Nice to see you again, MLEX! And good luck with the publishing! I remember reading something of yours back in the day, and it definitely seemed interesting!
A little has changed since you've been gone; We got the start of the TRPG going (I'm still keeping an eye on it, though there haven't been posts lately). Activity has been low lately; I haven't been able to contact IB recently, although SilentSentinel (you may remember him as RagingPrimeape) has been lurking around. Also recently Inferno001 has been taking a crack at the demo, and it seems like he's doing an impressingly good job ironing some stuff out.
