I came up with a list, but it was basically everything. With decent reasons for them all as well.

Here's a short list in no particular order (you've seen it before):

• Haalkitaine 2nd Edition
• Emer I 2nd Edition
• Emer II 2nd Edition
• Emer IV (NEW)
• Edit submitted Lethys
• Edit submitted Agyra Book
• Artifacts (may only edit this)

I'm also toying with the idea of writing a 'small' adventure book centered around one shop (or maybe a cluster of shops) in Sel-kai, going into incredible detail about the layout of the place, with wares, secret cubbies, etc., and the profiles of the resident-owners. I think it would be fun.

Is your work with Jaiman making it easier to work with Haalkitaine and Lethys?
I do ofcourse want you to finish that one I wrote some 20 years ago ;)

Actually I was working on the Haalkitaine revision and felt compelled to re-do Jaiman. It all gets tangled in my brain sometimes. You're the author of the Lethys module? Or are you talking about something else?

There's the new Jaiman area sourcebook as well.

My reasons would be:

Haalkitaine, Emer I and Emer II need doing because they aren't available and new users could do with them. Similarly for Artefacts & Lost Tech. Eidolon is also plonked in Emer II so could do with the surrounding area being available.

Emer IV and new Jaiman module need doing because they are new and flesh out both continents more. With the revisions and Jaiman, much of Emer and Jaiman will be done.

Lethys and Agyra because they are new; in the former case for more detail on Jaiman, in the latter for a brand new area.

The idea of adventures in Sel-kai sounds good as well.

I wrote Lethys, yes. I tried to get everything as canon as I could when I wrote it, but there was not too much info about Lethys in those books.

Its not sold anywhere, the basic work has been out here since 15 years atleast, rewritten a couple of years ago for Terry to edit before publication.

So it is not available right now, but should be soon?

Right - thanks for clarifying.  I thought perhaps there was something bigger afoot...

As a little side project while I wait on Jaiman and before I jump back into Emer IV and Haalkitaine, I decided to work up a little pamphlet with the backgrounds and stats of the four travellers who have been appearing in recent SW book illustrations. As I'm picking their spells, I feel a yearning to play Rolemaster again. I never did play a pure Mage. But as T'revor I did get to shoot a lot of Firebolts. :-)

Still working out the logistics with Nicholas about how to release it (will be PDF only of course).

Merry Christmakwanzukka!! And here's to more SW, I really want to run a game in that world again, I got this whole "magical school" campaign set in Gryhpon College banging around in my head. (Of course, I would love to play a game set in SW, but I would have to get someone who is willing to GM Rolemaster... not easy here in Knoxville.  :'( )


PS: If Terry would be willing to run something on-line, say Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights I would learn how to skype, roll-20, or whatever!! Just saying. ;D

Couldn't sleep so reformatting Haalkitaine. What a mess, importing ancient Pagemaker files into InDesign, and old EPS graphics!

Working on the Haalkitaine revision and Emer IV timelines (sometimes they confuse even me!), and having fun. The 1st edition of Haalkitaine seems so... quaint... now.

Frankly, I am dreading Emer I because the old ugly maps have to go, and I am not looking forward to re-doing all those map labels again...

I am really hoping we get out no less than 3 SW books this year! Jaiman revision for sure, then Haalkitaine 2nd Edition full of new material, catacombs and sewers (I am having so much fun updating the timeline... Haalkitaine is becoming very dangerous), and maybe even Emer IV. Emer I and Emer II revisions soon to follow, completing the Great Continent. Then NE Jaiman with lots of lost technology. I'm excited. I may even make it to GenCon, but that is up to talks between me and the various powers that be...
