Info update: Caught a Critical Hit by the Covid-19 Canon — some delays, and recovery
Dear Friends and Supporters,Here is a quick update, so everyone is in the loop: I caught a COVID-19 Infection, and I am kicked off the rails for a little while now.

I was still hoping to be able to finish the next vonBiomes iterations with all the new hand-crafted tiles for the agricultural fields still before Christmas. But since that is just a little more than a week ahead, that is now a lit...
