And (cross fingers) a reprint of Darwin's World 2 HC.
Alternate Realities Publications has too many manuscripts in development... At last tally, there were more than 200 of them kicking around on the office file server.
The next 20 issues of Big Bang Ricochet are 50% to 80% done. The series will continue focusing on vehicles suitable for special ops, as well as expanding the recently introduced "World War II" collection and introducing coverage of aircraft. We will be looking for a writer to handle warships, though the boss intends to handle smaller watercraft.
Big Bang Mini-Bang will have an additional 5 volumes done before the end of the year, focusing on: The H&K MP5 family (including the MP2000 and UMP), anti-tank weapons, NVA indigenous weapons, Soviet landmines, and underbarrel weapon systems.
Big Bang itself has two additional volumes that will be done by the end of the year. One will be focusing on Japanese small arms of WW2 and the other will revisit the Future Combat Arms program, revising material from Volume 3 and intorducing a wide range of new weapons.
Modern Kyuujinjouhoushi will have 3 to 5 new classes released. Recent rave reviews have prompted some writing of late.
Lost Destinations: He Who Haunts the Barrens, the third volume of the series, will be done in time for Halloween. It focuses on the Jersey Devil and his numerous stomping grounds within the state.
Two new series will be started.
First is Atomic Horror. This series focuses on the secrets of the cold war, particularly through the 1950's. Volume 1 focuses on the Nevada Test Site, where the US detonated nearly 1100 nuclear weapons between 1951 and 1992. This volume is about 60% done and it is absolutely incredible. Volume 2 will focus on Area 51 and the numerous aircraft, real and rumored, that are associated with the site. Volume 3 will focus on Dulce Base and Volume 4 will focus on NEST.
The second series is one that's been on the back burner for ages, Edge Road. This series focuses on the cutting age of various aspects of technology. The first issue will focus on flying platforms, followed by additional issues covering robotics, unmanned vehicles, prosthetics, and even an issue on the current attempts to build working mecha.
Big Bang will also be going to print in its annual format. A core fluff book will be published (nearly 600 pages long) with appendices produced for each supported game system.
Finally, a novel that was written more than 5 years ago will finally be published, once the illustrator turns in the chapter plates.
A few additional projects that have been in development for an epoch or two may be completed before the end of the year as well.

Well first off:
Iridium Lite - Taking the basics of the Iridium System and making a 10-12 page system. This will power our Complete Game Series.
Complete Game Series - This is essentially a complete game in 32-48 pages powered by Iridium Lite. It will include:
Future Skein : Think post apocalyptic but with AI and humans fighting each other with genetically enhanced soldiers, bio-weapons and fairly high tech. In the end, the humans lose, the AI are not in great shape either and society falls back into various stages of barbarism.
Supers Inc. : A treatment is produced for congenitive disorders and some limited number of diseases. The side effects are to unlock the psychic powers of the mind. With training, one of these meta-humans could use every power possible. This is more of a Super-Human than Super-Hero game.
In our Super Sized Adventure series:
Turris Lemurum : Just out, our first supplement for Roma Imperious. It is OGL and dual stat with d20. Think adventure to save a young boy in Roman North Africa…but with fantasy.
Austrian Holiday : Out next month, an adventure/source book for 1938 Shades of Earth. It is OGL and dual stat with d20 also. Think Nazi Zombie Super Soldiers and you have to save the girl's professor father who helped make them.
Circuses and Carnivals : Out August/Sept, technically a part of our Information Mine Series. It is OGL and dual stat with d20. Think fantasy source material for circuses and carnivals loaded with games, adventure seeds and classes.
More Information Mine Series:
Britannia : Out in Novemeber, our source book for Britannia in Roma Imperious. New classes, items, spells, foes and all sorts of game crunch. The cool part for me is all the research and extrapolation of the culture, personalities and organizations. Dragons have come to Britannia as well as the Sidhe. Both cause trouble and the Ordo have come into being to deal with the problems. Cool stuff and the cover is coming along really well. Think Romans never left Britannia.
Tern Planet Guide : Late 2005/early 2006, this will add to the Nebuleon source detailing the Gren held system of Tern, its planets and the cultures that have developed on each world. The Imperial governor is doing his best to maintain order while separatists try to drive a wedge between the Empire and the people of Tern. Think sci-fi imperial rift.

Well, now that the majority of The Brood has come back from the Gulf, we're back in action.
As many know, we finally released Year of the Zombie and an adventure for it (Independence Day Massacre) that takes place on Zero Hour.
We won't be making it to GenCon Indy this year, however we will be managing to get to GenCon SoCal now that many of us have moved to Southern Oregon (8 hours less driving time to get there)
We're finally up and running though. Here's what's coming down the pipe.
We've got stuff lined up for both Year of the Zombie (modules, sourcebooks and other fun stuff) and Nova Wars (campaign setting books, race books, the works).
In addition, we'll be firing back up the fantasy line and bringing back the online Shtar OGC project.
Busy busy, with 2006 seeing a lot more from us than 2005.

Argh, I forget one little thing and I get whacked with a clip board. Then again, what I forgot is the most evil thing amongst the manuscripts, even though it gets playtested about 10 hours a week.
Dice Warriors Dice Warriors is a quick, easy and rambunctious beer & pretzels game system. Originally designed as a free-for-all battle royale game, the system has since been expanded to include roleplaying elements and character advancement, making it the perfect game for those nights when inebriated birthday celebrations tend to get in the way. Dice Warriors will present two editions of the game, basic and advanced, in the same book, along with three campaign models to play with. The print edition will take the unusual turn of being landscape format with a lay-flat coil binding.

We at Nitehawk Interactive released our first 2 products on RPGNow.com last month -- the Adventurer's Handbook and a really short adventure Astray in the Woods. We are currently working on the Outcastia Campaign Setting, but we will be releasing a 22-page adventure In a Manor of Speaking within the next few weeks. Additionally, a short collection of cursed items which will add a great flavor to a campaign is set to be released within a week or so (perhaps as a freebie on our website: nitehawk.charsys.com)

Hello HinterWelt,
Thanks for chiming in here with your release information. You have some interesting products coming out that I'll be watching for.
Do you have a downloadable map for the Roma Imperious setting? I checked your site but couldn't find one there. Also, your Spring 2006 release called Atlantis Found, did this go by a different name before? The description sounds familiar but not the title.
