Project Priority Restructuring After HoBLotH IV




May 23rd, 2017
HoBLotH IV will be the last HoBLotH until after the cookbook is completed.

With a full time job and hefty commute, it is simply not possible for me to have more than a single project at a time and expect to make any substantial progress. Because of this, the cookbook is on hold until after HoBLotH IV as mentioned previously. However, once HoLBotH IV is finished, the cookbook will become the main priority until it is finished. This means that HoBLotH V will not happen for at least a year if not two or three.

The cookbook has been my dream since 2004 when I first came up with the idea. Since then, every IP has come out with an official and unofficial companion cookbook and it's not even a novel idea anymore. Regardless, I desperately want to finish the cookbook so it can both be in your hands as well as allow me to have cemented my place in the history of Ultima. Additionally, I feel that the value I provide for my Patreon backers is best provided through cooking/crafting exploits and not through event planning.

Even though HoBLotH events will be on hold until after the book is finished, I will continue to have smaller, more intimate events such as dinners to beta test recipes and the like. Additionally, I will continue to formalize and codify the HoBLotH rules into HoBLARP so you can continue your live action adventures in Britannia and organize your own events in the meantime.

Because there will not be another HoBLotH for at least a year, if not three, it virtually guarantees that HoBLotH IV will be the last Hearth of Britannia event held at Richard Garriott's Austin, TX property of Castleton. I can assure you that if you miss it, you will forever regret it.

If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me.



Forever at thy service,
Rustic Dragon
