    I have a file containing all the "Today In History" posts, plus a bunch 
of days that were missed due to my convention schedule. It also includes a 
generous portion of the best of the accompanying scenarios posted by the 
likes of Ghoull, Sean Mike, Pete Rogers, and perhaps others, plus some 
additional ones prepared by Ghoull and myself. At one point I was trying to 
pitch it as a big chronology and book of scenario nuggets -- about 2,600 
nuggets, to be precise -- to Pinnacle, but that hasn't worked out. So, 
whenever time and interest strike, I'll probably see if I can recruit someone 
to convert it into a PDF and give it away free on a website or something.
    In addition to the nuggets, the "DAYS O' TERROR" manuscript also contains 
a discussion of the Lincoln County War, an explanation for why the early 
history of Oregon seems to consist of nothing but shipwrecks and related 
maritime disasters, and an 1865-90 month-by-month list of full moons and 
eclipses in the American West. IOW, it's actually way too long to be 
published anyway -- it isn't even finished, and it's already longer than 
three standard PEG Deadlands supplements!

P.S.:  Before you start asking -- no, I'm not going to send anyone the file, 
or even bits and pieces thereof. That just turns into too much trouble and 
work. If I give it away, it will be in one grand hurrah, in a format everyone 
can easily read.
