Hi.First, please forgive the riend request, was a slip of the thumb on my iPad. Second. I m reading Penric’s Progress, and loving it all over again. I wonder though if you have been approached by any RPG publishers who want to make the world into game? I know SJ Games did GURPS Vorkosigan, and i hope that was mutually beneficial. W5G is such a wonderful and rich place, i feel like it would be fun to play in it.

Nothing significant other than GURPS so far.
My agent prefers to hold those rights in hopes of some larger media contract that would want them (none of which are on the horizon, I would note), so probably would disrecommend the tinier publishers.
Fans can, of course, make up their own RPGs for personal use -- that's normal fanac.

So, I'm a huge fan of your Vorkosigan series, and I can't wait for Gentleman Jole. That siad, one of the bits that intrigues me so much about the series are all the little asides and pieces of Barrayaran history. I know you've said your not interested in writing war stories, but would you ever consider writing something placed before or at the first contact with the galactic community after the Time of Isolation?

Reading the Vorkosigan Saga inspired me to pick up drawing after a 10-year hiatus and draw some fanart, of which there's a sad dearth. What fanart I saw puts the Barrayaran women in Victorian/Edwardian-style clothing, while I've always imagined them in 1930-early 1960s clothing (boleros, calf-length skirts, skirt and blouse combos). Am I right and did you have any other fashion inspo I should take into consideration?

I’m very happy with your work ethic, Lois. We get to experience a Penric story quite often, and very occasionally a Vorkosigan one. And a reread of your previous works is always a joy. Keep on doing what you do. When there’s another collection of Penric tales, I’ll get a signed copy from your local bookshop, as long as you’re still doing that? Regards from Melbourne, Oz, Peter
