Reviews, More Playtesting
So, sent off the first review copy of Kingdom of Ashes. The fellow doing the review will hopefully have it done in a month or so. I'm a little apprehensive, truth-be-told... which has everything to do with my own prejudices toward overtly religious folks, and nothing to do with the reviewer's professionalism or helpfulness. The fellow himself seems quite capable, and I'm pretty sure the book's content won't bother him as much as I'm worried it might. Anyway, enough whining out of me.
If anyone out there is part of any literary circles, 'zines, book blogs, or the like... want a book to chew on? You give me a couple of hundred words, post it, and agree to let me use the review on my website, and I give you a book.
I still haven't come up with a good design for the hardcover, by the way. I guess I don't know if I want to stick to the same overall design of the paperback, or if I want to do something different.
Haven't sought out one of the literary agencies yet. I've got two sorta staked out, though.
Doing plenty of more work on the new RPG. In writing player handout materials, I'm essentially writing the pre-draft of the next game. It's up to 25 or so pages already, which ain't bad for a PDF without any illustrations. They've finally got their characters mostly squared away, and we have a direction and overarching plotline figured. Actual play, Gods help us, will begin on Tuesday.
Of course, that means I have a lot of research and such to do before then. Next stop: ancient cultures, civilizations, and mythologies of Northern Africa. I love this kind of stuff. Someday, this will be my full time gig. Someday...
