On a layover in Houston right now. When will I sleep? Once I get to California I think I have to go out and cut down a Christmas tree...maybe I'll get an hour on the flight to San Jose. :-)

[talysman]

Will the links to the author PDFs go out at the same time as the ads go out? (In other words, when you get the time after the hectic holiday travel?)

[monk]

It took me all day to figure out the meaning of this thread title. As the "monk", I feel a little embarrassed by that. ;D

[calithena]

Yes, I still have not slept (over 36 hours awake now ), but once I get a good night's sleep I will run ads and send out contributor PDFs. Tomorrow unless double super secret insomnia gets the better of me.

If anyone asks, just tell 'em you're one of them Eastern monks with the quivering palm. That'll both give you an excuse and stop 'em from making fun of you!

Cal: Sleep, then shill, then send. We understand.

[foxroe]

That Danforth cover is sweet!

[ant]

Very, very nice.

[kesher]

Awesome.

...though I still don't get the thread title.

When the pope is chosen white smoke comes out of the chimney when the votes are burned, otherwise it is black. I think that is the allusion he was going for.

Good idea.

Ah, yes, thanks.

[calithena]

Those of you who have blogs, facebook pages, etc. and feel like announcing or discussing the new issue, it's always a big help to spread the word. I will get a contributor PDF ready next and get it out to everyone ASAP. Thanks again for all your help!

[kesher]

Sweet! Posted on Facebook.

[tomgordon]

*squee* That's great! Can't wait to check it out!

[Alex Schroeder]

Hurray!

Goblin Market is just beautiful.

I thought so too.

[talysman]

There's an error (my fault) in the "Cantrips Gone Wild!" article. The cantrip verbs table under the entry for Open/Close reads: "This affects an object up to human size or weight and can [...], but doesn’t cause changes on a surface as would Touch." It should probably read "... can produce one physical change that could be accomplished with a simple hand movement, but doesn't cause changes on a surface..." Don't know how I missed that.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words.

I would like to add that I was blown away and deeply flattered by the illustrations for the article, not just for their quality but for how faithful they were to the descriptions that I wrote. It's wild to see something crawl out of your head and on to the printed page like that.

[makofan]

Thank you very much to the cartographer and artists for your work in the Fungus Forest. It is awesome!

I love this one too.

[monk]

I'll join in thanking the artists and cartographer who made Xoth-Ragar's mysterious laboratory come to life. Great job, guys!

[calithena]

Kensanata is the deadline cartographer. We have a lot of good map guys - Alex is one of the best and is always up to covering our rear ends when we don't get organized until the last minute. He does good work!

[amityvillemike]

Although I truly love Ravi's aged, sepia-tone map of Wildwyck County, I expect that a cleaner, black and white version is more conducive to usability. If you'd like to download such a version, please visit my Secret Antiquities blog for that and other Wildwyck goodness--including stuff that got trimmed for space!

Thank you all for the kind words.
