It's nearly finished. It's been nearly finished for awhile now; I'm
juggling too much stuff! Bad S. John. No donut.

I still have pretty high hopes for it being a 2004 release, though I
still prefer not to announce release dates until I have a title in
final blindtest and layout. I have one other title that I'm putting
into a new playtest round in the next couple of days, and after
that's in circulation my next "closer" is Points2. I won't be doing
any page-layout on Medieval France, for example, until Points2 is out
the door (although I've been doing some preliminary work on the
MedFrance cartography, because I'm an incurable map whore ... this is
how my schedule tends to bleed all over itself).

One of the things that has been delaying Points2 is the playtest
rounds (five drafts so far) on the mini-game in the back. I may end
up surgically removing that part of it and tabling it as a later
project. It's a sparky little mini-wargame that works on any of the
deckplans, and so far the wargame-oriented playtesters have grooved
on it while the non-wargame-oriented playtesters have been flummoxed
and confused by it. So I think it may be time to kick it out of
Points2 and into a standalone status where it won't bother anyone
that isn't in a being-flummoxed mood :)

The All-Systems Library titles are unencumbered by stat-blocks. They
don't even have Risus stats in them (although I keep meaning to post
some as a separate freebie download) ...
