I've been making dark sacrifices to the marketing and PR gods, but to no avail. Soon I can speak of that forbidden time, in a land beyond sanity and hope.

In the meantime, I've been a diligent modder, writing lots and lots of dialog. Endings are often a wordy affair, with farewells and threats and exclaimations of dispair. It's been fun getting the characters and plots wrapped up, a culmination of the years of events that came before them.

As for today, hopefully I can manage more of the same. Slowly getting there.

Update: I can finally talk about it! The world builder newsletter went out with news of the event.

About a month ago, Jay from Bioware dropped me an e-mail, inviting me to see the new Dragon Age toolset and hang out with the Bioware folks and other community members. I rushed to get my passport together and traveled to Edmonton for a couple days.

While I still can't talk about the toolset, I can say that I had a great time hanging out with everyone. It was wonderful meeting some of the folks on the forums I've talked with over the years, along with the Bioware crew.

The tour of the Bioware offices were great fun, though sadly there was no western themed lobby with stuffed prarie dogs (so much for my prophetic dreams). One high point was our group being pinned down by automatic Nerf gun fire.

I'm still pondering Dragon Age plans, but rest assured that I will finish Dark Waters regardless of what I do. Things are getting close to done and it'll be very satisfying to see things come to a conclusion after so many years.
