[QUOTE="GMSkarka, post: 2014139, member: 763"] Quick factual correction: Adamant did design SKULL & BONES, but we didn't "cancel it due to a lack of pre-orders", nor did the manuscript "sit for a while." We decided just before the manuscript was finished that given the way in which the D20 market was changing, that the product would have a better chance at success if it was released by an established D20 publisher, rather than coming out as the premiere release of a new publisher. Green Ronin was interested, and we came to an agreement. SKULL & BONES was announced by Green Ronin as a forthcoming product at their retailer's breakfast presentation at the GAMA Trade Show in March of 2002. It wasn't until they announced TESTAMENT some months later that they decided that it would be part of an entire line of historical supplements, called "Mythic Vista." (Originally, in fact, it was to be the first release in the line, but various delays in completion (including going through the entire manuscript to ensure 3.5 compatability) resulted in it being pushed back.) Other than those minor factual errors, great review! Thanks! GMS [/QUOTE]
