I'm in, so what's the plan?  One page online a day, a week, a month?  A printed book? A download?

Good question Mr Moose  :D

The plan is to release one part per week and there are currently planned to be thirteen parts. We expect that for one reason or another we might miss a week here and there, but it should all be wrapped up by the end of September.

Then we will release a complete copy on the blog, including artwork, cover, frontispiece etc.

If there is any call for it we may get a few copies printed and sell them. The funds so created going towards our main project - Daishō.

We feel that it is important that we continue to support IHMN with original material even though our former publisher does not at this time.

You shall also be seeing articles in various wargames periodicals during the year.

Would you appreciate me sending you some content/suggestions, as this direction is where I've been aiming my IHMN setting all along  :)

Sort of falls between a Gothic:1889 setting and Neil Gaiman's 'A Study in Emerald'.

Be happy to send and share....

I'm always happy to read players original ideas, as long as they understand that we may well use none of it ;)

I'll take a printed copy.

My gaming room is awash with printed downloads which get forgotten or just never read, my computer full of unprinted downloads - scenarios, buildings, rule books etc, some of which I even paid for.  Getting anything bound to a reasonable standard is too expensive and far too much effort.

I'm very much a hard copy book guy.   :D

I'd vote for a printed copy. I became so fond of my printer's idiosyncrasies that I used it as football some time ago.

PART 3
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Gather close to the fire for I would tell you a tale of a curse that fell upon an ancient monastery that doomed its devout inhabitants for eternity. Yet they chose this fate lest a worse one afflict all of Europe. Also let us speak of the heroes of the Empire, one of the few bands of men courageous enough to take the fight back to the beasts of the forests and mountains of Carpathia and Transylvania.

You can find their stories here: http://inhermajestysname.wordpress.com/2014/05/31/ihmn-gothic-iii/

Hi Craig
Just thought I'd let you know that you have posted part 3 as a docx file whereas the previous parts were pdf. Nearly everybody has access to pdf converter now but it could be a problem for tablet users.
