Their website sure seems to be due for an update of some kind, especially considering that they actually seem to want an online presence (if their ENWorld ads are any indication). I like everything I've seen from them so far. Sure would be nice to see some Grim Tales news posted. If only they were as prolific as Mongoose...

Howdy!
You cannot imagine how busy Wulf is these days! Believe me when I say he is cranking as fast as possible. Grim Tales kicks major booty and is going to be totally worth the wait. I have run a few sessions with the rules and it is exactly what the doctor ordered for Grim and Gritty!
I'm sure the website will be updated as we get closer to getting the actual product out.

Any idea when Grim Tales will be ready?
It's been listed as a Jan release for quite some time, any chance it will still ship before the end of the month?
With Grimm, OGL Horror & Conan (not to mention Cthulhu Dark Age) all hitting the shelves along with Grim Tales it will be a very Dark late winter for my players. heheheh

Thanks for the heads up, pogre and CMG Mark!
I am always here to answer questions, but it is easier to get my attention in either the Publishers forum (best bet) or the d20 System Games forum (second best). The StN ratio in the General forum is just too hard for me to keep track of. But I will subscribe to this thread and answer any questions that appear here, no matter where this thread may go.
Due to some personal tragedies on the Bad Axe team, things have been a bit behind schedule and left me scrambling for additional help lately. It seems things are finally starting to smooth out again and we're working to clear a backlog of delayed titles.
Next out will be THE BOOK OF UNUSUAL TREASURES which I hope to get off to the printer before the end of this week. If you know Phil Reed's stuff (and you really should) you'll enjoy this compilation of some of his best stuff. I tried to keep my editorial hand light, but among my contributions was to correct the values of the spellbooks to 3.5, and added a complete item listing by gold piece value at the end of the book to make it super easy to drop any of these treasures into a hoard in place of an equivalent amount of gold, gems, or art.
After that, it's time for GRIM TALES. On the bright side, the longer this book has been delayed, the more I have been able to improve and add to it (including keeping our great freelance artists and writers cranking). The book size has been increased from 192 pages to at least 216; any increase beyond that and I'd have to increase the cover price, so I have some hard decisions ahead of me. Some of the material will find its way into SLAVELORDS OF CYDONIA, the first Grim Tales "adventure sourcebook" due out this spring. I would love to answer any specific questions about Grim Tales, so if you have 'em, pop 'em.
As always, the website gets updated when we have something new and significant to say. For the little tidbits, seek me out either here or on the Bad Axe forums and I'll be happy to give you a quick update.
Thanks for your interest!

Same situation it has really been all along-- it will have to stay a respectable distance behind Gnomes before we can publish it. So, it will be next year some time.
The advent of 3.5 makes the Anthology a little more work than I had anticipated. I'll want to update everything to 3.5, which in some cases means entirely new design work (frex, Specialist Wizards).

Ooof. Lordy, it's been a while since I compiled it, and in most cases Phil was providing me info from his own notes.
Lessee...
101 Spellbooks (mundane books, special books, spellbooks)
101 Arcane Spell Components
101 Mundane Treasures (weapons, armor, clothing, jewelry)
There's also a lot of new arcane spells (though I think they were part of Spellbooks), and a bunch of new Feats, Poisons, Skills, Unusual Materials...
It's a good mix, 96 pages, standard 8.5 x 11 size, $13.95.
