About time! 
Hey, Alaundo, I was looking over the SO SAITH ED PDFS and I noticed that Kuje's name is still listed as "collator". Didn't he step down? And if so, whose collating Ed's replies now? Will their name also be mentioned on the site too? It'd make it easier for us to contact him or her for the replies that haven't been uploaded to Candlekeep (since I don't think Kuje would want us pestering him Hahahaha!!!!  )

| Ah, finally an update. Great to see So Saith Ed updated. Now, if I can only give myself a kick in the behind to get myself working with some contributions again. |

Yayyy!
My undying gratitude to whomever's collating the So Saith Ed's. I use the existing files frequently; gods be thanked for searchable PDFs!
I look forward to seeing what the Dagger of Deliverance folks have been up to! I enjoyed the clip hosted here and have found it a great tool to visually explain some aspects of LARPing. |

Well met, Alaundo.
The version of "Faerūnian Firearms" I had sent you had been meant as a technical copy; I hadn't taken the time to polish it and add in some in-world flavor.
Any chance I could work on, and send you an updated version, with the intention of replacing the version posted?  |

Alaundo, I've sent you the update, which besides spelling and similar fixes is written through the eyes of a certain Berduskan clockmaking, alchemist mage, who provides an in-universe introduction to the concepts and tactics of the firearms featured.
Hopefully, you, the other scribes, and guests will enjoy this version much more over just the plain rules. |
