Critical Hit: I Am Down to 1 Hit Point


 Extreme bad luck struck this month when my SSD hard drive suddenly died.  My backup was fairly recent but did not save very much.  Luckily, all scripts and music - the irreplaceable stuff - was saved.  All told, I lost about 100-120 hours of work, including four completed, yet-to-be-released episodes and another 8 partials.  I'm currently in rebuild mode but the amount lost means I will not be able to keep my normal release schedule.  I'll try to get episode 48 out on time, but then I will have to release some bonus content as a stop-gap. I'll do that on Feb 15. On March 1 I will try to resume my usual schedule with episode 49.  It has been a difficult thing to come to terms with, but quitting is not an option, so it's time to roll up my sleaves and get to work.


(There's also some good news coming - but I'll save that for now, and announce it in episode 48.)

    Devastating... that fletcher's stone starts looking pretty tempting when you've lost the equivalent of a dozen sheaves.
