I use RMSS, but I know RM2 well enough that if necessary, I can just convert on the fly.

Definitely looking forward to the new material!

Doing the final pass on Jaiman while awaiting a few last illos from Craig. I must admit I will be glad to see this out the door and move on to Haalkitaine, Emer IV, NE Jaiman, and revisions of Emer I and II.

I think you will be pleased with the new Haalkitaine edition. New layouts of the tombs and sewers under the city (you could have several play-sessions just down here... many treasures and perils), new adventures, other miscellaneous material like in the Eidolon 2nd edition... and new color art from an old friend.

I just looked on E-Bay for Haalkitaine.  I found a used version for $175 USD.

I may need to take out a personal loan to buy the new edition!

Please wait. The new edition will have a reasonable price and much more material.

BTW, I see one 'new' on Amazon for $594!  Oh gosh.

I wish I'd cleaned out the shop where I bought my copy of Haalkitaine from. They had three shrink-wrapped editions. Mind you, wishing I'd picked them up earlier applies for a lot of RPG supplements over the years!

I just got confirmation of my games from GenCon, so they should be posted soon! Also have flight and hotel confirmations. And I will be on the panel Thursday afternoon for Queer as a 3-sided die!

Terry, this is incredibly exciting. Best on the experience with GenCon. You are a major figure and icon in the industry! Maybe a great opportunity to grow Eidolon Studios?

Wow I have no Idea. I am so behind the times. I would love for the conference to be streamed, but that would be up to Steven Kenson.

I am still working on my games. Can anyone see them and sign up?

Nothing.  I searched for the specific titles as well as by time slot.

How large will the maps be in the new edition of Haalkitaine, Terry?

Just finished reading the Master Atlas V4. Last time I read the atlas was when I got the box set back around 91. Went through my SW books and discovered I have a mint condition copy of Haalkitaine and wondered briefly about selling it for absurd sums of money, but ended up putting it back on the shelf. My old ICE books are getting carried to the grave along with me. :D

So to reach back to the start of this thread, I would add in a vote for Thuul, Lost Tech sounds good, and even though I know it's not going to happen The Grand Campaign.

I really enjoyed reading the timeline, you've clearly put a lot of thought into this over the last few decades. There are some stories there I would really like to see fleshed out or expanded on. Ondoval's quest for the Shadowstone, and ultimate recovery of it, must be a tale in and of itself, and one worth telling. I'd like to know what the future holds for SW.

One thing that was mentioned was the possibility of doing a panel on the future of SW at Gencon. That's something worth doing even if that doesn't happen at Gencon. You could always use google hangouts or a similar platform to conduct that sort of panel at any time. Doesn't really need anything fancy either, it's kind of amazing what you can do with a simple laptop camera and microphone.

I'd second The Grand Campaign on that list.  Again, I know it's a long shot… but that document has tantalized me since the first time I saw Part I in Grey Worlds back in the day…

And I do kind of get why it will never happen. There is so much left to document about just the Western Hemisphere, and the Eastern Hemisphere is still completely undocumented.

I would like to know more about the East too. Given recent events it seems like it's time to learn more about it. I don't want to give any spoilers, consequently I am being pretty vague here, but a GM has a number of options now with regards to the east, and it's potentially a campaign setting depending on how things play out in a game.
