New Articles!
With the iPhone in Action book off my back*, I've got some of my creative energy back, and that's gotten me more enthusiastic about writing RPG-related stuff. I finished up my long-delayed Vale of Flowers article for Tradetalk and I've now moved on to some articles for Signs & Portents.
Writing for Signs & Portents is nice because it uses the RuneQuest system, which I prefer. So, I'm quite happy to be doing it again.
This time my inspiration came from Stephen Martin, who had nice little Monsters & Treasures sections at the ends of his Books of Drastic Resolution. They were great crunchy bits that also had good background and were very usable in games. So, I've proposed a Elf Plunder article and an Elf Monsters article for S&P and the editor has expressed interest.
I hope they'll end up publishing in January & February, but I don't know what the lead time is exactly, since it's been a year since I wrote over there.
If you missed my previous four S&P elf articles, they're all listed here and freely downloadable from Mongoose Publishing.
* Technically it's not, as I've still got 6 or 7 chapters that I need to OK with the copy editors, 12 or 13 chapters that I need to do a final read on and OK with the proof readers, and 16 chapters that I need to OK with the layout artists. However, I've now finished the original writing, and that frees up the creative part of my brain.
