Hi everyone, just popping in for an update.
I'm expecting to see the finished character classes for this book along with some new demons and mythos creatures. Once I get those edited and laid out, I'll be posting a sample, so you can get an idea of what the finished book will look like.
Thanks again for all of your patience. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry for the wait between updates. I've just been trying to keep my head down and get as much work done as I can. I didn't mean to neglect everyone, I just don't want to continue to post "Nothing new here" updates.
Progress
Things are starting to come along nicely. I'm waiting on a few star systems to come in, and have started preliminary graphic design work. I hope to share a sample layout with you in a week or so.
We have two character classes for the book, tentatively called a Hellcaster, and Doomspeaker. These classes deal with some of the cults and factions found in the Widow's Tear nebula.
Both will be "summoner" types of classes, each focusing on their particular area of expertise; the Hellcaster dealing with demons, and the Doomspeaker focusing on summoning mythos-related beings.
There obviously will be new spells, creatures, feats and other goodies related to these concepts, so that should be a ton of fun!
I'm hoping to have everything ready for printing by the middle of january. We're getting into the holiday season, so while my writers are busy working on things, I expect a bit of a slow-down.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. We're working very hard on this stuff, and I know it's been stressful for you. I do apologize.

Hi everyone, I'm happy to share the cover for the first adventure: To Save a Planet!
This was done by Anthony Cournoyer, someone I've worked with for a number of years now. Writing for the main book is still ongoing, but I hope to share more manuscripts with you when they come in!
08/23/2018: Status update and Urus System Preview

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to say I'm back to work and have been busy making sure everything is backed up to multiple spots. I have an external SSD, and have both Dropbox and MS One drive, so I shouldn't lose any data from here on out.
We're working on everything, but time has gotten away from me these past couple of months. I should have all of the systems completed by the end of September (fingers crossed). That said, I don't want to give more deadlines, because so much can happen between now and then, and I don't want to get anyone's expectations up.
I do want to give ya'll something to chew on, and you can click the link below to grab the manuscript of the URUS system, written by Hal Maclean. It's a great read! New races, diseases and creatures are contained within, so please check it out!

08/06/218 update: Massive computer problems

I'm popping in really fast for an update because I don't know how long my system will remain stable.
I've been having massive system failures over the past week or so. I j8ust want to let you know we have people working on documents, but I've lost a ton of data. I had to get a new drive and operating system on saturday. I had backed up material to an external HDD, but it looks like two thirds of that material (about 660 gigs) has been corrupted.
At this point, I have to get an entirely new system (minus the Solid State Drive and OS), because everything is fubar right now. My comp just shuts down for no apparent reason, and tries to restart. Sometimes (like now) it will remain stable for up to 20 minutes, and other times it just restarts with now warning.
It's a real pain in the rear, and that's putting it mildly. More updates to come.
