As of this update, the second version of Chapter 3 of Lords of Infinity is now complete, which means I’m devoting my efforts to finishing the final version.
This third branch (Chapter 3C) is perhaps the most interesting of the three, at least, from a design standpoint. It’s going to be the rarest, since accessing it relies on the player making a series of very specific decisions in Guns of Infinity, and then importing that file over. My optimistic estimate is that maybe 5-10% of players will end up seeing it, or even knowing of its existence at all, unless they find out through forum posts or word of mouth (or this blog, for that matter).
However, this does not mean that this chapter is going to be any shorter or less fully featured than 3A or 3B. Nor does it mean that someone coming into the series fresh won’t be able to have a good time with the two chapters they will have access to (though the existence of the third version offers another incentive for newcomers to buy the whole series). It does mean that I’ll be able to essentially create what is going be a more or less “secret” storyline, full of unique content which will not only be a full chapter, but serve as a goal in itself, just like certain chapters of Guns of Infinity were.
In the meantime, August’s installments of A Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea and An Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms are now up.

Oh, is that why the arrival of Lord Renard is still WIP?

We’re retooling the thread into a full sub-forum, and it’ll be locked until we’re done.
Don’t worry. it should only take a day or so.

Is it still being retooled? I haven’t been able to find out anything from the Coice of Games Forums.

I think the new setup requires you to have an account and get it approved first.

That was it exactly. Have never had to do a tutorial to post on a forum before.

Mmm. You didn’t quite answer my first question, but my new bet on 3C has to do with a certain blackmail from a certain shady officer over a certain disastrous action… is it close? I’m taking this guess solely based on Sabres and Guns.
