Cover looks good.

Price and page count? POD Price?

Are these POD's the same type that EN World uses? I saw some of those at Gen Con and man, they are the same as regular printed products, or at least appear to be so to my untrained eye.

Joe, thanks for your questions and interest.

Price and page count?

That hasn't been decided yet. Once it's finished we'll have a definite page count and evaluate how we think it compares to the other works out there, and set a price. The artwork isn't finished so the product hasn't been completely formatted, but the text alone is 32 pages. Add in 15 illustrations and 15 tables (tables for career classes are roughly twice the size as those for prestige classes) and I would guestimate between 40-50 pages. Whether or not we have PODs will depend on electronic sales, so that's something that will be considered at a later date. This is a highly useful product for all gamers that can be constantly referred to, not looked at once and filed away, so we're hopeful that sales will be quite high. If we do go POD it will be through RPGNow.com (same as our Bane of the Salt Fen Lich POD---an excellent module with a unique twist), so if that's what EN World uses, it will be the same type.

Thanks Scorpio! Here is a small sample of the quality of art inside. This one is the "Aegis Sentinel" I did, a body guard class hired by Magic Users etc...

Great! I can't wait until this comes out. The preview artwork looks awesome and the setting appealing.

Oh no! But you'll have to wait, unfortunatley Chris (with big family-lots o' kids) has some college tests and papers to finish as he bounces betwixt reality and th Heathen Material. Its all done and jsut being put together now, so its release might see our 1 year anniversary date of October 30th for Heathen Oracle.

Thanks for your interest! Also come December Chris may release the beginning of his novel trilogy (all 3 already completed books), BUT I'm not going to jump the gun again, its exciting and I get ahead of myself.
