[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1742690, member: 1254"] 1. What are the 3.5 update plans for Tome of Horrors? PDF ala the Wizards update guide, or a new hardcover release? Tome of Horrors is HUGE! In fact, it was a big pricing mistake. We just flat out gave too much content for too little cover price. That means to redo it we'd have to raise the cover price significantly. Plus, updates dont usually do too well (I'll leave that for others to figure out why, but my guess is it is easy enough to port from 3.0 to 3.5 that it isnt worth buying a whole book). So our solution was to do it as a pdf that will be available on DTRPG. BUT, that said, the layout time will still be very time consuming for the percieved return for us. We are discussing internally whether or not we will commit the resources. If we dont, we will publish it online without art and in a more basic format. 2. Any updates on the Bard's Gate supplement? I dropped the city onto my campaign map a few years ago. I've pretty much fleshed it out by now, but I can always use the official city by another name. BG has been a long strange trip. I started it, turned it over to a group of writers. We had some drop outs, some other projects cut in front of it, some personal disasters, etc. In any event, it is being finalized as we speak. It wont be released until next year, though, given our current schedule is jam packed. There are some BG freebies on our site to help people tide themselves over until the book is released, including some of my personal notes and maps of the city and surrounding areas. 3. Why aren't you using the Orcus avatar? You know you want to... Cause I dont know how [embarassed] 4. Are there any more plans for adventures in the G series? By the same authors? Yes. With the G tag? Most likely no. G meant "Guest," meaning the book had an author outside of Necromancer Games (meaning Bill and I). It quickly became apparent that Bill and I couldnt remain primary authors and run the company. So the "G" tag has pretty much petered out. Originally, Bill and I conceived of us being primary authors on most books. Boy, that didnt turn out to work :) We just couldnt do it without our extended family of freelancers and friends. 5. Is there a projected release time (quarter or month) for the 3.5 updated Rappan Athuk? Now titled "Rappan Athuk Reloaded" by the way. :) I will have to double check the relase sheet but I believe RAReloaded is Q2 (though it might be March, which would be Q1). Clark [/QUOTE]
