Its interesting that these products both take different whacks at the supplement field. One a huge manual, the other, fairly inexpensive and useful. Both going up against offical products, with the latter having a ton of PDF competition in addition.

Looking forward to seeing these.

I think that the advantage is in the above comments. Both KoK and Hackmaster have devoted followings, plus Gear and Map junkies will probably buy by default. I think they'll do well, but I think Gear will do better.

After waiting for .... almost two years(?!), the book formerly known as the World's Most Complete Arms & Equipment Guide is IN MY HANDS! It was OH SO worth the wait! I skimmed it, and I'm very impressed. My only minor gripe is WAY too many "flavor weapons" (I don't play KOK) and not enough pictures of said weapons to distinguish them. Other than that... MM....

That happened with Rolemaster and a few of its specialist weapons. Anyone ever get a picture of the dreaded Irgak which caused two critical hits per blow?

There's a picture of the Irgaak in the Shadow World Atlas, I believe. Nothing to explain why it gets two crits though.

Yeah, I'd need a huge art budget to illustrate nearly 700 weapons. Fortunately, the book provides details on weapon parts (such as types of hilts) and such that should allow you to visualize any weapon that's not illustrated. I also tried to have the most unusual ones illustrated, to make it easier.

I've been waiting for Goods & Gear (in one form or another) for quite awhile, but my FLGS doesn't have it yet. Out of curiosity, what percentage of the weapons are illustrated?

At a guess, I'd say about 200 of the nearly 700 weapons are illustrated, along with half a dozen weapon-related illustrations (types of hilts, scabbards, blade parts, crossbow sections, etc).
