I played a little SWG last year, but I got bored with it.
However... My character lives on! I'm using him in my on-again/off-again project of making some additional Lords of Waterdeep. I'm porting over his name, and going with the same basic tactics and mentality, just translated to D&D (instead of that nifty blaster, he's got a longbow).  |

Why where you bored?
Arent the missions as involved as NWN/BG games?

My understanding from a friend that play, it takes a "dedicated" player (i.e. not a casual player) about a year to even try to become a Jedi, and if you miss even one piece of plot for that, you have to wait about 3 months before it appears again. |

I didn't know that CoS was available in the Land of Oz... .
What would the resident Wizard think?

Hey, I'm not short!
Although the analogy is an apt one for the Realms. Ed e-mailed me once when I pointed out a 'discrepancy' in some FR writings and said:
"George, George, I don't make anything up about the
Realms: ELMINSTER does. * I * am the Great and
Powerful OZ, and provide the ice cream and drinks,
remember?
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain yadda
yadda."
I've really got to meet the man in the flesh one day.

I think we'd all like to do that...  .
Well except for those of us who has alrdy done so. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I say we badger Phil Athans or Peter Archer into sending Ed down here for another book tour
The head of the book department should get ready for emails every day....
Dargoth: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
Sage: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
GeorgeK: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
Next day
Dargoth: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
Sage: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
GeorgeK: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
and the day after that
Dargoth: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
Sage: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
GeorgeK: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
and the day after that
Dargoth: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
Sage: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
GeorgeK: Can you send Ed down here for a book tour?
and so on and so forth |

Ed has been to Australia several times in the past.
We simply have to determine where and when he'll appear next, and make every effort to descend on the particular city he will visit .

He hates the plane trip - being tall and all, he walks off the plane like a cripple. We'll have to get WotC to send him 1st Class.

I know there was a delay of about a week between the two products in the states. Here's wishing for you and others in Oz (the country, not the series) that the delay is less. |

The last I heard, the shipment for the Great Southern Land just recently left the US. This was several days ago though so I'm expecting another update within the next few days.
