@adribbleofink Any pointers I should bear in mind? You certainly did an admirable job of keeping Sykes in line.

@adribbleofink Why, none other than the sleeping dragon @MarkCN himself. It’s a ways off yet though, closer to City of Ruin than now.

@adribbleofink Also now I need to get my grubby blogger’s paws on Sam Sykes’ debut. Just about the best recommendation there can be, right?
