So, my wife had a suggestion.
A five book omnibus.
I did the layout, but I found a problem. In order for it to be printable in hardback I'd have to go with Arial 9pt. Now, TTRPG books are done at that size, but that's pretty small. Eve...

Well, books 4 in the main series is up and live, book 5 is now at an editor. Trying to decide what to do for the cover and the name. It'll be chapters 162-211 (Might have to cut it down to 162-204 due to the sheer thickness issues for print.
Well, everyone, we made it. The end of 2021.
It's been stressful, but an absolute blast.
