What is the status on the Newbie's Guide to Mystara? Is it nearing completion, at a standstill, or dropped as a project completely?

Just curious,
Roger

Standstill at the moment I'm afraid.

OTOH, what I's there is pretty usable as is.

oh yes definitely useable and I think useful too. I had been considering at various times to release what we had, after compiling it together, though I thought as an output it might appear somewhat meagre in comparison to the time that has elapsed and the quality of other projects out there.

That's possible, but given that it is really a service project, not a replacement for the gazetteers or such, it can serve its purpose.

true enough, I should get off my backside and try and lead this through to at least some sort of completion.

Actually, not much. It's mostly matter of writing some introductory material (such as an overview of the KW).

otherwise yeah some introductory material, and if we want some other additional generic stuff - I had been thinking some broad history stuff, some broad immortal stuff wouldn't be out of context.

lol If you've seen me draw you wouldn't asking that! :P Hopefully someone can though. (If you get desperate enough feel free to use that hand-drawn map of the known world I did some time ago. It was designed for player use anyway.)

I'll see if I'm able to present any kind of intro-type work. Any parameters?

something like that would be ideal I think. Did it extend any further south? It seems like it's finished at an odd place to the south.

I just traced the coast lines and rivers from the expert map (IIRC). Then I just filled in the rest; quick, simple, easy, and didn't require any real talent on my part. :D
