Black Friday Weekend Sale

This afternoon I noticed a very nice burst of sales, and couldn't figure out why... turns our there is a 25% off sale at RPGNow, and my stuff is included! So take advantage of great prices on many different DCC titles while the sale lasts. :)

See the deals at RPGNow

You can of course also purchase Purple Sorcerer Adventures at the sale prices through The Purple Sorcerer Store.

Happy News

Hey Crawlers!

A couple happy bits of news to share: first, I'm beginning to recover from the effects of the bell's palsy. I can blink my left eye, and I'm starting to get some movement in both my eyebrow and the left side of my mouth. I'm thrilled that such good signs are appearing less than two weeks after all this weirdness started. :)

Secondly, The Carnival of the Damned has been approved by the Dark Master, and I'll be starting the print proof process this weekend. With luck, the print version and PDF will be available within 2 weeks. (As always, with print items you learn to expect the unexpected, and each round of proofs adds 10-14 days to the process. But I'm feeling lucky!)

Take care everyone.

A bit more quiet I'm afraid...

Earlier in the week, after a morning believing I was experiencing an allergic reaction, I suddenly realized the left side of my face was sagging, and I could no longer close my left eye. After eight hours in the hospital, two MRI's and many additional tests, in the main it seems I've been struck with Bell's Palsy, and as a result, the left half of my face is completely paralyzed: I can't close my eye, expressions are strange, and eating and drinking are a grand adventure. :)

There's no way to know how long this will last. For most, the effects fade within a month, but can reoccur occasionally throughout life. The gentleman across the hall from me in the hospital has dealt with his for 71 years. I'm surrounding by a loving family and an understanding employer, and I'm beginning to adjust just fine. But reading and editing and doing work is challenging. (I picked up an eye patch today, which is a huge help, but using touch-devices is now a bit of a hunting and pecking adventure.)

I'm sure I'll get back in the swing of things shortly, but on top of the other physical challenges I'm dealing with, I imagine progress will be slow. Thanks to everyone for your understanding.

Take care,

Jon
