We're listening.
Personally, and judging from what I'm hearing here, I think FantasyCraft will prove to be a bridge product for some groups, while addressing the single most requested addition to the Spycraft catalogue. Some may find it to be the replacement for 3.5, some may prefer to wait for 4e and choose - NBD, it was going to happen either way. The timing may indeed be odd - but then, none of us work at WotC and so had no idea about the 4e announcement (an inkling, sure, but no solid info). Life goes on, and no one gripes when given more options at the game store
Also of note is that FantasyCraft is an additional product to the schedule, and should not be pushing out other books on the schedule. We have taken many steps toward rectifying production issues; including recently adding a new partner to the company - Steve Hough, a 10 year vet of the industry whose primary job will be handling our biggest bottleneck (layout, graphic design and printing) - and have broadened our freelancer base to improve our production capacity. Now that Mongoose's presses are finally up and running at full steam, the flow of books can begin. There have been 2 in the can with the 'goose for months now, and it was just a process of getting the books and the printer to align properly. So...I daresay, the next 7 months should be an interesting and hopefully exciting time for everyone interested in our products.
