Adept Press thoughts and projects for Sorcerer
Ron Edwards:
Hi John,
I'm working on them now, along with other things. If you're concerned about my ability to organize and remember all the stuff that's been discussed on the Forge, you shouldn't worry; I think I'm in pretty good shape for that. The "Endings" section is a top candidate, clearly.
One thing, though: I do not plan to stuff the book with every damned little thing ever discussed in this forum or related places. I am staying focused on the purpose of the core book, to explain how to play the game and to inspire its play for maximum enjoyment.
James, one thing that illustrates this point, and is relevant to your post, is that I do not agree that the material in Sorcerer & Sword is suitable for the core book, or if it is, only a little bit. I've come to realize over the years that for many reasons, my own Actual play posting among them, people have conceived of relationship maps (Soul) and certain Stance and scenario prep issues (Sword) as basic Sorcerer technique, and they aren't. Of all the ways to play Sorcerer, what I think of as the best and original-intention way has received the least attention, which is probably my fault.
One way to get to core-book purpose, then, is to bring that way of playing forward as strongly as I can.
Best, Ron

Hi Ron,
I'm not concerned, just very interested.

Now that's interesting. I'm one of those people. Now I'm trying to imagine what the original-intention way is, given that I've been using R-maps since I started with Sorcerer. Briefly, what differentiates/what are the hallmarks of the original-intention way of playing? Stupid question I know, given that the rulebooks are sitting right beside me; but since I read the core text and the first two supplements as one work in three volumes, I can no longer separate them in my mind.
Thanks,

Ron Edwards:
I figured that would be the next question, but as I was writing the post, I said, "That should be another thread one day." And since I'm about eight threads behind, and never mind all the work and publishing things I gotta do. So, um, let me get to it when I can.
Best, Ron
Per Fischer:
I'm one of those people too.

Paiku:
Ya, and as I posted the question I realized it's a bit off-topic for this thread, too.
No hurry. My present methods are working for me.
Thanks,
-John
