Wow, this is very cool. I'm a huge fan of historical themed books. What other areas do you have planned for this line?

 

[Krieg]

Any plans for print runs?

Hmmmm, a stat block for Hannibal, but not for BA, Face, or Murdoch...

 

[Vigilance]

Our plan is to slowly fill in the "minor" players of the ancient world in a series of small PDFs that will provide a mix of crunch, history and things to make the GM's life easier (like the 20 level mercenary NPC table and statblocks found in Carthage)...

On a print run... perhaps... when we reach a "critical mass" large enough to warrant it we'll visit this issue and look at the sales.

Would this include the Hurrians, the Elamites, and the Kingdom of Mitanni? Will they be restricted to a particular era and/or region, or will they range around the world and throughout time?

Update: A forum for the line at your site would be nice.

And a few suggested web enhancements for the Carthage book.

Numidians
Gauls
Iberians
The Hellenic Cities of Sicily and Italy.

And in personal desires...

The Blackheaded People: An Introduction to the Land of Sumer

A few of those are on my short list (namely the Gauls and Numidians)- for now Im attempting to stick to the world of the rise of the Roman empire...

What about the Sabines, the Etruscans, or the Cisalpine Gauls (among others)? I can see where, in time, you could collect enough information to do a sourcebook on the Roman Republic, from the establishment thereof to the civil wars of Marius and Sulla and the rise of Julius Caesar.

And since RPGnow has a minimum purchase requirement, and Carthage is only $2.25 U.S., do you have any recommendations for filling out an order?

You're right. It's done.

Your suggestions for new expansions are good. We plan to do a lot of these so keep them coming. We'll probably expand Carthage too based on some of the feedback we have got.

There's a lot of good small products to fill out orders on RPGNow these days, by RPGObjects and a slew of other companies.
