The ShapeLess One 02-01-07, 07:49 PM	I notice that the Realms has only had one article this month. Does anyone know why?
Evergreen_Aldaron 02-01-07, 07:56 PM	Yes, Ed has been swamped and simply hasn't gotten to it yet. There is some coming.... Old Sage - can you provide a link please...can't find it over at Candlekeep. ;) EA
Old Sage 02-01-07, 08:55 PM	I'll do better than that... I'll provide the replies from the Lady Hooded One:- From Jan. 17th -- "Ed tells me the delay is his fault. Wizards still have Waterdeep News items by him, but have run out of both Realmslore and Border Kingdoms entries (assuming we've had all three High Mukshar instalments; I've not checked) [from Old Sage: No, just the first High Mukshar installment so far...] - - and he's been too blamed busy with [NDA and NDA, so assume still-secret WotC projects, as well as helping XXX with NDA] to get any more ready, yet. Ed says this past year has been scheduling hell for him; 4 novels, 3 game products and assists with others, about 30 webcolumns, a dozen or so short stories, and lots of "incidental writing, editing, and critiquing." (And, of course, he does have a day job, chairs a library board, helped get a local mayor elected, speaks to school classes, at cons, and seniors' and literary groups, yadda yadda heaping yadda . . .) So please be patient; Ed will get new lore to Wizards as soon as he can! love, THO" and this, from just yesterday -- "Sorry, WalkerNinja, but as I said earlier: Ed simply hasn't had the time, whilst juggling three novels, two game products, and a big NDA at once (and holding down a real-life job that has nothing to do with gaming, don't forget), to write more articles. He's very sorry about that, but he just CAN'T invent more time for his day. As it is, he's down to about three hours sleep a night, cramming as much extra writing time into his life as he can. It's quite likely that his lore replies here at the Keep will become more sporadic, too, in the month ahead. Sigh. On the bright side, I see 2007 hosting the publication of THREE new Ed Greenwood novels. Only one is a Realms book, but, hey, it's SWORDS OF DRAGONFIRE. love, THO"
The ShapeLess One 02-01-07, 09:14 PM	Thanks for the fast replys. Some top secret WoTC game products. Sounds good. Wow I did not know how busy Ed really was. I would go crazy if I were that busy.
Old Sparky 02-02-07, 03:03 PM	When does he find time to DM for his longtime regular group amidst all that?
MarkusTay63 02-02-07, 03:24 PM	When does he find time to DM for his longtime regular group amidst all that?This is a perfect example of why a person should never turn something they enjoy doing into a job. When "fun" becomes "work", it's just not any fun anymore. :(
Faraer 02-02-07, 05:42 PM	I hadn't realized that the Border Kingdoms pieces were coming from Ed, since he submitted them all years ago to Polyhedron, and there must have been a ****-up for him to have to resubmit them.
Old Sage 02-02-07, 06:36 PM	Well, remember Ed did say he revised most of them, and had the odd two or three tidbits still sitting around that either didn't make it into the original POLYHEDRON articles or were cut from Power of Faerun. I'm assuming Ed gives them a final lookover, again, before submitting them to WotC.
