The Comeback Inn was in Arneson's Village of Blackmoor (first mentioned in in print in Domesday Book #13; and thereafter experienced many months later in the first adventure that 4 LGTSA members, myself and Gary included, took into Arneson's FRPG world when he showcased it for us in Nov. 1972). The Comeback Inn had special rules for engaging with it, thus from a design view I have iterated it further as an extendable example of utilizing an ever-expanding thought process through scaling the initial design. Thus the model illustrates many stepped processes which then change as these step from its base, and can be noted by such a course to actually create a game from a game segment, or a game outside or beside a game segment, as the progressions mature, in sum creating many models over its iterated history. "The Comeback Inn had special rules for engaging with it," now that is awesome! "thus from a design view I have iterated it further as an extendable example of utilizing an ever-expanding thought process through scaling the initial design." Wow! |

 you do know it is easier to remember those things once you have given us a title for the book. Just saying!  Does it have a title yet? Or is that TBD? A book from you on the History of D&D, that is something that really should sell and I hope that those sales blow your expectations away. Anyone who hasn't read the answer to question 6 in that interviews, do yourself a favor and go read it now. May we have permission to quote that answer all over the place? The lack of a working title (I call it THE BOOK here and elsewhere) has more to do with the vast complexity and ranges of material being included in it. Once I have that all sectionalized, and then weighted, I will be better prepared to title it. |

After your wife and your publisher, we'd like to be the first to know and hope it is not too far in the future, though it sounds like you have a ways to go yet. |

After your wife and your publisher, we'd like to be the first to know and hope it is not too far in the future, though it sounds like you have a ways to go yet. Needs complete MS--probably 2 -3 months from completing. Artwork/illos will take a variable time, 3-6 weeks as the interiors are not complicated. Time to layout and edit equals another month. Then publishing. That's about (ballpark) 5-6 months. Might be out on or around Christmas. |

Well then, let's hope for five months, that way you have the whole Christmas season for it to be bought as gifts. |

I'm with Raven on this - I think TBD would be a great title for Rob's next book.
