Operation Rogue Lion coming very soon!

Just put the bookmarks on the PDF version of Operation Rogue Lion. It'll be coming out soon in PDF and I'll get the Lulu print version ready as well. Glad to have both of these done and finally able to get out and onto tables.

Operation Rogue Lion is Done!

Finally! Just wrote the last paragraph and keyed the last map. Now I let is sit for a week and revisit it for the first round of editing. It's turned out to be 64 pages, so I've created about 190 pages (in total) for Classified. It (and the core rules) will be out in May. Only thing left to do is write the marketing blurb on the back cover.... :-)

Life gets in the way...

I've been absent for a while because life's gotten in the way of business. Suzi's almost done with her schooling (getting her Masters in Nursing) and is just about a Nurse Practitioner now. She's snagged a job offer and just signed a contract, so she got a job lined up. We've been house hunting and finally found one, put an offer down, had it accepted, and are now in the oh-so-fun loan process (which is being annoying since our income's taken a hit with her being in school full time and without us able to count her job-contracted salary as income).

So I've not been as productive as I should have been recently and it's not going to change for at least a week, as next week's Gary Con. To which I'm going only as a fan and leaving my publisher hat at home. This Con is going to just be about having fun and gaming.

Two New Print Adventures for Sale!

We've just got our copies of Advanced Adventures #31: The Lost Lair of Drecallis and 1 on 1 Adventures #16: The Lost City of Bransik up for sale at the XRP website. It's been a while since we've put out an old-school mod ('bout 6 months or so) and even longer for a Pathfinder mod ('bout two years, sheesh!) and we're glad to have new stuff up.

Here's the blurbs....

Advanced Adventures #31: The Lost Lair of Drecallis is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 4-8 adventurers of levels 4-7. For a second year in a row, Drecallis has not appeared on the appointed day to collect her tribute from the people of Longridge. Is the terrible beast dead? Or has the great reptile departed for greener pastures? The elders are desperate to discover the truth, and if the dragon is indeed dead, a priceless hoard may be sitting in the dragon's lair, unguarded. A call has been put out for brave souls willing to seek out the remote lair of Drecallis and investigate!

1 on 1 Adventures #16: The Lost City of Bransik is designed for a Rogue, level 6-8, powered by Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. A reclusive mage desires to recover the spellbook of the powerful wizard, Herinack Dersuni. The mage’s library/workshop was in the Lost City of Bransik which was swallowed up in an earthquake centuries ago. Offering a handsome reward, plus spoils from the recovery operation, you must find this lost city, descend into its ruins and find the library and its precious spellbook. Do you have the skills to survive in a dead and deserted city?

Operation Rogue Lion Update

Done with 90% of the layout of Operation Rogue Lion and commissioned the majority of the art. Looks like it's coming in at around 60 pages. Bigger than I expected. Now I can sit on it for a while and wait for the art to come in and then finish the layout and that'll be all for the first Classified mission.

I'm Fearless And So Can You

I'm a creative.

I don't have fears about being good at being creative.
I'm don't feel like I'm an imposter at being creative.
I don't worry about my creative abilities.
People either like, don't like, or are indifferent to what I do creatively.
I don't engage emotionally with others' opinions of my creative work.

The Magic Hoard - Undead Chicken

Undead Chicken: This skeletal chicken behaves like a living chicken. Once per week it lays an egg. Inside the egg is a tiny undead creature that expands to normal size and completely obeys whoever frees it from its miniaturized captivity. The contents of each egg are randomly determined on the below chart. 10% of undead chickens have no limit on the number of “progeny” it can produce: all others can only have 1d4 progeny active at any one time. When the limit is exceeded, the oldest undead turns to dust.

1. Skeleton

2. Zombie
3. Ghoul

4. Ghast

5. Wight

6. Mummy

The undead chicken has AC 4, HP 10, and regenerates 1 HP per round. Experience Point Value: 2,000 (10,000 unlimited) G. P. Value: 15,000 (40,000 unlimited).

Operation Rogue Lion - Update

Just hit page 38 in the layout for Operation Rogue Lion. This puppy's going to be longer than I expected. I'm thinking 50+ pages now.
