So people keep asking me about the NEXT project while I'm still working on this one. In a vain effort to figure out what the next one might be like, here's a preliminary poll. I know there are no titles or details on the options, but it might help me figure out how many people are really interested, and what they are interested in.

If you have considered signing up, but just don't care for the first project, I'd be especially interested in your comments.

I have a scrawled, jumbled list of topics that *I'd* certainly like to pursue, but I'll save those for a few months, just because I don't want to see a Mongoose competing publisher's project with a similar title appear in, oh, January.

Ok, back to my Secret Designer Lair, to hammer out some more of "Steam & Brass". Thanks for voting!
