shannon_aSo this last week I finished up articles on Avalon Hill and SPI, as planned.
I also outlined a new, final section for the book, on post-d20 companies. Right now my list includes Catalyst, Cubicle 7, and Evil Hat.
This next week I'm going to go ahead and take a stab at the Wizards of the Coast piece. I've been delaying because it was the first article I released, back when I was writing this book as articles for RPGnet. I didn't develop the full style for the book until afterward and as a result that first piece runs a bit short.
So, not only do I have to update the book to the current day (and a lot has gone on with Wizards of the Coast since 2007), but I also have to figure out how to expand it, but I have two broad ideas how to do so: more focus on the last AD&D books that Wizards published and more focus on what the d20 license meant for the rest of the industry.
I expect I'm going to be writing about 5000 words, plus editing the 5000 extant, so I've allocated two weeks for it.
