   Sorry for asking this here; I didn't see an email address for you or an entry that addressed my question.

   Is there or will there be a table top rpg tie-in for your series?

   Reply @ James — no plans as yet, although I'd be very happy to see one (as the setting was an RPG setting waaaaay back in the day) — it's interesting that there have been a few book to game transitions recently — albeit relatively high profile ones — Song of Ice and Fire and Dresden Files spring to mind. It's worth noting that it would be a nightmare project for any game designer as I'd be all over it with suggestions and revisions.

   May I ask what game mechanic did you use for your Kinden RPG back in the days you actually played/GM it?

   Way back when, I was using a home grown system that owed a lot to Chaosium. Since then I did a partial adaptation for 3^rd edition D&D/Pathfinder

   I pictured the Savage Worlds ruleset as a perfect fit for the books.

   I have just finished reading Salute the Dark (I started reading your books about two weeks ago) and I'm waiting for polish version of your last book. I wish I started reading it earlier and noticed your visit in Wroclaw earlier because now I can only hope that you will visit us again :(.

   I bet that you are flooded by stuff similar to what I'm about to write but still I want to do it. I find your books most interesting and best of all that I have read in the last few years. I love world that you created.
   …
   I didn't knew how to write it so I'll just write it straight. Out of my 4 favourite characters 2 died in Salute the Dark (Acheos and Salme Dien). I really hope that neither Arianna nor Che dies in later books 🙁

   PS. When I was reading your books I often thought how would I implement particular arts or other stuff in RPG and how I would love to be able to play in a game placed in Shadows of The Apt world. While I'll be waiting for translated version of The Scarab Path I'll try making RPG mechanic that would suit your world. If I will succeed I'll try to show it to you somehow if you will be interested.
