The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

[Darrin Drader]

Wow, that's a huge score for Expeditious Retreat. Congrats!

Are they named in such a way as to avoid issues when the official versions are released? From what I understand, having the same name as something but defining it entirely differently is a no-no.

We've addressed that.

Oh good... I was worried about that issue as well. So they should be able to safely stand side-by-side with the WotC classes.

Are you allowed to use the other power sources before WotC? After all, they're all mentioned in the PHB... Just wondering if you did...

Oh, and I'm keeping an eye out for preorders. I'll be all over it....

Thought everyone would be interested to know that Expeditious Retreat Press has executed a contract with the esteemed Mr. Marmell and we'll be bringing the Advanced Player's Guide to print. We're aiming for an October release. Ari's familiarity and experience with the rules system, along with his clean and evocative style will be an asset for anyone playing 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. We'd always wanted to work with Ari before, but the opportunity had never arisen, so we're excited to finally see an idea to fruition.

Exciting, and busy, times.

I'm not a big 4th edition guy (heck, I'm not even a little 4e guy), but that is some cool news. Sounds like a definite win-win situation. Congrats to you both.

Looks like I'm buying my first-ever Expeditious Retreat product. I wanna see what this hip Marmell ca...errr mouse can do.

As a big fan of XRP and Ari I am very glad to hear this.

I also agree Joe and Suzi are good people. When my daughter and I spoke with them at GenCon 06 I got HUGE "good people" vibes off of them.

Plus they do great gaming stuff, with their Silk Road and MMS: WE being my favorites.

Having been in a similar situation as Ari... I can also say they are definately "good people" as both friends and publishers

Sweetness! Does this mean more 4e from XRP, or is this a one shot deal?

Oooo.. I didn't even think of that.

XRP has already announced a 4th edition line.
