Congratulations Ed!

I've been looking forward to this product since November. I've put it on my must have list and we be on the look out for it.

The art looks great,

Best wishes

Thank you! I'm sorry about the delay, but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

I just received the books yesterday myself and I have to say they look pretty great! The artwork is amazing, I think, and I hope people like it as much as I do because it cost mucho dinero.

Also, there are a couple of big announcements for OWP in the coming weeks, one involving a very well-known artist signing on to do some artwork for our next product, "World of Whitethorn 1C: The City of Calas". More on that later.

Here's a preview image from World of Whitethorn 1B: The Village of Oester posted on the OWP news page:

Glad you got it and like it! I think we're only getting better and better. Isn't the color on the cover just beautiful? Storn Cook did an excellent job with that.

Of course, you'll also see more amazing cartography by Clayton Bunce. He did a bunch of tower and town maps that look really great. And Eric Lofgren brings some very nice black and white pieces to the interior art.

The next book should be a must-have for anyone playing a fantasy RPG game: World of Whitethorn 1C: The City of Calas! It is expected to debut at Gen Con this year and will be the most complete city book ever published.

Don't miss out on the series! I think there are only a few hundred copies left of Oester now, actually.

Ah, some very exciting news indeed! The whole series is just great

I've been meaning to find out...how should I pronounce 'Oester'? Does it sound like O-Easter or Oyster? (Thanks in advance to anyone with the tip)

Once again, the series is excellent work! I think it will be looked back upon as classic.

Blinks Two little dots above the 'O'? Hum. This calls for whipping out me old Websters. Thanks for the reply.

I mean a sound similar to the 'o' in 'world' or the 'i' in 'girl' .
