Guild Companion February 2010 (Issue 132)
« on: February 02, 2010, 08:08:54 AM »
Greetings from the Guild Companion

The February issue is now available at http://www.guildcompanion.com

A timeline for an eventful year in Shadow World, a fleshed out world setting for Spacemaster/Silent Death in the post-Imperium era, and an update on current GCP projects.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Good issue. Excellent words of the wise. I would definitely buy the full colour version(s) ... and the pdf one as it is really handy to have a searchable file.

I was a bit confused not to find anything on "Something wicked", was that on purpose or is there just no news as other things have taken the time that could have been used on it?

I'd buy the colour printed version myself - and I like the idea of the veritable gallery of beautiful illustrations. :P
Logo Rolemaster (Unified). Illustration of 2 Covers.
Logo Re-Vamp of Shadow World.
Illustration, Page Design & Layout of Shadow World Players Guide - The World.
Illustration of various other Shadow World products

Feel free to browse my gallery

 IIRC the difference in cost of $3.00 to $4.00 IMO is very small so I would consider a pure color run. But that is just me.

Good stuff all around.

I hope someone found my timeline compilation useful.  :D It got to the point where I was finding all that book-flipping to be quite tedious.

Good work on the timeline, although we do not use the more recent events in our campaigns, I like to be kept up to date. Thanks a lot, must have been a lot of work.

Dutch, I've been meaning to ask you - did you come across any info that was not in the Nomikos timeline?

Um, the stuff I created is marked with an asterisk.  I am assuming none of that is in the timeline.  (It's not canon, so I don't expect it will get added)

The other stuff came from SWMA4, Haalkitaine, and your website.  I am pretty sure all of that stuff is already on the website.  I used your website as a source to make sure I got everything in the right place.

What I meant was just whether or not you had come across any canon material that was missing.   Never know when omissions or errors might crop up.

No news on Something Wicked as I am focused on getting the other projects out of my locus of effort so that I can get back to it without delaying other team members from their work.

Haven't got the time to go through this months issue until now.
Found the editorial very inspiring  looking forward to Guild Adventurer 4 and upcoming projects.

I would buy the color or the B&W print editions though my preference is for the color version.
