If this project were regarded as "a job", you need to notify you employeer / partner(s) (in this case, Tavis). If this is regarded as a "hobby", it might be considered polite to let someone know what is going on, but it certainly wouldn't be required.<br /><br />Some folks see James having taken payment for a project as having a "job". Others see it as James getting paid to "do his hobby thing".<br /><br />It's that whole professional / hobbyist line that RPG creator types straddle all the time.Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-46471768131942863012013-01-18T08:16:38.554-05:002013-01-18T08:16:38.554-05:00Seriously?

I've lost both my parents and even though my mother was "whacked on pain medication" as well I would have given anything for just a few more minutes with her (My father was sudden and unexpected.)BlUsKrEEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-10305861127756457292013-01-17T19:42:01.683-05:002013-01-17T19:42:01.683-05:00I wouldn't expect anyone to be very productive...I wouldn't expect anyone to be very productive when they have a beloved family member on their deathbed, nor in the immediate aftermath. However, when people suggest that spending a few minutes once or twice a month to stay in touch with backers is not too much to ask, I have a hard time disagreeing.<br /><br />At any rate, I just hope that James is able to re-engage creatively once this difficult time for him has passed.maasenstodthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901306527875471546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-22338242174255652042013-01-17T18:28:52.484-05:002013-01-17T18:28:52.484-05:00I don't mean to be a jerk, but this is a fact ...I don't mean to be a jerk, but this is a fact of life for middle aged people. Parents and friends dying and having to cope with it. I'm sorry, but it's not so much of a traumatic experience that you can't take a few minutes to post a mention of it on your blog, but rely on some third party. <br /><br />Or for that matter, it's not that you have to stop your life and chain yourself to the dying person's bedside. When my own mother died of cancer a few years ago, she was whacked out on pain medication so much the last month she was out of it most of the time.<br /><br />This sounds like just an excuse, and now I'm pretty much convinced we are never going to see Dwimmermount. At least we got the manuscript, so I can't see PDF only people being too upset, but....Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440605975564288373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-62925127615787544072013-01-17T10:49:10.076-05:002013-01-17T10:49:10.076-05:00Just to provide a little more context, "my fr...Just to provide a little more context, "my friend Phil" refers to Prof. M.A.R.
