I hesitated to give updates up until this one, because things were so very chaotic.
But the pallet of books has finally arrived at the fulfillment center. My contractor-partner there confirms that the pallet and boxes look to be un-spoiled (you have to say that like Saruman, you see) and that the books have been unloaded and brought into the warehouse.

Certainly it’s a good starting point to see what you can see. But what constitutes a basic roll? A Vision+10 roll for Joe Average will spot something man-sized…
As part of the run-up to Dragon Heresy, I quickly realized that the book was going to be very large. My initial estimates of a single 250-300 page volume were crushed under the heels of 90,000 words of just monsters. And that’s after culling things down and eliminating many that are thematically inappropriate. There are ways…
