Welcome
 
To the one hundred-and-fourth Briefing and second Briefing of 2020. I have been buried in the January marking and moderation marathon. More staff has reduced my teaching load during the semester but more students means more marking and moderation for me so the post-semester spike was higher. I am human again.
 
 
Shadow World
 
Terry Amthor has completed his next mini-adventure for Shadow World, entitled Aalk Vaalg : The Citadel of Osaran, as a Zor/Haalkitaine expansion. I have some final checks to make on this before we release as a $2 mini-adventure before the end of the month.
 
Terry is hard at work on the Emer IV sourcebook with occasional sidetreks into potential standalone adventures.
 
I also have a first volunteer to work on the HARP Handbook for Shadow World. If anyone else would like to volunteer to make this a team project, please get in touch.
 
 
HARP
 
HARP Beyond the Veil remains at the top of my queue to complete.
 
The artwork continues to be commissioned and arrive for HARP Subterfuge, HARP Bestiary, and HARP Garden of Rain. The artists are doing brilliant work and Colin is an excellent orchestrator – although I have not yet decrypted the pattern of how he maps artwork commissioned and received into nations. Other than HARP Subterfuge is in the lead, followed by HARP Bestiary.
 
 
RMU
 
Aaron and Jonathan have been doing some double-checking on Base Movement Rates, particularly with reference to movement talents and ensuring that Stride values make sense across the piece.
 
 
ERA for Rolemaster
 
Max has been working on a 64-bit Mac version of ERA for Rolemaster, so expect this to be released very shortly. Max would appreciate any feedback on how well this behaves in the latest incarnation of Mac OS.
 
 
Until next time
 
Back to progress on the very visible Citadel of Osaran and then into the main queue.
 
Best wishes,
Nicholas
 
Director, Iron Crown Enterprises Ltd
