So. I've been incommunicato for a couple of weeks. Not the intention, but life has been just a little busy lately <0>.

I'm going to have a new revision of the doc up on Athas.org soon. End of the weekend, if all goes right.

Barring something major, this will textually be the final version of DS 3.5. I havn't seen any major feedback on the document in a month's time, most of our internal discussions have been resolved, and so we should be good to go.

After that, I'm going to spend time working on the "presentable" version of the document -- that is, getting all the pretty pictures into it. To do that though, I want to clean up the images I've got, work with file sizes and general layout.

This also means that, if you're an artist and have some things you'd like to see go into the Dark Sun core document, now's your shot. Send what images you've got to:
[email]flip@athas.org[/email] AND [email]neeva@athas.org[/email]
(neeva is our art director, I'm the guy who's going to actually be doing the layout) and they'll be considered for inculsion. And, don't worry, if they don't get into the core document ... we've got lots of other projects that are forthcoming ...

<0> If you're really curious, in the last two months, I've bought a house, moved into said house, been working in overdrive on two projects at work, and dropped my car into a ditch. I've had so many things that require my attention lately that I find myself begging for schism to actually exist...

And, for teasers, the things I'm planning on working with once the final (text) of DS 3.5 is out the door:

  • DS 3.5 document formatting and images
  • Review, formatting and writing for a first PrC document. (This is closer than you might think)
  • Layout review of the DSMM.
  • Techical work on Athas.org. Possible restructuring to include more prominant community submissions, and getting a proper FAQ back in place
  • Review and development of Secret of the Dead Lands
  • Beginning work on Faces of Athas (Expect to hear more from me on this one later)

Thanks, these informations are much welcome and in fact, really enjoying!

With the core rules done, the start for "fluff" projects will go on ! GO MACH GO !

Btw, where is this Mach?

If you need any special images, just write it there, I'm going to see if some of these can be done.

Have you ever had green fire spurt out your ears?

You really want that green fire coming out your ears, don't you?

Need to get some things back for the spell lists.

That green fire trick sounds cool. Maybe we can tag team with my blue-green lightning bolts?
