Well, I've continued on with my original quest and I think I might actually make it under the 3500 word limit for the contest. I'm at 1820 and just finished the first phase. Fortunately it's the longest and most complicated of all of them. With luck, the rest won't be nearly as tricky.

For comparison, here's some relative word counts:

Module	Word Count
Shadowlords 1	10,676
Dreamcatcher 1	20,278
Demon	90,585
Dark Waters 1	41,597
Dark Waters 2	24,496

As you can see, my first works started relatively small and grew over time. Demon nearly killed me with the amount of writing. With this new campaign, I appear to be leaning towards "large", with the second module already as big as the first in the Dreamcatcher campaign.

I did run across some silly bugs along the way. The strangest was when I was scripting a particular NPC to leave the holding area, but he refused to do it. I eventually grew frustrated and teleported myself into the area. It turns out he was busy trying to kill another NPC and couldn't be bothered with my silly little scripting commands. I fixed everyone's faction and it started working fine again.

The new voice actors are a treat to listen to. We have one woman in particular who was doing a little girl's voice from the Pirate Cards area. When she talked about "I really like the grog swilling and the wenching that they do," it nearly made me spray my drink out my nose.

I think I'm going to have a new interview over at the Vault. The combined Shadowlords, Dreamcatcher, and Demon compilation appears to be ranked #1, which is a treat. People like epic campaigns, it appears.
