Topic: Random Updates from Terry Amthor

Got GGI - will read after office hours...

[Terry K. Amthor]

Excellent news on the Gryphonburg release, Mr. Amthor, but here's a question for you and Nicholas: how close is the new edition of Eidolon from becoming available for purchase and PoD? I ask because if it is very soon, then it would be great to be able to save on shipping by getting it and Gryphonburg on the same order.

We are hoping for a May release on Eidolon.

The briefing says May. I expect that between now and then they'd like any errors in the PDF pointing out.

Yes, please.

It also takes several weeks to get print files through the OBS system - we upload, OBS checks them, Lightning Source checks them, I get permission to order proofs, proofs are printed, proofs are then physically mailed to myself and Terry.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Somewhat amusingly, the book is on the Hottest Titles list on RPGNow and hasn't yet appeared on the Newest Titles.

Okay, I managed to find it on the newest list - for March 28th, not April 1st. At a guess, setting a scheduled release for a supplement results in the site using the date it's scheduled as the date it's released - an argument against using scheduled releases if true.

That is interesting. I will raise that with OneBookShelf as that is unhelpful behaviour given that before the files are made public, only the publisher can see the product page.

And Green Gryphon has gone Copper on RPGNow!

[mistrornge]

The PDF looks great guys.  Can't wait for the hard cover.

[kyussopeth]

Oh and I'll buy the GG once it comes out in hard copy.

[Terry K. Amthor]

Just a note, a major milestone was just reached on the 2nd edition of Eidolon. 30,000+ words of all new material (that's more than all of Green Gryphon Inn!) fleshing out aspects of the city, timeline updates, new NPCs the players would encounter, and new adventures. Plus some new artwork and all-new full color layout.

We are indeed looking at a possible release in May!

[Terry K. Amthor]

With Green Gryphon out and Eidolon out of my hands at least for now, I find myself at creative loose ends. I do have RMU page layout, but what next for Shadow World? Emer II revision? New Wuliris Module? The looooong delayed Artifacts & Lost Tech?

[shanarakthefair]

my order:
1°) Artifacts & Lost Tech
2°) new Wuliris Module
3°) Emer II revision

why?
you have just published a campaign (new territory, GG)
next: eidolon (a revision)

so, a long time promise next: Artifacts & Lost Tech 

ps: in the william campaign, a lot of jinteni and worim aspect
in my campaign, a lot of althan tech, and taranian also 

[Mercenary30]

Both Wuliris and Lost Tech would be high on my list. 

I think there are a lot of older, less canon things to bring up to snuff then Emer II....

Green Gryphon was

Green Gryphon was   

I concur fully with this opinion.

Jaiman & Emer revisions would be next.

Then Thuul, Agyra or Gaalt modules next.

[Valkrist]

Yes to everything already mentioned, plus the Haalkitaine revision thrown in for good measure, and Emer IV. 

Basically, we need about ten Terrys working on SW. 

[fac]

I would vote Emer II mainly because with the new Eidolon we would need more flavor in the surrounding area.

But Artifacts is a must too.

[Atouk McMarrin]

If there's going to be a new poll on this, I'd also like to see a revised Jaiman--perhaps as a related and preliminary work up to Wuliris (plus the Ja'Miil Taarg).

An updated Eidolon would be nice and less involving than, say, a Kaitaine and hinterlands.

And I'll suggest that an Artifacts and Lost Tech include adventure hooks for recovering and implementing some of the described items, or even adventures in which the protagonists must prevent their adversaries from doing such.

With Green Gryphon complete and the Eidolon revision not far off it, what's probably going to be the next supplement to be completed?
