I have finished the update through the end of the Fourth Circle (the end of the original Inferno), and have started across the Styx towards the Walls of Dis on the Fifth Circle. The text is still in draft form and needs some polishing and editing, but all the major elements are there, and it's better organized than was the original. I'd like to say the update as a whole is better than the original but I may be biased about that. I'm still on schedule to finish the draft of a complete Inferno by early Fall 2005.I could use a small number of reviewers and perhaps playtesters, keeping in mind the text isn't 3E rules yet (that happens later), and that my maps are crude. The area outside the Gates of Hell, the 5 Circles (including the zero'th), and background material (including the grimoire of devils) are each in PDF format; I probably wouldn't supply more than 2 to any one reviewer. I invite anyone interested to contact me, and tell me what part you would like to review.Geoff Dale / PJEDallas TX :twisted:

Geoff Dale wrote:Its a long story about that second JG volume, or maybe more than 1 story...Status: Am very close to finishing the monster and NPC conversions (working on the last couple monsters of Circle 8, with maybe another 10 to 12 to go after that). Soon I'll be looking for a d20 editor or two to look the monsters over. The treasure and magic item conversions go faster than the monsters.On to artwork sometime this Spring maybe? Since I'm not having any luck with the remaining d20 publishers, I'll have to pull something myself together to get Inferno out. Maybe there will be a website up next year to help gauge the interest and print run. Sometime after it comes out in 3E I'd like to do a 1E crosswalk, but probably as a PDF.BTW Killjoy...what'd you think of the sample?Geoff

Geoff Dale wrote:On the publishing front for Inferno: still no publisher, the printer quotes I've gotten are too high, and financing is anything but secure. On the plus side I'm talking to some art students about maps and interior art.Geoff
Geoff Dale wrote:If I really get back to Lindoran (maybe late this year) I'd like to supply a map of what remains of the city after 5 or 6 centuries along with a few more encounter areas. There will also be another way into the Vaults and a new level with maybe 15 to 20 rooms on it. I'm also thinking about a mountain cave with some keys or something useful to the Vaults.Shane: I know that I wrote more about mage sub-classes than the one journal article; maybe that article was in the mass of material that was lost when things closed down? I still use the multiple-mage or mage/priest ritual magic kind of spells in my campaign !!BTW I was once asked about how to pronounce Lindoran: it's "lin-door-ann"Geoff Twisted
