Would be very intrigued to know which adventures you're considering expanding on - I know you batted around the idea of expanding the mi-go scenarios but it'd be interesting to hear more about.

I'd be very interested in reading any sort of post-mortem from your perspective on the project; it is, frankly, one of the most impressive examples of pure 'getting stuff out there' to a demanding schedule that I've seen from anyone in this space and it would be interesting to hear more about what that process was like and what worked, or didn't, in the process.

Maybe Birmingham, maybe Mississippi - I honestly don't know yet. Have to develop a process for expanding them before I can be sure. I like the Mississippi flood because I can imagine doing a map for it, and because it seems like incredibly low-hanging fruit for a Call of Cthulhu story that's somehow never been picked up. Ideally I'd be able to produce a whole run of sourcebooks, but that's a huge time commitment and I've got other stuff that needs to get done first.

As far as "the process" goes, I just became fixated on it for a while, read and synthesised a lot of books. I've wanted to do something like this for years, so I already had a lot of the core ideas sloshing around in my head. I think when I got started I didn't know exactly what form it was going to take - I had a huge file full of potential ideas that I'd accumulated over the years, and I tried a bunch of different structures before settling on the "hub city with eight adventures round it" model as the best way to cram everything in. Was only going to do three cities at first - I think I had them down as Berlin, New Orleans and Singapore - but it just kept growing on me.
