First there was Yoon-Suin, and it was good
The Gods of the God River saw it, and saw it was good
The Yali of the forest danced when they saw it
The nasnas of Syr Darya saw it, and saw it was good
The dragons of the high mountains saw it and wondered
The oligarchs of the mountains saw it, and saw it was good
In the kingdoms the rakhosh saw it and knew they should not touch it
The mighty chu-srin saw it, and saw it was good
Then another Yoon-Suin came, and it was good
The readers of noisms' blog saw the pre-order store, and saw it was good
It has been a long time coming, but the print edition of Yoon-Suin 2nd edition is shortly to head off for printing and distribution. You can pre-order it here if you missed out on the Kickstarter.

User51 saw it and was pleased. The cryptic masters of magnetic strips fed on the digital dust and reported that the user had given tribute. Their name was thus inscribed in the Book of Locations, which the Ship Lords use to ferry thick tomes between lands. The Gnomes of Backerkit, with hoary bearded murmuring and scritching pens recorded it in their vast logs of transactions. User51 settled to wait and pondered the origin of weight and gravity, and whether the rakhosh were not right after all to fear the second edition?
