Snow by Night

This week’s Almanac entry is the Seigneur. Since so much of the action in this and the past chapter has centered around the manse of the Seigneur de Foucault, I wanted to talk a little bit about the “nobles” of Aradie. Yes, nobles is in quotes, because the nobility of Saronne would not consider them nobles at all.

I also have some good news and some bad news. The bad news first. Half of my staff is down in Atlanta attending DragonCon. If you are going and bump into them, please say hello. They’ll be the two artists flinging paint at people. Watch out. Naty kicks. Anyway, I will need to evoke the holiday clause for Labor Day. We will not be posting a page update on Monday. My apologies for any inconvenience. But we’ll have a fresh new page on Wednesday, and maybe something more, which brings me to the good news.

The good news! Diane is very close to having the store ready to roll. We’ll be putting the final touches on it over Labor Day weekend and we hope to have it up next week. Once that is up, you can order books, prints, and buttons. No more waiting for us to come to a convention near you. The store is pretty slick looking. Diane did a great job with it. I think you’ll like it.

Chapter 5, Page 4 is up. Mathilde lights into Jassart for breaking his promise. Can he talk his way out of this one? Hmmm. We shall see. To see who or what Mathilde considers the weak link, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

In other news, Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue is getting some great reviews. Please check them out on Amazon, EN World, Nerdvana, and Diehard Game Fan.

Chapter 5 Page 3 is up. Being a showgirl, Mathilde knows how to make an entrance. But Jassart might not like the show he’s about to get. To see a peek of the two of them getting into it, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.

The long promised GenCon report is up. I did it through pictures. They’re all up on our Facebook page. I had a great time at the convention. I got to meet Greg in person as well as Christine – one of my fellow artists in SpiderForest. Wizards also released my book Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue. It got a very good review on EN World. I’m so excited.

For this week’s Almanac entry, I’m describing two more of the guilds of Sherbourg. Since Mathilde is visiting the marketplace, it seemed appropriate to discuss the Artisans’ League and the Mercers’ Consortium.

I still didn’t get a chance to upload all the pictures from GenCon. While I’m doing fine for having surgery, I’m on crutches and sleeping a lot. The convention report was one of the casualties. I’ll see about getting it done tomorrow. So keep an eye on our Facebook page.

Chapter 5, Page 2 is up. Mathilde goes shopping and doesn’t like what she overhears at the marketplace. To see a preview of what Mathilde does next, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics. I’m afraid that I don’t have a convention report for you from GenCon. I have knee surgery tomorrow so I’m a little distracted. I’ll do my best to get the report up for the Friday update.

Hello everyone! Diane and I are back from GenCon (just got back 15 minutes ago at 1 a.m.). The convention was incredible. I’ll have a convention report and pictures up by Wednesday.

Chapter 5 Ill-Gotten Gains begins. In this chapter Blaise and Jassart discover the many consequences of a job well done. To see a preview of the first consequence, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Journal entries are great, if you remember to do them. I completely spaced on it so this morning was a shock and scramble with lots of Muppet-like flailing. I sometimes wonder if I’d remember my name if people didn’t call me it all the time >_<; Oi Vey.

Anyways, Things have been a bit crazy but we’re still gearing up for Chapter 5. This one should be a lot of fun! A bit more action and some consequences for past action. Or maybe actions? Guess you gotta stay tuned to find out. C:

Thanks again to all who stop by and read. And a special thanks to those who comment! It means a lot to us, even when it’s a critique! It means the world to know you took the time to comment, so thanks!

Again, sorry this is so short. Life distracted me and I fell short this week on my duties >__<;; Arg!

Diane’s note: It’s okay Britt, both Eric AND I forgot about the update too! Whoops. That’s a lot of memory loss right there. Sorry about the confusion, and I hope you enjoy Eric’s update to our Alamanc entry under Weapons.

Page 7 of Law of the Riverside Part 2 is up. This concludes Ald’s tale of how and why he came to Saronne. My thanks to Natalie Baaklini for bringing it to life with her incredible art. She did a fabulous job, especially considering that I asked her to pick up coloring duties on top of the vignettes. She’s a woman of miracles.

We start Chapter 5 on Monday. It’s titled Ill-Gotten Gains. To see Brittany’s inks for the cover, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Diane and I leave for GenCon tomorrow. I’ll be away until Sunday night, running the new iteration of D&D. It looks really good. I’m really excited about sharing it with new players. Brittany will be doing the journal entry on Friday. So you’re in for a treat.
