  • Betas Galore! It must be August

    Hi everyone. Welcome to the August update. I was gonna keep this short, but every time I say that I end up writing War and Peace. So I’m just going to “chain of thought” type. LaveCon At the start of July there was LaveCon. And it was good. Oh my god it was good. Loads…

  • I’m running out of ideas for titles

    Greetings, Commanders and welcome to another monthly update from the world of Elite Encounters. It hasn’t been a great month this month. The envisioned deadline of May 31st has been and gone and the content STILL isn’t finished. Every time I finish one section, it seems like there are two more sections to take its…

  • So Long April – How Little We Knew Ye

    Hi all. Apologies for the April-May update being a little late. You may or may not know, but it’s been a very busy couple of weeks in the world of Elite Dangerous and its associated projects! I’ll get other media announcements out of the way first. Firstly, Elite Dangerous will be entering the final Alpha…

  • Headlines and Deadlines

    Monthly update time again! This is going to be a long one. I’m going to start with a quick status update and events information. The book’s technology overview section is complete, lighting the way for expanding and improving the equipment lists, and the word count so far is 108,800. Since I’m focusing on the writing…

  • Ratio of Steps Forward to Backward

    Hi everyone. Apologies for the lateness of this update. It’s been an up and down month, to be honest. I’m going to keep this one brief, because once again the day has flashed past in a blur of stuff to do. I’m only including an RPG progress report as well as a couple of notes…

  • Welcome to 2014

    Hi, y’all! Welcome to the first scheduled update of 2014. It’s been a busy month, not only in book writing terms, but in many other things too! First, a progress report on the book. Writing has continued as fast as I can manage, and I’m proud to say that I broke the 80,000 mark today!…

  • Rings Ahoy, Audio Books Ahoy!

      Hi everyone. Hope you all had a great Christmas. Now we’re in that slow week where every TV channel is doing “best of 2013” programmes. The only thing to do is to tune in to the irregular broadcasts of the Encounters Channel, where the news is always exciting! Dice Rings The greatest news ever…

  • Alpha Is GO!

    The Elite Encounters Alpha Rules were uploaded into the wild on Friday 20th December! Yes, the first draft of the rules is even now being scrutinised and (hopefully) enjoyed by the lucky “Playtester” pledgers. It’s a nerve wracking time. I don’t know what the response will be. I don’t expect I’ve got it all right…

  • Dice…Rings?

    Greetings Commanders! I know, Two updates in one day is unlike me. There is a VERY good reason though. Some time ago I started mumbling stuff about a secret, special offer that would be coming your way. Now, after the delays caused by my “issues”, I’ve finally cemented the offer. Those friendly, lovely and clever…

  • Can you smell smoke?

    Hello everyone, and welcome to another update. Progress towards alpha is almost done! All I have to do is finish off the sample adventure and it’s ready to roll. It’s got a bit more in it than originally intended, since I’ve expanded the space-based goodies more than I originally intended. I felt that since Elite…
