Okay, I make a point of not promoting "Meleon" as a brand on these boards; the idea is that, sooner or later, some sort of book will come. When, how, and in association with whom, no idea yet, really.
I'm finding that writing fiction and writing RPGs is completely different, as with RPG writing, it's mainly about collecting as much content as possible. Right now, the Meleon Bible is about 50 DIN A3 pages. (Yes, DIN A3 lots of conceptual sketches, and tables.) When I have 100 pages of the kind, I'll sit down in earnest, and look what to do with the setting.
The setting, and particularly the "Beware the Tempest" storyline (set in 40 years in the future of "The Coward's Blade") would well lend themselves to some sort of attempt at writing longer fiction, but English not being my first language, I have my reservations about that. Right now, I think we might see setting book on one of the world's principal regions; Duneyrr being the favorite over Asterion and Angria, if only because fantasy with a Northern European note is generally easier to write than Byzantinian (Asterion) or East African (Angria) fantasy. "Adventures in Gravesend" - that does sound catchy, doesn't it?
Now, what I'm still doing is to prepare that I don't release - whatever I am going to release - inside a promotional vacuum. RPG books there are aplenty, and good settings as well. So, in short, what I am doing is small stuff, to get my name out. Like this one:
https://www.facebook.com/bewarethetempest/This is the Meleon Facebook page!
If the Meleon Facebook page at any point gets 500 likes - which is not an entirely unrealistic goal - I will write a short story for the fans, of about 7.300 words in length (around 20 pages), and, of course, publish it for free.
So, guys, if you want to read that story, let's get the word out! ;)
