Hi guys,
I am tapping away at this at the GAMA trade show on an unfamiliar laptop, so please excuse any typos.
The Quintessential series has been extraordinarily successful - we had an idea it may be good, but the response from you the gamers has been incredible. First off, let me say thank you to all of you who have so far supported the line.
Our US warehouse was cleared of The Quintessential Fighter in 3 weeks. To give you an idea, we normally print enough books to last 6 months of ordering! The first reprint of Fighter has already been completed and is already on its way to the distributors.
Rogue was even more amusing - despite us jacking up the print run beyond even Fighter, the distributors still cleared us out. In four days.
Clearly we are not printing enough
Cleric is being printed right now, as is the reprint of Rogue and both will be in the stores next month.
As for the future, Wizard (once again by Mike Mearls), Elf (Alejandro Melchor) and Dwarf (Sam Witt) are entering their final phases of production and will be released through May to July.
We had always intended to wait to see how the first four books did before giving the green light to further projects but it is pretty clear that players enjoy finding new things to do with their characters, and so a number of new books are already being commissioned. It would be nice if I could say that we will eventually cover all races and all classes but that will depend pretty much on you guys. However, Paladin, Bard, Gnomes, Psychic Warriors, Monks and a few more 'special' books are already in the works. I hope we will be able to release one per month for this year at least.
Once again, many thanks for supporting this line, and we are doing our best to make sure you can actually get hold of the books you are after.

. O and what'a after the Dwarf ? Are you going to delve back into the other classes ?
