Well met, Thelonius
Glad ye like the new content
Regarding the Candlekeep Compendium...watch this space  Part of the issue which halted the release of Volume 10 was the constraints enforced by WotC with the Fan Site Policy. |

| Ah ok, didn't know about some Fan policy by WotC, thanks for the headsup |

Much appreciated. The forums are fun, interesting, and useful, but updates to the main site itself are always glad news.  |
One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

Well met
Thanks all for the feedback; it's always good to hear if fellow scribes are enjoying the new material. Thanks too, of course, to those who have submitted this latest batch of work (and apologies for the delay on getting this out).
From now on (and in particular for Candlekeep v2), updates will be provided more dynamically as and when they arrive, rather than having lengthy periods between releases. So keep an eye out on our social networking sites for quick bursts of information on new novels, items of lore etc. |
