Comrades!

Slightly earlier in the month than usual, but here is the latest
news on Mythic Russia.

PROGRESS

The manuscript is proceeding well, with some chapters now being put
into a mocked-up form to finalise layout and similar practical
questions. Next month will probably see some random sample pages
being made available on the website. Speaking of which...

WEBSITE UPDATE

The usual additions to the site, including this time a Mongol
magical keyword: Tsaghan Ebugen, the practical joker with mastery of
life and death...

ART

Kathleen Jennings joins the art team, with two more artists due to
be added to the gallery shortly. Next month will also see more art
previews added to the site.

PLAYTESTING

Neil Smith's 'Wood, Blood and Snow' scenario ran at this year's
Tentacles convention to great success, and other games will be under
way shortly. We hope soon to have a Playtesters' Notes page on the
website with their impressions and experiences.

RUSSIAN NIGHT

of a 12th century Russian castle? This month's unsoliciated plug is
for Russian Night, whose website I came across by chance, but which
I'll probably look up next time in in Moscow:

RUSSIAN PROVERB OF THE MONTH

"God comes with leaden feet, but strikes with iron hands."

All the best
