    Back here at the office, the pages of my notes will flatten in humid placidity while mushrooms bloom untended in the dampness of my bathroom.

    Nevertheless, things will be going on. Indie Press Revolution may (or may not) be selling Hell for Leather at GenCon this year. It all depends on whether or not they received the delivery of books from the US printers. If they do, some folks might buy it, some of those folks might talk about it, and so on.

    So, keep your eyes peeled and, if someone says something about Hell for Leather (on a forum or website) that you agree with, why not nod along and post about it? Or, if someone posts some rubbish, why not go in there and correct them?

    Until the 7th of August, have fun!

    Sebastian.

  • On my way to Limerick for a wedding. Going to be among gamers but not able to game.
