The breadth, complexity and comprehensiveness of the Xenopaedia never fails to impress me, nor does it fail to capture the imagination.
As I've said so often in the past, this is exactly the kind of far-reaching epic that I enjoy when it comes to Sci-Fi.
Details, world-building, and complex and consistant histories in particular make for truly enjoyable reading for me.
Half-way through, I was wondering how the hell these limbless creatures managed all this technology, only to have it believably (if a touch sketchily) answered. These are always a good read LM, thanks.

It shouldn't,
but I'm flattered nonetheless. Anyway, is all true, in my opinion at least.
Look forward as always to the eventually finished product.

I agree. Loremaster seems always to construct these unexpected, at first apparently mismatched, elements with a completely believable explanation. Everything ties together so neatly. One of the things I like about the Xenopedia is the unexpected - such as a race of huge worms having a heavily artistic and aesthetic culture. Very few writers would craft something like that.

I really don't know what to say. I'm wordless lol Seriously, that was the nicest compliment I have been given. Words don't suffice to thank you enough.

You earned the compliment, my friend
