Imagine an island where tradition wars against technology. The last of the samurai have nowhere to turn, and yakuza thugs and street fighters now hold the respect of the cities. Shangti Cowboys have showed the island the power of firearms, and Mechanists have proven the triumph of machine over superstition. But the old ways linger. Kabukika, warriors of the theater and users of magic, hold onto their traditions, as do the Nikobo, who find that as the land travels farther from its traditions, its spirits grow restless...

Will there be a print version down the line or ?

rick_hershey · Apr 23, 2008

Eventually, yes there will be a print version. Right now I have a larger publishing I'm talking with about a print edition, but if that doesn't pan out i might do a softcover version of the Player's book and GM's book in B&W and maybe a compilation of the 2 in color. But right now there are a lot of factors we are going over to say one way or the other.

So, yes a print version eventually, but what type or format, not sure yet.

Rick, are you or your publishers switching to 4E? SM is OGL and I'd have to decide if I want to purchase it when it's released in May or wait until there's a firesale at year's end when the d20 STL grace period expires.

Probably not, SM is going to be OGL 3.5, and I don't see ERSP switching at this point to 4th. Most likely, we will be focusing on visual aid products, system neutral products, and possibly other system support such as True20. We will however be dedicated to support for SM as long as there is an interest, we have lots of books planned with writers attached, along with a new website (with ton of surprises), a collection of short stories, and comics and webcomics. So, the material is going to be around for a good while and well supported as long as fans stick with us.

I started a Q&A covering some of the questions I've been getting from other forums and e-mails. Feel free to post and ask anything you want about the setting.

coolio.

you know, it's kinda funny. i only started playing DnD again a couple of years ago. though most of my dms pretty much stick with the core books, i always checked out 3rd party stuff, especially magic supps. when 4e was announced, a lot of sales began and i bought 3pp stuff like mad. i also began to look at pdf from such companies as well.

now with all the craziness swirling around 4e and gsl, i find myself checking out more 3pp stuff. my dms and players are currently happy with 3.x and, unless that changes (or 4e is the cat's meow), we'll be turning to companies like yourselves for our 3.x/OGL needs
