Production Update and some Artwork

I've been working away at the layout, doing one thing then changing my mind and re-doing most of the whole thing, then changing my mind again. I would say that the core book with the new rules system: Swords of Cydoria, is 95% complete. I'm doing some new illustrations and tweaking some layout stuff. Then I'll re-do the index and it will be finished.

I've also started writing a source-book/adventure called Exiled in Eris, which is a kind of sandbox setting. I'm moving "the City in the Mirage" adventure over to that source book, plus including a lot more information on the region of Eris and a new town/adventure location called Acik-Sehir. After that I'll convert the Blade of Takshaka to the new system. Then my plan is to write Sorcerers of Cydoria, a source-book for "magic" and supernatural powers.

Fans of the original BRP monograph should be aware: I'm making some setting changes. Most of the changes are cosmetic. For example, I'm changing the names of a lot of things.

• Nazarians  are now Aeonians
• Xoog are now Caste-Spawn
• Jinx are now Factotums
• Brux are now Drudges
• Orix are now Myrmidons
• Added a new race called the Savants
• Arus is now Eris
• Biomancers are now Terat
• Biomancy is now Teratology
• Daka are now Dakazi
• Capridians are now Bakiri
• Zorin is now Xurin

Other things are to the backstory.

• "Earth was hit by rogue planetoid" has been replaced with "Sdara Vatra merged our universe with a parallel universe", which conveniently allows me to have contradicting timelines and mysterious things that never existed in our universe yet are ancient, plus floating mountains and ancient serpent-men!
• "Nazaria was a human empire with genetically engineered slaves" has been replaced with "Aeonians were all genetically engineered" which gives the "Caste-Spawn" as they are now called more of a sense of society and history than that of freed slaves.
• There are now two kinds of Cyberdroids: the good Ohnans and the evil Nilians.
• Aya are now split into the good/neutral spirit-like Aya and the evil demonic Vards. 
• Feral Xoogs are now Hordelings.

And to tide you over until I'm done, I'll be sharing some of the new artwork.
