Hi,

So, as you may have read on Okay - Your Turn, I (Pitchwife) am quasi back from the dead and am back as the titular head of Delver's Square (stop sniggering, it's a real word). I thank Valmiras for attempting to step into the breach while I was in the midst of a severe nutty. In the end, my nutty outfought his desire to help, making his job impossible. Still, he fineagled one update out of me, for which I'm thankful.

Anyway, here's the plan. Delver's Square is no longer going to publish "issues" on any sort of schedule. I'm going to publish all of the as-yet-unpubished articles that look like they're ready right now, and then I'll happily publish anything else that comes my way related to Ptolus, but I'll do it as soon as I get it, and then monthly or so I'll post a recap announcement in Ptolus Miscellanous at Okay - Your Turn. I think this is the easier, saner way to do things, and that's about what I'm comfortable promising.

I'm still a passionate advocate of Ptolus. In fact, I'm about to start running a spanking new Ptolus campaign tomorrow night. It's a bunch with no knowledge of the setting, and we're not even doing anything funky with the rules (except for some Book of Experimental Might oddness tossed in). 4th Edition, Pathfinder, True20... they all look neat, but a rules-as-written campaign set in a really fantastic locale is still enough to excite a table full of 30-something grognards. I've taped together and laminated a map of the Ghostly Minstrel, and Phon Quartermain is just about to walk through the door, looking for help. It's not a monumental achievement, and neither is this casual return to Delver's Square, but I'm happy about them both. See you in the Square, I hope.

So, as I said, clearing out the old, but still valuable contributions:

Original Delver's Square admin Eldric IV has a great selection of articles here fleshing out some chaotic elements within the city. He's got another one here for you now - Servants of Chaos: Radok the Toad.

Uber-contributor (in quality if not quantity) Leland J. Tankersley saw a potential difficulty in Queen of Lies and came up with simple rules for unit combat in a 3.5 game. See the results here.

Arnon Ram's campaign of many moons ago came to and end, but through the magic of my laziness it is only now coming to a conclusion here in internetworld. Read through to the end of Melelyn's journal here, here, and here. You can also read the back issues here.
