Next Generation Sourcebook Update

Hey, all, remember me? :)

It has been a long and strange road since I first announced I was working on the TNG netbook. And, unfortunately, multiple changes in the life of Uncle Mac have waylaid progress on the project to near-standstill levels.

As you all know, in addition to the RPG-writing thing, I also draw comic books and am commissioned by Silent Devil productions into illustrating a miniseries for them. That's taken much of my time in the past several weeks, so work on the TNG book's ground to a halt in the interim.

In any case, I'm announcing that I'm once again back on track with the book, and have developed a few timesavers to get certain portions of the book done on a much faster time scale. At present, I'm midway through Season 2 as far as mining the episodes for info. And a little technique I thought up (thank the Maker for Excel) will mean I'll be getting ALL the characters statted up very shortly.

Thanks for your patience, guys. :)

Since there have been over 40 views and no reply I though that someone should say something:

Keep going, I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Maybe you could post a text-only preview, so that we could take a look and give you some feedback, if neccessary.

What? You let your REAL LIFE interfere with gaming?! Clap 'im in irons boys! :rolleyes:

It's a thankless task, but it's good your doing it. Keep up the good work! :D

Well, crap.

Just buzzed past a thread on the Decipher boards where they've announced, among other releases, that the TNG sourcebook's one chapter from done and will be released in eBook format in '06.

:(

EDIT: Okay, since this project's probably going into the null and void category, and since you guys all asked nice, I'm posting a couple excerpts from the book here. First up, supporting characters. :)

Don't believe them! Don't trust them! Let them die!

I think it's still worth working on, Chris. I have a feeling you'll be putting in a lot more crunch per episode, whereas Decipher will have more fluff. They tend toward a lot of discussion of theme and style.

I'm with Mazza and Sho-sa on this one, Mac. Keep on givin' 'er.

Appreciating the support, guys. Dont know if anyone caught it, but I edited my previous post with I have done of the Supporting Cast chapter. Lemme know whatcha think. Note that this is before fact-checking and proofreading. :)
