Work is still underway on both the new setting/game/genre spinning out of Berlin '61 (simply called '61) and the long over due Encounters Manual for Berlin '61. The Encounters Manual is weighing in currently at 67 pages and looks to bloat to about 75 pages in all, if I decide to throw the x-mas advenutre into the thing then that will push it up to about 85 pages. It is shaping up pretty nice, even if I say so myself with plenty of interesting locations, some horror, some adventure, stats, NPCs and hints and clues at how the world of '61 will be shaped!

Look for the Encounters Manual to be released as a independent book (PDF) via Lulu (and probably soft cover option as well) in January, or if I am lucky, Dustin will decide to make it a monograph, which of course will delay its release a bit I imagine.

I also plan to try a monthly (or semi monthly) dossier PDF release which will spotlight a new Berlin '61 location, agency, NPC, cult or other factor. The first one of those should be slated for February and while they will be available via lulu as PDF for a small fee, I will provide a free copy of the first three Dossiers to the first 25 people who email me that they are interested in B'61 material (be it for B'61 uses, just to read, to get something free or to read and mock me from afar!)

Well its been over a year since it was submitted and over a year since the last Adventure contest and I havent seen either work published. At what point do I yank the Encounters Manual back from Chaosium and just put it out on my own?

I'd try calling them first and see if they've looked at it. From where you are that might be a bit inconvenient, but it'd be the easiest way to get an answer.

Hate to say it, but the guys at Chaosium aren't the best at returning emails. I have a CoC license with them and it took me weeks of calling once a week to get the license. I originally was emailing them every couple of weeks but never got a response from them. With Chaosium, if you want a follow up on something, it's best to call.

Don't get me wrong, they're great guys to work with, but if you want results, you need to follow up with them with a phone call.

That's just my experience anyway. Maybe others have had better luck. From what I've seen and heard though, most don't.
