[3:16] Range Map: why the aliens are fixed.

So, I have been having correspondence from someone who has 3:16. They asked:

-----
>>>The aliens NEVER move on the range map.
>>>Only PCs move on the range map.
>
>Interesting. Why did you rule it like that?
>Any particular reason, metagaming -wise,
>why the aliens' counters don't move?
-----

Why did I rule it like that? Because it works and it's elegant is my answer.

Left 4:16 Dead (a 3:16 mashup with Left 4 Dead)

The Pompey Crew are working on a hack/mash-up of 3:16 based on the videogame Left 4 Dead.

They've put a great amount of effort and detail into it so far: Left 4:16 Dead.

I think GeigerCounter would do Left 4 Dead pretty well, but using 3:16 takes it in another direction. I think it's pretty cool.

[3:16] Reviews at RPGnet and IPR

So, the first review rolled into RPGnet today and I'm superpleased that it's a 4/4. The text of the review is also overwhelmingly positive. It's a well-written review, others should take note (stares at the usual suspects LOL).

Simon Rogers also posted a nice mini review-let comment on IPR too.

[3:16] Fan Art

Hey, some guy has put a piece of fan art based on the art in the books.

It has this cool thing where you can watch the image being assembled. I've seen Jon Hodgson do those animations before and I think they're very cool.

[3:16] Ongoing Sales

Following up from my initial sales thread...

OneBookShelf had a problem with their database in August and so they've lost track of the pre-GenCon sales. They've written to customers and publishers about this, but it does mean that I'm waiting to find out how many PDFs they are going to pay me for during August. I'm certain I had 20+ sales by the 11th of August, when I last checked before heading to GenCon. We'll see what the numbers come out at. Since the system was reset it's been doing well on OBS, though.

GenCon was 114 sold and 18 comps handed out (mainly to the Ennies and so on).
