I don't know if anyone else has already posted this, but the IKCG was shipped to the printer's on May 30th. I am happy. I've been looking forward to it for what seems like a year.
IKCG is at the printers!

The Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide. A long time ago Privateer Press released 3 adventures, a monster book called the Monsternomicon, and a short rulebook/character generation guide for a setting called the Iron Kingdoms. It's sort of a pulp/steam setting, and I like it a lot. It's rife with evil fey (huge plus) and what Privateer has given us so far is nice. They've been promising us the Campaign Guide for more than a year, but I don't know exactly how long. The Monsternomicon came out either just before or just after the release of 3.5. In a bit of related news, I heard on their boards that there's going to be a 3.5 update of the Monsternomicon.
Bah! You are the heretic!PJ-Mason said:Gasp!!!
Heretic!!
Do you not recognize Iron Kingdom material when you see it!!!
100 lashes with a wet noodle for you!!!
Don't you know that the faithful will not be fooled into thinking the books are out!
Indeed the first year was just annoucement.
The second year was the test of the faithful.
The third year we are in is the relevation!
There shall never be such a book, for it is truely only a metaphor for the perfect steampunk RPG that is not possible on this realm. Any sight of any publication will be banned, nah! burned!!! For it is said that each truely faithful one will get his true copy only from the hands of the Great Matt! Praise the great Matt.
Now excuse me, I have to play WarMachine. LOL!

I think you're confused. There's no big book out at all that could be abbreviated as TWG. In fact, the second of the setting books, the ones that's not yet finished with layout, could possibly have that acronym.Ibram said:

I'll be getting it. Hell yeah, I'll be getting it. Will I be using it right away? Depends on if it has things I can steal for my homebrew right away. Will I enjoy reading it, and probably chalk it up as one of my better little-used d20 books (like Midnight)? Quite likely.
I don't buy books because I have an immediate need to use them, or play the settings they have. I buy them because they are fun to read, they inspire my current (or future games) and they have other tidbits that are "grabable." You really can't play unfettered in an Iron Kingdoms game until the second setting book comes out anyway, unless you want to either stick to the Witchfire Trilogy or make stuff up. That's the one that supposedly has the most "soft" campaign elements.

My d20 purchasing has, over the past several months, decreased to nearly nothing. I realized that I have FAR too many books that I never use as is, and in fact I'm about to go through a mass culling that will leave me with little more than the 3 core books and a couple of other books that are too good not to keep. The Monsternomicon and the Character Primer are among those "too good to lose books". So, that being said, hell yes, I'm gonna get the Campaign Guide! I have been looking forward to this since they announced it in (I think) 1977. It will be mine...
