Hey @Ian A. Thomson, when do you think /guess /estimate we'll see the Pavis vol. 2?

I've enjoyed Vol. 1 immensely and am looking forward to more.

Hey Hey. Thanks for the interest

I'm steaming through Vol 02 at the moment, and I would guess January is realistic

(I was about to say December, but experience indicates always later than hoped...

But yeh, I would say Jan is genuinely realistic

Advance Information: Vol. 02 - "Old Pavis: The City That Time Forgot"

Anyone who wants previews can of course feel very free to volunteer for proofing :)

What all does proofing entail? I might have some free time to help.

[Ian A. Thomson]

Basic proofing alone can be very helpful

Just reading a piece to spot any grammar or spelling mistakes or any parts that don't make sense or are repeated or missing information etc. It's a very useful role, and is really just going through the piece as an 'interested reader'. But in this case noting down anything that is a mistake or a 'clunk' in smooth reading

Also noting if anything contradicts your 'common knowledge' of Pavis/Glorantha or if any stats look wrong or insufficient

I noticed you used my Reed Inn (D-16) encounter with Bagzaga Rag from the Pavis Encounters forum, slightly rewritten.

Just checked and you are credited (p159)

Hope that's sufficient

Great idea there!

Please say if its not OK, as it could be replaced

Apologies that I forgot to thank you at the time

So many elements and it just slipped my mind

Can you explain the problem? Ian was asking for ideas he could use in his book, you contributed an idea, and you were credited in the book when he used it. Unless there’s more to the situation than meets the eye, I don’t see what the issue is.

I had no idea Ian was looking for ideas for a work to publish, I thought it was for his personal RQ campaign.  It was a surprise.

[Nick Brooke]

I don’t see how you could have missed what he was asking for.

All good. People are busy and miss stuff. (Well, I do.) Anyway, talking to Darius by personal message now and happy to work it out to his satisfaction

Full thanks to him for the idea, which is great

And yes it is credited (happy to see I remembered to do that)

He seems happy for it to be in, so I think no issues, but as said, will stay in communication to make sure it's all good

As it is his idea at the end of the day

UPDATE: Yup, all sorted with Darius. Just a very simple slight misunderstanding of original intent. He is happy for his great idea to be in the book :)

I have just had a walk-through of the city of New Pavis by Matthew Cole.

 

All I can say is WOW, just WOW!

 

It really captures the look and feel of New Pavis, and allows you to zoom into places on the city.

 

If this was available as an online tool, then I could see it being used by GMs to preview locations in their scenarios, and also to have run throughs of scenarios, with Adventurers moving through the streets.

 

Hopefully Matthew can post some screenshots, as appetisers.

 

@Ian A. Thomson You should try and get a preview from Matthew, as it will really bring Pavis to life for you.
