Shaintar is a huge sandbox with lots of opportunity to expand so it'll be interesting to see how it progresses. I know Sean mentioned something on the PEGinc forums regarding finalization of agreements and such... here's to hoping :) We'd love to have you drink the SW kool-aid and join the rest of us!

I've started my own Shaintar campaign with my home group (co-GM'd, shared world style) so I can more easily play-test new stuff. I love Serenity/Cortex so Savage Worlds feels great to me as well. I'm exploring a lot of different ways to contribute SW stuff starting in 2010. Thanks for the compliments on the Serenity Adventures. I enjoyed working with MWP on that and others. Not sure what the future holds there as they have changed leadership and may be trying to do a lot more 'in-house' rather with freelancers like myself. Still, I hope they continue their Serenity licensed work, with or without me. (Though with would be more fun. :) ) Hi Chris,

I've been wanting to run a Firefly Savage Worlds campaign for some time but have yet to make it happen. Was curious to know if you managed to work anything out with Sean Fannon at Talisman (was at Talisman... think he's going to be changing his publishing house for Shaintar) as I'd love to see some of your stuff make it into the Savage Worlds world. Just picked up the Serenity RPG adventures this weekend and wanted tell you that I really enjoyed your work - I think it was the best presented material with regard to the GM! Nicely done! Thanks, Chris Hi Jim,

Fantasy campaigns have a tendency to have a huge city as its base - Grayhawk, Sharn, Waterdeep, Ptolus, etc. This gives the DM tons of options, but it also limits the PCs role in the machinations of the city. 5th level PCs in Sharn are nobodies. At best, perhaps one faction likes them and another does not. However, you move the center of the campaign to Stormreach, it is a whole different game. Stormreach is much smaller and intentionally set up as a microcosm of the main continent. If a DM and players so enjoy, 5th level PCs would be ensnared in all sorts of Byzantine plots.
