I had been thinking for a decade about skipping forward in time to deal with the Greyhawk Wars, and I finally did it!

All sabbaticals are good. Of course, a true one would have me away from my actual job as well...

I sure did, myself.

Glad you're enjoying them as a family. I sometimes wonder if I should have toned town the violence and profanity, but it's too late now.

He probably did. I do sometimes miss things...it's a lot of background material, and when I take writing breaks, I forget a lot.

See last comment to the previous fan mail...the long break between 1100 and 1101 resulted in my forgetting. I likely had thought I hadn't dealt with the droplets, and so I stashed that verbage in a file for later use. For every nine I catch, one gets through.

I felt it was important to check in on all of the others, one (or two, in some cases) at a time.

Sometimes there are similarities.
