    Ou est Don!

    I've noticed our noble leader Mr Mappin hasn't posted since May. Anyone heard from him of late or is he just keeping a low profile because of the IRS/Inland Revenue or something?

    Sorry - didn't mean to scare any of your business types by mentioning the IRS btw!

    Hehehehehe.

    We have all your working biros and we're not afraid to use them.

    Leave a box of used postit notes and a box of paperclips inside the filling cabinet and things won't get nasty.

    Yours,

    I was wondering the same thing. Maybe this has to do with the upcoming release of the SG 1 RPG (IIRC, he worked on it).

    I just talked to Don the other day. He is alive and well, just very, very busy.

    Good to hear. Busy is Good (Especialy if it's working on Star Trek )

    Thumbs up

    Nah, I'm guessing his family life, followed by AEG's Stargate SG-1 RPG (due out yesterday), and other writing projects for other game companies (including Decipher).

    But I think that since he is the foremost informational expert on Stargate, AEG will rely on him for future products.

    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    In the words of Sinistar..."I live!" (Or, "I hunger!")

    I'm still alive. As Doug said, quite busy. Fortunately, the site has been running just fine without my intervention, allowing me to concentrate on other things that life throws my way.

    I'm in the process of wrapping up two AEG/Stargate projects and then will probably be taking some time off. I have not been asked by Decipher to work on Star Trek beyond some convention assistance.

    In hindsight, that's a pretty sad summary for 4 months worth.

    Says you. I bet there are tons of folks who'd be thrilled to death to work on even one project, let alone two.
