Hello,
nice to see another status update. Thank you!
But what happened to “City State of Balic”? At the last update it was already at 89%. Now it’s at 29%. Was there some hard drive crash? Data lost? ;-)
And for DS3 R7: I know, that it’s done when it’s done. But considering the fact that it is already at 97%: Can you use a crystal ball and give without committment a little hint, when we might have an eye on it?
Thanks a lot! You’re doing great work!

Just wanted to echo REAL’s comment that I think you have done a fantastic job with R7 and I can’t wait to see the other chapters! (especially the class chapter)

Yeah… there’s definitely an echo in here. You guys rock!

Only a few NPCs remaining. Should be ready next week at the most.

So is it fair to assume that that ‘2’ was a typo?

hoooray! hoooray! Next week wil be Christmas! ;-)

Won’t sleep until next week!!!

Just to clairfy. Brun01 is refering to DS3 R7 when he said it should be ready next week.
As for City State of Balic, the earlier percentage completed was misleading. It may have been some confusion as to how completed it was. In the case of CSoB, there was a first draft that was about 89% written, but not a finished product, fully edited, formated, and including full stats for all NPCs.
That being said, in the fall of last year there has been renewed interest in CSoB. Work is being done to expand and complete the project.
Not sure where Brun01 got the 29% from though. I thought it was at least 31% done ;)

cant wait

Band2 is the product lead for City State of Balic, after we decided we wanted to expand on the first draft, which was 89% done at the time. As pointed out in Band2´s post, the new completion status has to do with the renewed ambitions for the project.

Any word on the remainder of DS3 R7 being released? How about just the classes chapter?

Class would be nice, wear a tie on-line… oh you ment the chapter on character classes ;) yes that would be nice too.

Bruno might be jumping a little ahead of himself with the release date, but a release sometime in February is not unrealistic.

Cool! Can’t wait. My running Dark Sun Campaign will switch instantly to the new rules (well, after much houseruling ;-) )

It’s the damn crisis, ruining our deadlines! :p

haha…yes, the crisis is a really nice scapegoat for…well, for everything! ;-)
Nevertheless, I really appreciate all the work you guys put into athas.org. This time I promise that I will give something back in form of vast editorial feedback!

It’s the Black Sand Raiders. They assault our supply caravans.

Hum… No, the black sand raiders were at my inn, the Blowing wind inn. They were all drunk. Find someone else to accuse!

Ok if not them, how about the thing under my bed?

By the way, you should check out athas.org website regularly in the next few days. You didn’t hear it from me.

Ah, the DAY OF LIGHT comes close! Prepare yourself for the conQUEST that leads to the ASCENSION of a new age of rules! ;-)

!!! REDRUM !!!

.*...*...*...*
I strongly suggest that everybody have an eye on the Athas.org site in the next day or two, because I worked VERY hard.

Me too

Hope my submission (or parts thereof) make it to the final cut.

If any help is needed with CSoB, let me know. I would be interested to pitch in, having just re-read almost all my Dark Sun stuff in the last weeks.
