After getting a couple wins under my belt, I apparently felt like it was ok to vanish for several weeks.

Ok, so that’s not entirely true. Things got hectic for a bit there, what with the holidays and all. Plus I’ve been doing a lot of work on the RPGBN for the past couple weeks. But I still should have found some time to post an update or two.

So, in the interest of getting back into the swing of things, here’s a fresh round of SPUC updates.

On The Table:

1. Shambles – I have been assured, on pain of blood, that I will have a print-suitable version in the next two weeks.
2. Codename: Simulated Jocular Anaconda – It’s not been touched since the last update. I am having existential difficulties with the subject material.
3. Shambles Source Material – Some research, not much else.
4. Codename: Gremlin Persistent Malice – I got another piece of short fiction for this recently.
5. Codename: Pandoran Apothecary Chest – Sat down with some design people yesterday. Expect to have a quote by next week, prototype by Kublacon.
6. Codename: First Rural Delusions – Not getting far. Have a couple things to sort out first.
7. RPBGN – I’ve been working on code enhancements to make the site less resource intensive to manage. This is coming along nicely. In the meanwhile, I’m hammering out a reasonable strategy for “what comes next”.
8. NaNoWriMo – Abandoned. I got to a point that I didn’t like the direction I’d taken the story, there wasn’t time to backtrack, and I wasn’t going to finish it just to finish it. Going into the closet for next year.
9. Codename: Insignificant Diversionary Anaconda – Removed from the Closet 1/28/10 – Was asked to do some additional work on this. 41% complete.

In The Closet

1. Codename: Cackle Smash Soup – Mothballed 10/28/09
2. Codename: Tactical Plastic Laser – Mothballed 10/28/09

5. Codename: Unwashed Repeat Pedestrian – Mothballed – 11/04/09

In The Trophy Case

1. The Grognards Of Gygax – My entry into the “Best Quest” contest for Legends of Zork. It won Second Place – WOOT!
2. Obnoxious Howler Monkey – I completed the first version

Excuse Of The Week Month: It’s been a busy busy time.
