Please excuse the taking of liberties in spreading the word on this.

I hope that my little effort will amuse you, and everyone else as well. I am hoping to finish the thing in the spring of this coming year, and get into your hands right after that. In the meantime, here's some information on what you can expect:
"To Serve The Petal Throne"
The work is divided into six volumes, for the ease of use of the reader:
Book One: The Chalice Of The Flame [11,238]
Relating the beginnings of the original Thursday Night Group, and their adventures up until the revealing of Prince Mirusiya hi Tlakotani…
Book Two: Beneath The Blazoned Sail [20,895]
Relating the further adventures of our heroes, on their first voyage to the Southern Continent with Captain Harchar of the Clan of the Blazoned Sail, and what befell them there…
Book Three: Advance Standards! [6,927]
Relating the epic adventures of our heroes as they go to war, on the Northwest and Northeast Frontiers, and their battles lost and won…
Book Four: Across The Sea Of Worlds [7,526]
Relating the adventures of our heroes on their second voyage of discovery with Captain Harchar, and the strange places they visit…
Book Five: The Golden Seal [37,323]
Relating the adventures of our heroes as they march forth on the marches, trying to preserve the City and Province of Hekellu and the Chaigari Protectorate, and the many and strange occurrences on their way…
Book Six: To The Distant Shores [16,316]
Relating the continuing epic (and not so epic) adventures of our heroes as they attempt to age gracefully in a time of strife and civil war…
[Word counts per book are as of 2/8/14. Total word count as of this date for the series is 102,038.]
What is this all about, anyway?
This series of books are the adventures of the original Thursday night gaming group of Prof. M. A. R. Barker, over some fifteen years of gaming. The text is taken from the logbooks and audio recordings made during those game sessions, with additional enlightenment from the Professor as thought needed for the education of the reader.
Why should I take the time to read this?
Well, you might be able to learn something about the way the Professor viewed his creation, and how he liked to present it to the group. You might also find a few nuggets of information that you might be able to use in your own games set in his world.
How can I get a copy?
We'll be setting up a dedicated website for the book; watch this space for announcements.It will be free to download; I will not be 'selling' the book.
My goal is not to make money; my goal is to tell you about all those nights, long ago and far away, when a scribe by the name of Firu ba Yeker (of the Clan of the Uttermost Secret - Phil's own player-character, created about 1952 or so) would sit in the market place and regale us player types with all the latest gossip, rumors, and scandals. This is his story, told to you as I lived it, and I hope you'll hear his voice in my pages...
