	I have achieved limited alliteration. This will be my next adventure. Just to be different, it has no Manga-ness. It's more steampunkish, and features some effectively-powerful baddies. Because I like you'se guys - here is a piece of concept art of one of the bad guys (she's the nice one of the bunch) Art-guy Yad is busy with work from FASA, but he assures me that he'll be on the job in a couple of weeks. It also features a couple of these - and that's the mundane stuff.

	Matt wrote on Mar 5^th, 2015 at 12:07am: What's it about? I guess I do need a teaser... The city of Centerville is being held hostage by a magic-wielding megalomaniac who uses clockwork soldiers and Bionic Valkyries as his muscle. He commands his forces from a flying ship (not a blimp... an actual ship) that wields the power to destroy the city with a single shot. His demands are simple, he will accept only total rule over all of the nations of the Earth. If his demands are not met, he'll kill the citizens of the town a few at a time - when he runs out of citizens, he'll turn the town into a smoldering crater, and move on to the next city until his demands are met. No anime or manga in this one. Really more of a "Golden Age" kind of plot. Thunderbolt --- I can't remember Yad just labelled her as "Valkyrie" LOL! I may need to talk to him about that.

I like it because Yad hates drawing MECHA, and I like making Yad suffer.

	After some recent discussions with other creators, I have elected to step away from my role as a contributor for the V&V product line. I don't know if I am allowed to just give my unpublished work away at this point, so this adventure may be further delayed. It will be nice to come to this forum as a fan of the game, a player, and a GM, instead of someone representing FGU. I harbor no ill will towards Mr. Bizar. And I enjoy chatting with most of the contributors - they have some fun/weird/fun ideas that are great fodder for "fan-boy chatter". Thanks for supporting my work. Now let's talk V&V for real!

	After a bit of arm-twisting by Yad, I've agreed to finish this project (since it was ready for art and layout anyway). It should be an enjoyable adventure. No anime or manga this time, just the old stand-by of a power-crazed megalomaniac who wants to rule the world. His henchmen are robots, and his lieutenants are powered-up bionic/android/robotic-body ladies with minds twisted by years of brainwashing (and "medication"). The main bad guy is basically nuts, and was involved in both WWI and WWII. He is a fairly powerful magic user with an android body and has visions where a Norse goddess tells him to take over the world - so he's nuts. As always I enjoy seeing my books in print - it has yet to grow old.

	Nope. If this adventure were not already written and waiting on art, I would not have moved ahead with it. I probably would have ended up posting it here for free. But your fake quote had me wondering if I had lost my mind for a few seconds

	Well guys, after a freakishly long delay, "Centerville City Under Siege" has been compiled and sent off to the boss (Mr. Bizar). With a bit of luck ya'll will have it in your hands fairly soon. Sorry this took so long... thanks for waiting, there is an outside chance that it will be worth the wait.

Looks as though the "correct" number will be 2040c, so it will be in the same Giant as "Department 88" (2040b). I cannot remember what 2040a is though.

Unfortunately, this one may take a while. It and "Department 88" are in Giant no. 10 (I think), so it'll be printed after Giant No. 9 (and I haven't seen anything from that one yet). Hopefully it'll be worth waiting for. I know I'm jonesin' to get a fully published version of Department 88.

	LOL!!!! AK sent me an PM. Turns out there is no spellcheck in software Yad used to lay out the cover, and he and I are both dyslexic as hell. Go back to the image of the cover and read it very carefully.

	I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. That's one of those words I have to look up, as I can never remember how it's properly spelled.

	I'm unable to get it, as the website is one of the most frustrating I've ever dealt with. First it would not recognize me. Even though I have my password saved and tried it 3-4 times, it kept telling me it didn't recognize my username/email. But then when I went to create a new account, it said my username/email was already taken. So I tried saying that I'd lost my password, and it instantly sent me a confirmation email. Which the "confirmation link" sends me right back to the page where it all started (where it won't let me even log in). I can imagine a new customer would have given up long, long ago... I would have loved to see what you came up with, John. Unfortunately, FGU's website sucks.

	Update: I was able to get it, as I was sent another email that actually allowed me to change my password (even though I'd never lost it). Bottom line, I was able to get it, though it wasn't just $4. They also add $3 for shipping, even though it's just a PDF (must be an electronic fee for "shipping" it across the internet) It's also worth noting that the misspelling in the title was fixed, though the electronic document itself (which it automatically saves as unless you change it) still has it spelled wrong. Yad did a great job on the artwork!

I had trouble with the website, too. I didn't have PayPal. The guy who replied to my email told me to select PayPal to pay with, and then select Master Card instead of PayPal.

	The website issue may have been a propagation thing. Since I finished the project and it is the holiday, we have taken a bit of time to work on the site to tighten some things up with behind the scene code stuff. You may have noticed the images on the front page are crisper than they used to be. Sooo yeah, sorry about that. Also with replacing files, there is for some reason an odd delay, especially if the files have the same name. Thank you for the compliments.
