Sounds excellent.  Will the world mesh SM and RM?  Spells meet rifles and laser cannon?  Oh I would like that SO much.

I take it that its whats best descibed as medieval rather than something akin to the rennassiance?

Also I'm wondering if any thought has been given to offering a print version through something like Lulu.

If one were to nail it down to a real world year, 1250 would get you pretty close.  Although they DO have full plate armor.  The effect of the dwarves on the state of the art.  There will probably be a few other tech quirks like that.  The Church has them in a pretty good dark age, though.

We have considered print versions.  We'll need to see what the level of sales are like.  Right now we're looking at it as a down-the-road-when-the-customer-base-solidifies sort of thing.

Ice still wants to support SM, so I did this.  I don't think thet have any plans for an epic fantasy adventure series, so I'm trying to fit a nitch.  :)

I think any genre adventure series is a brilliant idea and I wish you all the best with you venture.

Cheers,
Rick.

As a player I'm just starting on the final part of the Enemy Within campaign in WHFRP, and I've wanted something of a similar scope for RM/HARP. Looks like my wishes may come true.

Keep an eye out for preview material.  ICE has to approve any material that attaches to their products so there is a delay on anything I write.  I've written the first piece and I'm sending it in a few minutes.  Hopefully you'll see it in less than two weeks and I intend to average about one a week after that.  (Stress the word averarge since there's an approval process.  Some might come quicker, some slower.)  Just a weekly preview to let you know a little about what we're thinking.  :)  I also intend to write a developer's journal so you'll get an inside glance into where we are and the foibles of starting a new e-publisher.  I hope you'll find that interesting, but I have to finish the playtest material for the third episode by Saturday and I've eaten completely into my safety buffer, so I have to finish that first.

Oh, I'm not sure that I'd QUITE call it appocalyptic (although there may very well be appocalytpic plots).   More just really dark (as in dark ages).  Just don't want to give you the wrong impression.  I'm shooting for a level of midiieval realism (plus magic of course) few games go for, so it can be very oppressive, if the GM wants.  Of course, its pretty easy to control the level of grimness in your own game sessions by the people you meet, so you shouldn't feel constrained by that, but that's the baseline I'm shooting for.

Looking forward to seeing this stuff.

If you find POD printing to messy to get into yourself, is there any way you could come to an arrangement with ICE for them to POD the stuff for you ??
