However if I said that this would be next after Amber, I was mistaken, since will feature a sim gameplay and I have no clue how long that will take since it's something new for me!

About the Dingirra game: A lot of things I wanted to know about, maybe they could be explained in that?

Ex.: The 4 Families, and how they came to be at war.

There's a nice backstory written by SOTW original writer (not Forsaken) explaining exactly that, the origins of the four families. I cannot say more since it's a big spoiler for the upcoming game though!

I thought that a SOTW writer is the one writing Dingirra game, was there a change of plans or did I misunderstood something?

Also do you mind saying who the SOTW writer is?

Originally yes then we changed plans (was my decision though). Reason:private. We're still in good relationship, and if he wants to write another game for me, he's welcome
SOTW writer is using the nick "Taleweaver".

That's a shame I really looked forward to reading more from him since I loved SOTW writing and story so much, I hope he decides to come back to writing more games.

Yes it's definitely possible (if he's available) that he'll write more stories for me

I actually enjoyed the SOTW storyline.

I'm also looking forward to seeing more of the Thieves of Dingirra game too. Has a great deal of Arabian Nights, Persian, and Middle Eastern influences in it, namely the genies. I'm guessing we'll meet Djinns (air genies), Efreet (fire genies; Efreeti is singular), um...Well, I'm going by my Pathfinder references on this part: Marids (water genies), and Shaitains (earth genies) in the games. There are also the Janni (singular: Jann), who are genies made up of all four elements. The Efreet are known in many RPGs (especially D&D and Pathfinder) to be often evil and power hungry. So seeing what they look like in your games will be neat and interesting.

Haha actually, while the setting could allow such encounters, I don't think you'll see any of those. Once I make the official announcement including the kind of gameplay you'll understand

Which will be when? (NOT MEANT AS A RUSH THING; simply Curious)

SOTW has been my fave of both your RPGs and games taking place is Aravorn thus far and second only to Roommates (b/c of the comedy; DYIN to see more like that!!!!! ) overall, and so I'm on the edge o' my seat waitin to hear more about this Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!

...I realize that sounds like a rush-type thing, but I swear such was NOT my intention.
