Just wanted folks here on the EN World boards to know that there has been an update on the Privateer Press boards from founder Matt Wilson. Because of exponential growth in the size of the long-long-long-awaited Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide, the book will be split into two volumes, each 300+ pages long.
Volume 1 is tentatively called the "Character Guide" and will include mostly crunchy bits on new base classes, prestige classes, magic items, new spells and aything else which relates to the d20 system. It's been stated that this volume is already 99% written and is in the editing stage.
Volume 2, currently named the "World Guide" will contain predominantly fluff on the campaign setting, including tons on countries, races, history, religion, you name it.
Here's the bad news. Projected release date for the "Character Guide" is April 2004, with the "World Guide" following 60 days afterwards. This has come as a dissapointment to some fans (including this one) as we've been waiting for a long time, and the folks at PP had said a few months ago that the IKCG would be out by Xmas. *sigh*
On the other hand, fans of the setting will now get close to 700 pages worth of material, instead of 300-350! Now that's something worth waiting for.
For the complete scoop, you can check out the Privateer Press boards.
