Hey Seth,

I know Scarlet Jester has had a role in the development of the Alyria mechanics. Is that an ongoing involvement on his part? Are there as-yet-unrevealed expanded or nuanced game mechanics in waiting, or in development? Or has he moved on to other projects?

Alas, I have not spoken to the Crimson One in several months. I got busy with finishing school and then the move, plus my computer crashed.... It's been a hectic few months.

That's a pity, too, because I like him a lot.

So he has not been involved in the project for a while, but his contribution is invaluable, obviously.

As far as mechanical tweaks, as I work through the new manuscript, I will probably implement game tweaks and so on that need to be tested. In a way, I stepped away from Alyria for several months, and now that I'm coming back to it, I'm seeing ways of improving the original design that will better achieve the goals that I set for this design. For example, a few threads down I discussed how I'm going to tighten up chargen.

So, no major overhauls or revelations. Just going to tighten up what already exists.
