Re: Speaking of Nicole and the future of Chainmail Heh. Obviously Chris is handling it better than I am. :) What can I say, when I give my loyalty, I give it my all. This is the third strike for WotC with me, the first goes all the way back to the days when the were doing Ars Magica and...

I know *I* certainly am, especially these days. }:) What I wouldn't give to be an ass kicking commie dwarf, smashign the state with my big hammer right now. Instead, it's off to the GAMA Trade Show for me. At least the liquor flows freely there. Nicole

Is there an emoticon for weeping? So far the layoffs have officially axed two of the four WotC employees in my gaming group, people close to me and dear friends. "Here's your packet, today was your last day." They deserved better. :mad: I'm giving this a weepy, weepy bump in the hope...

D'oh! I should have been here to answer this... but I was in the chat room jabbering away with the regular suspects. Anyway, I'd just like to add that I talked to the bindery today and everything is going along as planned. No difficulties, no problems. Should have samples FedEx'd to us by...

Isn't that the truth? I've certainly witnessed it at WotC over the years! I think I'm officially to the point where more of my friends have been laid off than have kept their jobs there, if you count the layoffs between 1995 and 2001. I just hope they don't axe the guys with kids and houses...

Wizards employs thousands if you count the staff in the chain of retail stores. If you're talking about people working at the corporate office, you're talking about a staff of ~600, maybe. As for the rumored "bloat" and the idea that WotC had hired up a lot of people to push out 3E or handle...

First White Wolf announces a "The City of Freeport" book for their Everquest line, and now WotC's holding out the Big Axe of Laying Off over the heads of several of my very closest friends. It's only Tuesday and it's already been a hell of a week. :( Nicole (who dares not ask "What's next?")

Armies should be in stores in early April. It's printing now and I have no reason to think there will be any unforseen snafus to hold up the works. I had hoped to get samples in time to show them off at the GAMA Trade show, but I think we're going to miss that deadline by mere days. Nicole

LOL! But he beat me to the thread in the general forum, so I guess we're even. Sorry about the double posting, Morrus. You can go ahead and delete mine if you want to conserve the space. :) Nicole

Green Ronin has just posted a PDF preview of their long-awaited follow-up to Legions of Hell. Armies of the Abyss gives you the lowdown on over two dozen new demons and more than a score of demon princes, courtesy of Living Greyhawk Gazetteer author and Polyhedron editor Erik Mona. This...

Green Ronin's store currently runs on PayPal, though we're intending to expand it into a true credit card capable site eventually too (in our copious free time). ;) Seriously, though, we don't view our online "store" as anything more than a stop-gap for people who don't have a local store...

I just confirmed with Chris that we're going to be able to put up an Armies of the Abyss preview. Fingers crossed that I can get to it before we take off for the GAMA Trade Show on the 18th. (So much to do; I wonder how dead the publisher boards are going to be with people spending a week in...

Barring any snafus with the printer, they should be shipping to Osseum the last week of March, and to distribution as soon as we can thereafter. I, too, am looking forward to finally seeing this one in hand. It ended up being so packed with material that we were forced to print on the...

Re: Re: Re: Small mistake in the preview? Hee! Thanks for reminding me. Even we cranky old pros forget sometimes. ;) Well, no rest for the wicked. Back to toiling in the Green Ronin dungeon for me. Nicole

Re: Small mistake in the preview? Aw man, I post a spiffy preview of our book and the only comment I can pry out of you is you noticed the page number was off? :( ::sniff:: You guys are tough. Nicole

At the risk of dating myself: Remember kids, Reading is Fundamental! :) Nicole

Just a short note to say that we've posted a short PDF excerpt from the Freeport: City of Adventure hardback. The proofs were approved by our Production Director while Chris and I were at DunDraCon, and we're all waiting on pins and needles to see the whole thing in final form, hopefully in the...

Oh that's Classic! They don't call you Evil for nothin'. ;)
