I was shocked to learn this when I looked it up just now, but Trevor Denman retired as the track announcer at Santa Anita a full 10 years ago. It shows my age, but I can't quite imagine the horse racing highlights on the news without his distinctive call, rendered in his equally distinctive gravelly voice and Australian accent: "And away they go...."

It comes to mind because we are, finally, close to ready to go to print with Lair of the Storm Giant and Path to the Storm Giant's Lair. I got the layout proofs this weekend, so now it's up to me to check them over. That means we're close. Proofreading has always been the most tiresome part of the process for me by a country mile, but it doesn't take long.

Therefore, I'm going to stop accepting pre-orders this weekend and finalize the print count so we can place our order. There are still a couple of backer surveys out there, but if you didn't want to order any add-ons and you didn't need to clarify whether you want the D&D version or the Pathfinder version, I suppose we'll get by.

I hope this finds all of you well and having had a good summer. We'll get this project wrapped up soon!
