And IMO – with Nantucket being just off the North American continent – given a three-book series, it would have been almost criminal for nothing to be revealed / discovered about what things were like circa 1250 BC, further inland in North America.

I just read today that there’s an Emberverse RPG being released. [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Dalles-Changeverse-S-M-Stirling/dp/1934153478) seems to be saying it’s been released but the company website seems to be saying it’s still in development.
