Hey! I'm still working away on the novel, but I just noticed a sale I thought I'd point out. Paizo is selling off a lot of Atlas Games' d20 sourcebooks, including a few I wrote or worked on (Crime&Punishment, Seven Civilizations, Touched By The Gods, En Route III, and a tiny bit in the Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary). While these are 3E/3.5E products, there's still strong ideas in them... in particular, I think Crime&Punishment has good general ideas that could be adapted to any system.

Anyhow, the sale is at http://paizo.com/store/sale/atlasD20Clearance
