"Another back breaking day"

And?

"I wrote my keister off over the weekend and Megaverse in Flames continues to be devilish fun to work on. It never goes as fast as any of us would like,"

"we all agree that Carl Gleba has knocked this book out of the park."

Ok you wrote your keister off but Carl knocked it out of the park.....so if he knocked it out of he park why are you writing so much? get the book done. Whatever you are adding can be a supplemental splatbook later.

"That’s the thing I love about Carl's work, his ideas are brilliant."

Yet you feel the need to write your keister off as part of the editing process.....and the book still doesn't sound like it;s near completion....

There he goes again, using "mouth watering" to describe product. Based on that statement alone I figure the book will suck. Just look at RRT.

Another backbreaking day in the warehouse, especially for Jeff, Matthew and Alex. We're all going to sleep well tonight. We have cleared 85% of the floor space that we needed cleared in anticipation of Robotech® RPG Tactics product.

So... it took you an entire day to clear just a portion of the floorspace in your warehouse that you need for the RPG Tactics garbage?  This is indicative of one of two things: either you don't know how to use space effectively, in which case you're an idiot and should be beaten with a cane rod for your failures, or you're incapable of using your time effectively, in which case you're an idiot and should be beaten with a cane rod for your failures.

In short, beatings should be imminent.

It’s weird to see the place looking so empty and hearing an echo in one half of the facility.

Yeah, it must be a new and novel sensation seeing a space devoid of the products your company couldn't move for love or money.

It will get filled up quickly when the Robotech® RPG Tactics game boxes, expansion kits, Battle Foam bags, and Kickstarter packs for Wave One start to arrive. Can hardly wait.

Which it will no doubt take you several years to get rid of. Have fun.

The first alarm goes off here... whenever Kevin uses the word "epic", it's usually a sign that he's trying to put a little preemptive polish on that turd. "Mouthwatering" is the other watchword for impending failure.

For those of us who have seen the book so far (Alex, Matt and I), we all agree that Carl Gleba has knocked this book out of the park.

A park built for the exclusive use of a hypothetical microscopic alien race, I take it?

Kevin wrote:

Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames has all kinds of ideas for adventure that will make your mouth water. There is so much meat to this book. Meaty characters. Meaty settings. Meaty ideas. And plenty of magic and mayhem to sink your teeth into. Yep, an outstanding book.

I know it's BBQ season, Kevin... but your company hasn't done anything mouthwatering EVER. The only meat present will likely be rancid.

I think it's because he really writes like a Game Master.

As opposed to you, writing like a cretin or a man who doesn't read his own material? I'm a little terrified that you think books having continuity is a new and novel notion.
