I've spent most of the day writing and have the makings of a pretty big headache. On the upside, I just finished writing the section on Damage and Healing. And earlier in the week I finished combat. All that's left of the rules now is Religion, Experience and Crafting.

Crafting and Experience are mostly written already, so maybe I could do all those next week? That would be great because then I could use the week after to write the large examples I still need to write. Then squeeze in some editing and I could be done by Thanksgiving? That's the goal anyway. We'll see how it works.

OryCon is one of the weekends in there and while it will eat up some time I'm sure it will invigorate me.

In other Ellis news the Pallazo game is going very well. We had a few sessions were only one player showed up (so chromiuml and I played Agricola instead) but we've gotten some good gaming in the last few weeks. Last week in particular, they managed to start seeing the political machinations that I've been building (albeit slowly) up to. The looks on their faces when they realized that all of those little clues actually added up to something were priceless.

Now we start to hit the part of the game that I think is best. Now that they understand the setting and the people, they can start plotting their own courses through it. Since they understand the politics (at least some of them) they can affect them in an active and purposeful manner. It means I really have to start thinking on my feet as they start meddling.
