Alright, time for a small update again: Right now I’m finishing up the last of the Cults chapter, looking forward to writing some Apostles the next few days. I’m hoping to get most if not all of this first draft done over the next 3-4 weeks or so. Still on schedule! And when the draft is done, I’ll be able to start pulling all the other stuff together, like illustrations etc.
Meanwhile, I’ve started on this beauty. The novels really are something! Their strong pulpy feel might not be very well-suited for Luna City Blues, but I still enjoy them for what they are. And it’s also kind of interesting since they seem to work with a slightly different version of the 1/2e canon… I mean, the first book had the internet! Pretty sure “hacking” wasn’t a thing back in the day. This second book also talks pretty openly about the impressiveness of the terraforming of Venus, while the original RPG was pretty careful not to go into much detail. The jungles were just kind of *there*. I know 3e went into more detail, but still – I enjoy seeing different variations on the MC canon
