Hi,

If I can keep up the current rate of progress the game will launch in mid/late October.

Not sure how much time is needed to update the domain descriptions, or how much energy I want to spend on the task, but other projects are moving forward at an OK pace.

If you give me major events since in the last few years, or the general situation of the last few years, then I can update my own Domain Description.

There have been some general updates to the website, but there is still loads to do.

P&H mostly done, but will probably see som turing. Same with the maps. Regent guide finished up through chapter 5, with good progress on 6+7.

Working on various PS now - I'll focusing on updating info on Agendas and assets, since the rest is mostly flavor text.

Work on the very first Status Report has begun.

If we're lucky we're looking at a launch late next week...but that is not definitve yet.

Currently focusing on domain descriptions; I'm aiming at an average of 1 updated domain per day, so you can do the math yourself...
: Re: Projected start date
: DM B October 12, 2008, 03:29:00 PM
Next up are SRT, OIT, Ilien, Medoere and Aerenwe.

Subsequent block to include Diemed, Roesone, Osoerde and MOC.

Plans change...currently working on smaller realms - Bellam, Ilien and Medoere.

As you have probably guessed PS won't be ready for quite a few days yet...a lot of domains still needs updating and realms generally take longer. But I'm getting there.

Medoere might be small, but we're big, where it counts!

Anyways, i don't mind it taking longer. My studies are trying to kill me, anyways.
But, I like what i see so far. And i'm giddy as a hormonfilled 14 y o boy, for the arrival of the PS Medoere :P

...the reason for now new PS uploads is that I've been focusing on getting the P&H finished...and I've been editing realm spells (oh, the boredom!)

Just think - with all this experience, you could get a job with Wizards and edit realm spells EVERY day!  Wouldn't that be fun?

...just have fun at my expense...and you can say goodbye to 40+ GBs of seasonal income...and return to, what was it...4 GBs at the very worst?  8)

Tentative start date:

Sunday 23rd November 2008


This is all contingent on me getting some penicillin and ridding the body of my resident sinus cavity infection....

Awesome! Still here, I just finished a more lengthy post that  i thought was in response to this one, but now I don't see it anywhere.  ???

I assure you, I do know how to use on of these "kom-pyew-turz", present evidence to the contrary...
: Re: Projected start date
: DM B November 20, 2008, 10:10:32 PM
Doing good with the domains right now, but still a few to go. Not sure how many more days they will take me, but realistically not less than a week. Maps done. P&H is done, or at least done enough to start. Some more tweaking for chapter 4 and 5 in the Regent Guide. That leaves only half a day to make the Status Report and after that we can actually start!!!

So, sometime next week then, if we stick with Sundays, then we're looking at the 30th of November...can't guarantee that, but as you can see we are actually pretty close to launch :)

(man has it been a lot of work...)

I'll say!  Completely impressed over here already. :)

Now, please roll well on that d4-1.

 Now now, don't jinx the game. RoE don't use d4's for nuffin'!

d100-1 is my bet.

Like with the first RoE game I'm planning for one chapter of 20 turns. Then we'll evaluate and see if their is reason to continue.

: DM B December 05, 2008, 08:49:22 AM
The start date has been set:

Sunday December 14th.

To dos before launch:

Writeups of Alamie & Turonen
Finish the Status Report (mostly done)
Tweak/errata of P&H

P&H and secrets won't come until tomorrow - baby's been sick this weekend so I haven't gotten a lot done.

Tuornen also not ready quite yet - unfortunately.
