what I want 24-hour news cycle stories on DD! What simon had for breakfast, whatever hacked email we can get from the copy people. Candid photos of the artists at work. You know the real goods!
Thanks for your interest Mike. I can't speak for John, but I can tell you I had a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich for breakfast on the tram on my way to work this morning
As for real DD progress, there is an "official" July update planned to go thru the usual channel (John's blog) shortly. It might also be the last update before DD is released, if all goes well.
Without stealing John's thunder, to my best knowledge all there volumes have been written, revised, edited, and laid out (without illustrations). Vols 1 and 2 have also been proofed and corrected, and are with John in pre-production (where he will add illustrations and a table of contents). Vol 3 is presently in proofing. After that, it requires corrections and pre-production.

I had some sort of granola, bark, twig bar with skim milk before writing the next-to-last Delving Deeper update and fixing some text changes to the manuscript.
But if it helps, my wife was very critical of me today when it finally rained after four months and she turned on the mini-van's wipers only to find one not working at all. She immediately called me asking me, "What did you do to the wipers." Of course, one wiper just broke without my help - probably an act of God or something...

mgtremaine's thoughts echo my own. I hold out hope and have faith in the talented folks involved, but I have to admit that the shuffling about sorta quenches the flame of excitement.
I'm sure this will be renewed when it's eventually released and I see active support, etc.
As long as there's a Lulu hardback, I'll be happy (as if I haven't already flapped my jaw about that enough).

Remember that this board continues to remain to be the "official" spot to discuss Delving Deeper. No matter what label is put on it or what name of the company is printing the game, this board hasn't changed and support/discussion should be happening right here!

I’ll be honest: I purchased Delving Deeper based on the awesomeness of S&W:WB. Specifically, the obvious love that John Adams (not Matt nor Marv, sorry guys) put into his edition of S&W:WB. I’m still looking forward to DD, but it is deflating to know that John Adams isn’t in love with it.

It's never great news to hear someone is feeling deflated.
But I honestly can't see how one would conclude that John would give any less love to DD than he did to S&W:WB, or to any other product?
The way I see it, the fact that anyone would devote the staggering amount of time, effort, and money, and put up with all the issues and stresses around getting a product "out there" is a demonstration of love.

No offense taken. That's the same reason that I bought one.
