On another note, how does one get involved with this sort of stuff?My first paying gig. :)
I was a patron on another project (Coliseum Morpheum) and Steve put out a call for submissions. I pitched mine, he liked it, and that was that.
See, that time, my timing wasn't so disastrous. :)
I think it's a matter of having only so much freelancer space available, he gives first preference to patrons. I suspect if he didn't get a response from patrons, it would go out as a general open call. This is all pure speculation on my part. of course.
So, were you looking to do writing or illustration?
The Questhaven patronage is opening up now. It doesn't seem too expensive to join as a bronze-level patron, which still lets you share your ideas with the other patrons. I dunno.

Steamed is something they both have in common.

Wait, he just said a couple days ago it would be sometime in September and it's a couple hours away from the end of August. Where did this pop up?

Hey, Taig, are either of those previews from you?
No. One is Steve's (which I reviewed--and put in a caveat about my involvement). I don't know who the other's is.
Speaking of all that, and you bringing up Tarren Dei, you know he's working on the Evocative Sites (and he did a gargoyle book) for Rite Publishing, and he's got a monster in KoTM2, right?

Maybe he only sent the e-mail to existing patrons? We got a discount. :)

How does one become a patron?

It looks like it's public.
Say, it is September in Prague.

We'll never see those works! Tarren Dei stood me up in Montreal! He'll never work in this industry again! Oh, wait...wrong thread, wrong avatar. Sorry 'bout that.
Yeah, I'm curious about the Gargoyle Book. And some say I'm the reviewer extrordinaire of the most evocative evocative site book of all time, which he did with Wicht.

Damn, the JJ thread may just be my most successful thread of all time.It started moving too fast. With less time, I can't handle too many supergrowth threads. I'll try and pitch back in from time-to-time. Feel free to link any that you especially want me to riff off of, take on, note, or whatever.
Sharoth: better yet, move to DFW and sign up for one of my classes. :3
Where do you teach Prof?

Nope I have already done so in a very strange Amber game. I mean who hasn't right?

Depends on the dragon and the bazooka and the realm you are in. Worked ok for me, but afterwards I ran like a little b*!#!.

This feels weird to say, but sometimes I miss talking to clients on the phone regularly. I just spent an hour explaining things to a client, and it wasn't half bad. But, I can remember how quickly that got old...
I will trade you. My job rocks that is if it wasn't for the customers.

New American, is my suggestion and I would most heartily agree with Urizen on this one.

In Amber, can't you basically create worlds and wield phenomenal cosmic power, or at least run away really well? Yeah, that might have something to do with your guy surviving.
(Oh, and ignoring the fact that missile launchers in the current edition of Shadowrun suck, anything that doesn't get at least 8 successes on the damage roll just bounces off, and the dragon still gets to roll for damage resistance if it manages to actually hit.)

I'll swing by the store tomorrow to get a bubble wrap envelope. I'll swing by the post office to see what the cost is for shipping it to Savannah and let you know. You could send a check or I'll gladly take Paizo credit.
Like the others back in May, it's in good condition (I make it a point to not purchase a book with considerable wear & tear or writing with few exceptions).

Paizo store credit? Sounds good. I get paid this Friday, so count on getting the credit by then.
