Hi there Kickstarter fans, Apologies for the long delay since the last update. Life, the universe and other non-publishing activities have just taken up the majority of my time lately, between family duties, the Day Job and personal issues. I won’t bore you with the details. A few people have asked some questions over the…

It’s LAUNCH +6 at Daftworks Towers, and I thought I should give you a rundown on how things are going. They’re going OK, to be honest. For an indie product with only one person handling the marketing, the sales and exposure has been steady. Elite Encounters is proving to be a reasonably popular item, and…

By now, you backers out there may have received an email. Your PDF copies of the Elite Encounters RPG were sent out via email this morning. Please check the inbox for the email address you provided either through the surveys (oh so long ago) or when you let me know that you changed email addresses.…

Hello everyone. I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Sorry about that. That doesn’t mean to say that nothing has been going on. Those of you who know me and have followed me through this long, painful process should know that the times when I’m quiet tend to mean I’m busy – both on REAL LIFE…

Hi Kickstarter Fans. Apologies for the brief post the other day, but I just wanted to let you know that progress was being made. Today I’m posting, as promised, to expand on that and to fill you in on happenings past, present and future in the wibbly wobbly world of Daftworks Towers… What Have I…

About an hour or so ago I wrote an email to Frontier Developments. In that email I mentioned that I enclosed a HUGE PDF file containing the complete second draft of Elite Encounters. This isn’t just any draft. This isn’t a two-column-per-page Word document with fancy headings and a few logos on it. Oh no.…

I mean it. This is a quick update. Since the last time I posted I’ve been physically compromised. I went effectively blind, and could not use computers for longer than ten minutes at a time without severe headaches and loss of vision. This has meant that I couldn’t do any work that involves text, graphics…
