I'm not following the project (don't have the $$$ to back it and I rather not torture myself) so I didn't knew about this.
Far East is an add? Or it is a project not connected to the KS?
Different universes.
At one point the shared the rule system (roll and keep), parent company (Alderac) and Wick worked on both game lines.
As an aside, it would be interesting to see what would happen if FF allows Wick to get the reins (and run a KS) for the next version of L5R.
I'm happy a new DG is coming out. I would have preferred for it to remain a supplement for CoC (more pages dedicated to story and fluff!) but at least they are staying in the BRP/RQ family instead of doing a d20 game or using an in-house system.
Call of Cthulhu 7e. Mouse Guard 2e. Crypt and Things 2e. Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea 2e. Force and Destiny. Mutant Chroniclea 3e. Infinity RPG. Dust RPG.
I mentioned this in the other thread: the first mention of the books was from a posting on FRPGames. I don't know from where the covers came from but I think it wasn't from WotC.
I don't know how FRPGAMES got hold of the books name so early but truth is until is officially announced it is...
