    How is everything on your end

    Fairly okay. I've unfortunately been a combination of busy, lazy, and demotivated with regard to actually writing things, but I can feel the ennui building up in me. I'll hopefully be able to get to actually putting words down again soon.

    If it weren't for TWWH2, I wouldn't be inspired to reignite my interest in the Tomb Kings. And if not for the great work and wisdom of Ganonso, I wouldn't have something to turn my interests towards.

    I can see why you turned to him for advice in your own quest.

    The guy in your avatar... Is he the same one who plays Meyhem in the Progressive commercials?

    I have no idea truthfully, I only know him from the History Channel.

    Quests and stories like yours help to reignite my WHF interest.

    Glad to hear it! Keeping the flame of stories alive in the hearts of others is half of what I write for in the first place.

    Are you focussing on Lizards right now or is that problematic chapter with Rat vs. Dead still under work?
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Kinda both - right now I'm aiming to actually complete the mechanics for lizards so I can actually write turns for it, but I'm still looking at Rat v Dead now and then also. But yeah, once I get the lizard ball rolling I'll devote my efforts to finally completing turn 2 of FADW - I just can't focus on both right now since there are a surprising number of RL things popping up for me right now.

    Regardless, thanks for asking!

    I await the Ribbits gleefully. I am imagine scenes of wondrous lizardmen perpetrated carnage.

    Haven't made any progress in the last week due to sickness and various other things, but my creative batteries have recharged now! Onward!

    And somewhat appropriately, the update's wordcount just doubled.

    I caught a seasonal illness, that's all - I'm recovered by now.

    Hey, is there any chance you could restart the lizardman quest? I really loved the lush descriptions of sunlight et al.

    It's not his quest. He's/was just doing the heavy lifting.

    Regardless, I have been considering how I'd run a version of it on my own. At the moment I want to focus on From A Dead World so I can finish the turn which hath been coming for a long time, but afterwards, mayhaps? I definitely do want to revisit it, that's for sure.

    After some thought, I probably won't be running a WHFB Lizardmen quest in the future.


    It'll be in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

    I gotta plan it out somewhat first before I'll decide to start it up though, I only have the bones of an idea right now.
    Xantalos
    Dammit me stop developing the characters of the antagonists more than you do the protagonists

    With luck you'll get to see the fruits of that soon! Nearly done, one scene left that I've had visualized for quite a while.

    Um...which one are we? Pro or Ant?

    Protagonists, in that you're the ones the work is centered around, even though you're most certainly not the good guys.
    Xantalos
    Done! GET FUCKED WORDS, I AM YOUR MASTER
    Xantalos

    *words suddenly go someplace I wasn't expecting at all* ...well then. Perhaps it's more of a reciprocal relationship.

    How far along on the update are you on?
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Few thousand words in or so, but once I finish the battle scene I'm on right now I'll be able to finish the rest easily.

    Update? Sorry if I'm being annoying.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    No worries, it's encouraging knowing that people are excited about it. I'm making good progress, though I can't say exactly when I'll have it done. Soon, though.
    Xantalos
    This battle scene's fighting me quite tenaciously, but I think I have an angle to work with. After it's done, the rest is a piece of cake.

    what hapened to the lizardman quest? lack of input? I did not say much as I was waiting for the next part.
    Xantalos
    A spare, albeit shitty laptop has been found while my computer's getting worked on. The update can resume! ...two sentences in so far.
    Xantalos
    *accidentally borks computer so it blackscreens whenever it starts* oh gods I did that again too

    Does the Dell boot thing, then goes to a black screen with an abnormally squat cursor. I'm gonna take it to a friend tomorrow, see what he thinks of it.

    Best of luck!

    The only advice I have, if you haven't tried it already, is if your computer is running Windows see if holding F8 from right after powering it up will let you get to the Advanced Boot Options menu,you might be able to transfer files to an external/other computer in case you are forced to reformat.

    My thanks! I have, but apparently I have a password on my user account that I never use and don't remember so I can't just reset it. Might have to factory reset it or somesuch, but I'd only lose internet bookmarks and downloaded games, all of which I have on Steam or Origin anyhow. Everything relevant to my writing I keep on a USB ever since the time I lost an entire update.

    I must say that From a Dead World is one of the best quests I've ever seen. I eaggerly anticipate each update, whether it was the old system or the new one. Even inspired me to think out my OC DONUT STEEL as being more than actual pokemon BUT CIVILIZED. Keep being awesome!
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Huh, my thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to crank the next one out soonish, eh?
