Thought I'd pass on this little nugget I found about the New, Ultimate, Super-Revised, Altogether New and Different Release Date for Iron Kingdoms Campaign Book(s).

yeah, i was going to paste a link or a copy of the news and/or my post on the IK boards either in this thread or in general discussion, but as it turned out, i was too depressed by the delay to gather the energy beyond my initial venting of frustration.
obviously, i'm preaching to the converted on this, but it is so ridiculous that come the middle of 2004 there will still be no campaign guide for the iron kingdoms. i love the few products that PP has put out, but i do feel they have blown the whole setting guide situation in a major way. maybe it they didn't set their sights on compiling 700 pages of text to begin with, they could have released the CG six months ago and followed it with additional supplements. just really poor management and strategy.
once again, i know i'll be thrilled when [if?] i finally get the books in my hands, but this wait has moved beyond ridiculous, though it sure ain't sublime!
do you post over on the IK boards, simp?
by the by, don't we have our own little story going on at the moment? since i'm the new guy [and my character has already been a bit off-putting in his aloofness], i'm reluctant to push the play too much.

Oh I agree. 700+ pages does seems a bit extreme. It's probably a massive undertaking that keeps exploding in size. "Wouldn't it be cool if we add this? Oh, howabout this? This is too cool to leave out!"
If anything, this seems to me like the perfect example to create a crunchy book and then a multitude of splatbooks.
But it seems like the Privateer Press guys do this as a side job and probably don't have the same kind of time as larger companies like WOTC. It still amazes me how much churn WOTC can crank out. I flipped through the Draconomicon and was thoroughly disappointed.
But, at least we have this game to keep us occupied in the interim.
I think Gavyn fits in perfectly with our motley bunch. The verbal sparring is quite enjoyable.

To be honest, it doesn't really worry me. I never draw too heavily on campaign setting material in my games. I'm happy to wait another (-another-) five or sixth months for the books.
350 pages x2, eh? Hrm. Given that the Book of the Righteous, the largest game book I currently own is only 320... I'm gonna have to go buy some more shelves.
By the way, simp, did I ever mention that Glacier is a cool concept? All we need now is for the badguys to hold still for long enough to pummel on them.
