I'll let you know when I get further along in the writing.

It really depends on how much opera you're allowing in your space opera.

I saw the Paizo ad this morning too and thought of Interplanetary - there look to be some cracking stories there, and quite a few I'd never heard of. I didn't know anything about Moorcock's Mars stuff, for example, nor had I heard of Northwest of Earth - two omissions I'll be remedying shortly!

Looks interesting... I wonder if they'll be available at a LFGS...

Amazon has them available.

Yup, I just told my FLGS to order them all as they come out for me. He'd getting them through Alliance Games Distribution.

Hi Jason, how is the project going? Do you still expect to be finished in late April? Have playtesting started up?

SGL.

Still writing content.

Maybe May is more reasonable to expect, but that'll mostly be due to the time playtesting scenarios.

Not yet.

Hi Jason,

Glad to hear Interplanetary is proceeding. Did you ever come across Leigh Brackett's work before? I'd never heard of her, and just got hold of a copy of her "Seas of Mars" in the Fantasy Masterworks series. Haven't read it yet, but it looks like classic pulp-era Sword & Planet stuff.

Just thought I'd mention it just in case - I've also just "discovered" Clark Ashton Smith at my wizened age, believe it or not, and am having a ball (not that's he's Sword & Planet, mind ;-)). It's funny - I guess through him being fairly out of print for so long I'd just never come across him before. Same with Leigh Brackett - thanks be for series like Fantasy Masterworks!

Cheers,

Sarah

I'm somewhat familiar with Brackett's work, but don't currently have copies (and alas, the Fantasy Masterworks line isn't easily available in the States).

I believe I've seen her works are online somewhere like Project Gutenberg, but can't remember where exactly.

I am more familiar with CAS, though I agree he's not exactly applicable.
