I’m closing in on only stretching a couple of the deadlines (as opposed to actually shattering them) … and today was KEY in making that happen. I needed to finish and turn over TWO writing assignments — one a localization for a manga script, the other a second draft of an adventure for the Warriors Adventure Game. Of course, the real TRICK was to make sure that on both projects I maintained my usual level of quality and attention to detail.

I’m here, still half an hour shy of midnight, to say that I THINK I did it.

*knock on wood*

I mean, I DEFINITELY turned both projects over. I THINK I maintained my quality standards. (The editors will SURELY let me know if I’m wrong on that second bit.)

I still have an assignment left to finish … and I’m planning on spending the weekend doing that. But even though it’s a bit behind its intended schedule, I’ve stayed in touch with the client and they seem to be okay (if not wildly happy) with the current level of tardiness.

So that’s where things stand. Oh, except that I have to drive up north of L.A. tomorrow … through traffic … in what is supposed to be heavy rain … to meet with a prospective new client. I’m excited about the possible work … less so about the drive. Or the drive home (which promises to be during Friday rush hour).

By the time the end of year holidays roll around, I think I’ll TRULY have earned a week or two off.

A Solid Block of Genius
With the release of the latest Paizo.com newsletter, we see that the our Pathfinder compatible PDF products have become a solid staple on their Top 10 Downloads From Other Companies list. This week three of the top ten slots were SGG products with Loot 4 Less, vol. 1 at #5, Kobold Death Maze at #6, and The Genius Guide to the Dragonrider #7. Yes, we had aa solid BLOCK of Genius there in the middle of the chart.

It’s very gratifying to see these products do so well at the home of the Pathfinder RPG, and we’re very thankful to the folks at Paizo for all their support for our newest line of products. Hopefully we can continue to put in strong showings there in the weeks to come.

All Over the Bookshelf
Meanwhile, over at the One Bookshelf group, we ALSO have been getting strong support. The Genius Guide to the Shadow Assassin is currently the #15 overall hot product at RPGNow.com, while over at DriveThruRPG it is #4 on the small press hot list. On that same list, Kobold Death Maze is #12 and Loot 4 Less, vol. 1 is #13. If you switch to JUST the Pathfinder products, SGG continues to shine with FOUR of the top 10 at each site!

TWO Pathfinder Products Next Week
Things are going so well that we’re going to have a little bit of a celebration this week and again release TWO Pathfinder compatible products. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but keep your eyes open for an extra dose of Super Genius in the week ahead.

Cthulhu Is About To Rise
And, lest you think that we’re ONLY working on Pathfinder products these days, we’re getting ready to release our next Official Call of Cthulhu product, too.

The PDF version of Snows of an Early Winter should be available for download next week some time, and it’s being sent to the printers at the same time … so look for the hard-copy version in stores early in 2010.
