[Exp. Ret. Press] My package from Dallas arrived!

[WizarDru]

Let me put it this way: in my game, one of the PCs is a minor noble, and currently is responsible for a large town, manor/keep and the local environs. Prior to this book, I've been winging it...now I don't have to.

I'd already stated the Brindinford's chief export and form of commerce was it's quarries, but I never had any idea how much money a limestone or granite quarry could generate, or how much the town would see of it. Again, now I do.

This is the kind of book I've always wanted: enough detail to let me fill in the holes, without the detail I don't want.

My fervent hope now is that ERP will work on more such books, if this one is received well enough.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is one of the best books I have bought. I got it on CD Rom, but if I had known they were in Dallas I might have just driven around shouting until I found them...

Seriously, this is one sweet text. I ran Nemorean's vault to start my campaign, but I allowed the party to find Amelia and get her back to "life" as it were. Technically they own the vault, but she still owns the manor. I had been cobbling together an idea for them to become part of the manor staff, but I was just going to wing it.

Now, I not only know who they need to run the place, but what my party members can do to support it. I know how much they should expect to make in these jobs and what their responsibilities will be.

It is a great book!

It's always nice to finish putting together a new gaming bookshelf (and to populate that bookshelf with happy books) just to come back and find out your book's being talked about.

Thanks for the praises guys,

so when's the next book out?

Sounds perfect. I know it sounds silly but eveytime I see a EN Gathering I think we should do a Philly area one.

Yes! I'm a Cherry Hill native myself, and live literally 5 minutes from ShoreCon's site, so I'm so there. It'd be cool to have a min-EN World gathering there; I could even give restaurant recommendations for the area and what not...

so when's the next book out?

Well, right now we're doing reading for four different projects.

1. A Magical Society Builder (lots of stuff about the physical process of world building and tying environment into the creation of cultures).
2. A Magical Classical Society: Imperium (like MMS:WE but instead of western feudal, western imperial)
3. A Magical Barbaric Society: Land, Sea, Horse (barbarians at the gates... where'd the hell they come from? and why?)
4. A Magical Medieval Society: India (land of spices, and great food!)

If all goes as planned that's about 4 years of Expeditious Retreat Products. We work slow, so you don't have too!
