Congratulations Simon! It sounds like a big piece of work. Much success with it.

Thanks Norbert! Yeah it's a lot bigger than I originally intended. I pitched it as a ~9,000 word stand alone scenario. When I submitted the current version of the document for final editing this week it weighed in at 27,834 words.
Congrats on getting this out the door, especially at such a meaty word count. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy next year and I am still pissed I will miss seeing you gleefully kill off characters during your Templecon premiere.
It's okay Kurt. We all know you're just avoiding the Italian guy and his crew as you don't want a FoW rematch. I can pick up a copy. There will be printed copies, right Simon, 'cause I definitely want to get my hands on this one.
Actually this is going to be pay-to-download only and the premiere at Temple Con will likely predate the official release. The document only went in for final editing last week so I expect a few rounds of revisions before it's ready for layout. Robert Tritthardt is producing eight original pieces of artwork for it as well and was only given the official go-ahead a few weeks ago. I expect we'll be publishing this sometime in late February.
Forgive my stupidity, but how do you premiere a pay-to-download at a convention? Will you be set up with a computer and a printer nearby under a big sign? =D
Or will you hire LARPers to be at a booth? And by hire I really mean volunteer. And by volunteer, I really mean unwilling schleps beaten into submission.
Sadly, my genius is not yet so recognized as to provide ready access to a pool of sycophants willing to be brutalized for my amusement. As such, the "premiere" is a fancy way of saying that I'm running an abbreviated version of the campaign for 6 players at the con.
