Glad you survived the fresh install/recover/reinstall ordeal. Never fun! Hope the Con was a blast, too (I think I and several of the guys in my group are going to do the Savage Worlds Cruise in January, which I'm looking forward to.)
I have to admit I forgot to even factor in doing the multiple Arcane Backgrounds. Glad you're making headway, but I can see that one being a LOT of work, and possibly a lot of little "gotchas" you'll have to catch on the way. Good luck with that.
With all of that being said... GET BACK TO WORK, SLACKER!
