Con goers -- speak of thy booty! (Briefly)

[TroyXavier]

I could always visit my friends in Fort Wayne and take a look.

that craft punch I picked up from Alea Tools is a joy, I have punched/demolished a number of the useless CCG cards that I got in the con bag. Perfect for taking out your frustrations ...

I saw those last year, got home, and spent 3 weeks trying to locate one at every craft store with 30 miles. Found lots of them with funky shapes (stars, swirls, etc) but no circles, and then Michaels Crafts not 5 minutes from me got a new shipment and I picked up a 1" and a 2" punch, and went to work on tons of old CCGs and other stuff making counters.

Oh I get it now! My wife's got a set of these things for her scrapbooking. That's a very clever use for them!

Ed Greenwood's Castlemorn should be ready to go to the printer sometime in September. It is in final edit and then we want to let the playtesters take a quick look before layout. (If you'd like to have a say and have your name with the playtester credits in this book, now would be the time to sign up.) After that, it is going to be printed overseas since it will be full color, so expect it to be back in the states around late November/early December at the soonest.

I'm really proud of how this book is shaping up, especially the artwork. Gareth Verleyen has done some breathtaking digital landscape renders and Bruce Colero has created images that practically breathe on their own. It's a totally cool book. Previews will be going up after it has been sent to the printer.

This is one of the books I've been looking forward to for a while.

Can you start a thead talking about the basic premisis, size, planned support, any online support, price, PDF availability,fiction support, etc...?

When the time is right, there will be a lot of stuff to talk about regarding Castlemorn and a thread where many questions are answered. For right now, even I have to wait.

I might work a shift next year, just that I cannot do it alone for obvious reasons

I was thinking the same thing romp, we'll have to touch base as GenCon 06 gets closer, and maybe we can team up.

Did anyone see the Dark Legacies campaign setting? I wasn't there long enough to look over the whole con, but that was one item I was looking forward to seeing.

Not to toot my own horn, but I finally received my personal copies of the Campaign Guide today (big snafu, long story) and I can say with easy conviction that this is one of the hottest looking books on the market right now. The new printer did an amazing job and all of the artwork, design elements, and typesetting look beautiful. A big thanks to everyone involved. It's been a long and hard road.

Joe, you and Crothian should have your review copies shortly.

The Players' Guide is on of those books I am kicking myself for missing at GenCon, I browsed the booth a few times and even shook hands with Ghostwind (gently because of his wrist ) but totally missed this one, I read a little about it in the Signs and Portents issues where they start a campaign in it. Sounds like something I would be interested in, I would have temporarily suspended my self imposed ban on setting books to get it.
