believe this ^@$@ is slipping past the published schedule YOU put out there. Now get back in your basement and put out the high quality modules that I pay a small amount of money for in the time frame promised. If you don't, I'll take my cookies and go home.


hmm..my rant probably started out more internet like than it ended. /shrug

I do have an actual question though - do you feel like after adventure 4 that you will get back on track regarding the published timeframe?

One of the reasons we've put different authors on each adventure is so that delays in one shouldn't affect others. Thurston Hillman (rugult; he does the Pathfinder conversions) is writing #5, and so #4 being late won't have any effect on his writing.

That's not to say something else won't go wrong. So far we've had artists disappearing, writing back-up, and various family troubles. I would not be surprised if Morrus got hit by a comet or something.

I will do my best to avoid the Black Death.

So is there an ETA? I can only hold off starting #3 for another two weeks, and I was trying to make sure I had an adventure 'in hand' so to speak. An approximate deadline would be much appreciated.

Nah, you're from Winnipeg. It's the West Nile you have to watch out for.

(Sorry, it's my hometown, too. )

This is almost funny. My apartment has bed bugs.

This will be resolved on Thursday, and by hell or high water I will get the text to layout by Friday the 18th.

RangerWickett, I just wanted to chime in and say I love the work you guys are doing on this campaign. My players are continually astonished by just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Keep the quality coming, and don't stress too much over the delays. Zeit has been worth the wait.

Is this an appropriate time to say, "Don't let the bed bugs bite"?
