View From the Bushes

Well, with any luck, Wil Upchurch's latest DireKobold adventure will be out later today for you full subscribers out there. All of his adventures have been wicked, but this one is downright diabolical (I keep telling him to use his powers for good rather than evil, but he claims to have tried that and the chicks didn't dig it as much). When I say "with any luck," what I mean is if I didn't waste too much time waiting in line to get a good seat for the Matrix. But if I'm a day or two late with this adventure because of it, you guys would understand, right?

I went with an artist I hadn't used before, Chad Sergesketter, on this adventure. Greg Newbold, the guy who had been doing the illustrations for Wil's Adventure Path series is a professional book jacket illustrator (check out his website) who was trading me art for help with his website. I must say, I like what Chad has done; the picture of the Aquarrans makes me want to play one in the next campaign I'm in. That or make myself a snake tail and a cardboard five-forked trident to wear at the next convention I go to, I can't decide which.

For all you Demo subscribers, I'm thinking of starting to release the snippets on the same day as the adventure. Mostly the reason I did it the way I am now is that I had hoped to break up the workload, so we'll have to see. In any event, I've suddenly run out of things to say, so I'll just toss in a quote:

That so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time.
