I thought I'd post a progress update of where I am with some projects...

I'm working on two Fantasy RPGs at the moment...

Cantare, a game that grew out of running Cold City, actually, but has lots of little mechanical complexities in it. It tries to do LOTR style of epic adventure, centred on character motivations, ties to other PCs and NPCs. Anyway, that is on the back burner but I'm mulling it over in my mind.

So, the first review rolled into RPGnet today and I'm superpleased that it's a 4/4. The text of the review is also overwhelmingly positive. It's a well-written review, others should take note (stares at the usual suspects LOL).

Simon Rogers also posted a nice mini review-let comment on IPR too.

Hey, some guy has put a piece of fan art based on the art in the books.

It has this cool thing where you can watch the image being assembled. I've seen Jon Hodgson do those animations before and I think they're very cool.

Someone has made packages available for Map Tools so that you can use it to run 3:16 games online:

Personally I think that's really, really cool. Now to round up some troopers;)

Following up from my initial sales thread...

OneBookShelf had a problem with their database in August and so they've lost track of the pre-GenCon sales. They've written to customers and publishers about this, but it does mean that I'm waiting to find out how many PDFs they are going to pay me for during August. I'm certain I had 20+ sales by the 11th of August, when I last checked before heading to GenCon. We'll see what the numbers come out at. Since the system was reset it's been doing well on OBS, though.

GenCon was 114 sold and 18 comps handed out (mainly to the Ennies and so on).

I would like to invite anyone who would like to share and develop ideas for playing 3:16 to join a yahoo group I created. I have posted some tokens, and a 'space hulk' sheet for creating ship encounters for a more claustrophobic feel.
