I need to get off my butt and write something from all the ideas that surround my head or those that I use in my campaigns, but it would take too much effort these days. Perhaps I could send for the next QtR some adventure ideas, like blurbs of a page or two.
I agree you should give it a try for sure, your Claude Renier the Renier Patriarch article is one of my favourite articles published in QtR.

You have a whole year, or almost. Just a few pages a week add up.
^_^ Give it a try.
A few pages per week? LoL. A few paragraphs per month is the best I can hope for. I don't have the energy and inspiration I used to have. When I do have the energy, I put it in my game or meet friends (we're not in lockdown here), read books or play computer games or watch shows.
By the time I remember "Oh, perhaps I should write my idea about the rat monsters ... " it is Sunday night and I am about to turn in.
Maybe you should get a writing buddy?
It really helps to stay on track, and helps to lighten the workload.

Thanks! Still, much of the idea behind him was right from Roti of the FoS. We had a discussion and it was her that suggested Claude's curse could be that he wanted to chill, relax and enjoy the fruit of labor only to be slapped in the face by the Dark Powers, progressively realizing he lives in a golden cage and that he has to be the rat that runs on the wheel.

Release date update :)

We were fearing a delay, but we managed to edit nearly all the files (except one - we hope it will be done within hours).

The netbook should be online tomorrow, around 10 am Eastern Time.

Page count : around 525 pages!

Wow!!!
Even if you couldn't manage to have it ready tomorrow (actually today for my timezone) I believe everybody would understand.
The only drawback would be the countdown fail :P

Thank you in advance for all the work you (the Fraternity Fathers) did.

Just a few hours remaining...

PS
I was DJing tonight for the eve of Hallow's eve (for me it was a private celebration for the release of QtR28)

From Viktor Hazan private journal:

Kicked the last gremishkas and spiders out of the book.

And was able to close it.

It's finished, at last!

Final page count is 529.

Many many thanks to all authors, this year is amazing in size (RL lives!) and in quality.

It's being sent in the shadowy parts of the website, as we speak.

I had trouble access the darkweb this morning, I hope Ron has not the same bug.
