Indeed, Crisis in Hunadora is something I started off as a one off, then it got a life of its own as news entries on the site. It was then collected by Dion and released as a netbook in it's own right. I am also responsible for the other Megan Llewelyn news items and the Shadow ot Vallaki news items that appeared at random. With the seriousness no the Hunadora reports, I decided to make the end of the Shadow news items as comical as I could as I really didn't want to create yet another drama heavy news series.

There was to be a follow-up to Hunadora that never saw light of day that was to contain a full timeline, events that were related to the siege (even those outside Invidia), the forces, NPC stats, etc. I did get about 90% of it completed when a virus wiped the pc I was using at the time and took that file with it. I got a little disheartened and never restarted it.

Needless to say, with the second book (a full sourcebook if you will), it would have been possible to stage and adaptation of the siege campaign in your own games as a full campaign, as at the time I still had all the campaign notes for it!

I still plan to do something else that is similar in time, I just need to find the right story idea to expand upon :)

I may eventually go back and rewrite, expand and improve on Crisis in Hunadora since my writing skills have improved alot since then, there are a few other things I would like to include that never appeared in the original.

Looks like the Frat's release schedule for 2006 is plenty full, if you redo Hunadora as well. But if I find the time (after this year, I'll be somewhat rpg-project-less), I'd like to help you out, if you want. After all, what keeps a setting alive are good adventures! :)
