Welcome
 
To the sixty-fifth Briefing and the tenth scheduled Briefing of 2016. Colin has waxed lyrical on the benign nature of September. Academic September is less benign – it’s been the treadmill of preparing the final new module (still ongoing), straggler students needing placing on courses, induction, admin requests and a couple of consultancy bids with deadlines at horrid points in the semester. Relentless and inimical to getting progress on projects where I had planned to be. This will be a short Briefing.
 
RMU
 
Graham has circulated a complete draft of Treasure Law to the team. Jonathan and Joeri are still inside the belly of the beast of Creature Law.
 
Max has been making extremely good progress in transforming Arms & Character Law into the ERA format, and believes that he is now completed the character creation and development part, with adventuring components still to be done.
 
Software
 
The next likely book to receive the ERA conversion treatment will be Rolemaster Companion I.
 
Shadow World
 
Terry is busy writing multiple Shadow World manuscripts, editing another and doing layout for me.
 
HARP
 
HARP Loot is still with Terry in layout. Tables are always slow going.
 
All of the art for HARP Folkways is in; it is all fabulous. The moment Terry completes Loot, Folkways is heading his way.
 
Awaiting signed contract from the writer for HARP Strongholds. First draft is contracted for deep in 2017, so HARP Strongholds will be a 2018 release.
 
Joel Lovell is continuing to progress the Poseidon Gambit for HARP SF and has also been sharing some more of his artwork for that module.
 
Conventions
 
A reminder that Peter Sotos’ online Rolemaster game at BrigadeCon will be broadcast on YouTube as a LiveEvent on 29th October.
 
Also anyone interested in running a Rolemaster, HARP/HARP SF, or Spacemaster game at Dragonmeet (London, 3rd December), do please get in touch.
 
Until next time
 
Back to running very hard on this treadmill. The next scheduled Briefing will be in November.
 
Best wishes,
Nicholas
 
Director, Guild Companion Publications Ltd.
