I did some rewriting and mild expansion of the Technology section, and added a few more historical NPCs. Some of them will be recognizable, once the short stories are more readily available. I’m pleased that I’m down below 8,500 words to go: it should hopefully go fairly quickly from here on out. I may have the first draft ready to go fairly soon. Then it’s just revising, running it past some folks in the industry, playtesting, yadda yadda. I need to toss off some emails tonight.
