Great news Marc! This is seriously the best news I have heard in a while. The mod should go on ModDB with the other Co8 mods, if you don't mind me saying. That may sound like 'fanfare', but at this point, no, I don't think anyone is keeping close watch over there
It's pretty cool that a 20 year old game is still getting new content. And with you authoring it, I am confident it will be nothing short of amazing. Major kudos on persevering for so long - god knows it isn't easy.
Best of luck Marc! Unfortunately, I won't have time to beta test for you, but I hope you find some folks who can.
Although this could be easily misconstrued, I like the "soft fantasy feel" idea. I always liked more Tolkien/Lewis, less Lovecraft in my DnD. But just a matter of ratios.
