Hi all,
I've just posted some preview art for our upcoming adventure, Curse of the Emperor's Stone. Take a look at this great finished illustration from 14-year comic industry veteran James Sinclair here. I've also included a sketch from another piece in the works from James.
I've been a little slow about getting playtest notes up on the development blog but they're coming soon. We're going to be concluding the playtest this afternoon...though we'll be going back to play through a couple of changed encounters next week to see if they were tuned up properly.
Looking forward to getting this put to bed in January or February (highly dependent upon when I get all of the finished artwork) so I can get into the Haibianr city setting book and the next adventure: The Tomb of Le Wushi!

[edit]Oh, just wanted to mention that I've been "leaking" artwork and other previews to Aaron over at Roleplayers Chronicle prior to posting it on my own site. He's putting together a nice news site for gamers and I'd like to support it...and hopefully other 3PPs will do so as well.
Wow. C'mon. This is the Internet. Surely some one has strong feelings about this one way or the other. :) Love it? Hate it? Meh?
Here are a couple more from this adventure (link)
I should have some more portraits (and maybe more bestiary illos) in hand soon but the next scene from James is taking a little longer than expected because of other obligations.
M
Heh. Thanks for the response! Strong feelings are tough to muster...especially with my meds. I'm sad to hear you're not into this genre, however: I had planned to send you a copy to review when it's done, as I know you do reviews now and again.
M
Ah. Well, I really hope this won't be done badly! If you're interested in reviewing it shoot me an e-mail michael at acaciagames dot com. I'll put you on the list to receive a copy when it's ready...some time in January, I hope.
M
Well, this is all new to me. Thanks for posting this, Mearrin69: I'll be poking around.
Heya, Mairkurion. Please do...and let me know what you think. I'll have some more art previews soon, hopefully!

Hi all,
Here are a couple more pieces for Curse of the Emperor's Stone (link). There's a new portrait from Owen Hunter and the pencil stage of Enter the Lushou by James Sinclair. A few more pieces are underway and I'll post them when I get them.
As usual, I gave these to Roleplayers Chronicle a bit ago to preview. Stop by Aaron's site if you have a chance...it's shaping up nicely.
