Thanks for the feedback :-)
I do plan to finnish Demons next year now, since I've been pre-
occupied with "The Journey Home", I have to say I'm a lot more
pleased with the way this is turning out than Demons. Maybe I'll
release them both together ;-)

Steve tells me that he's done more rooms to it and that he'll mail me
a copy soon, watch this space..
I had an excellent idea for a JSW game the other night.. I don't want
to give anything away but, it involves having "clusters" of rooms
like you mentioned in an earlier post, and it's going to be centered
around the Megatree.. I plan to start work on it early next year :-)
