Announcing your products early is really a double edged sword. On the one hand, doing so allows you to "piss on the wall" and mark territory as yours. It also lets you start generating a buzz early (this is why we announced Mutants & Masterminds so far ahead of time). However, the downside of this strategy is that another company can bum rush you, and release a similar product before you in hopes of scooping your sales. The more lead time a project has, the more likely ithis is to happen. [And of course sometimes it happens anyway, by happenstance. We've kept our June release close to the vest, only to see another company announce something similar to it a couple of weeks back. Not to mention us and Paradigm announcing series of race books on the same day!] As Run DMC once said, it's tricky.As for Green Ronin, in late March the long awaited Freeport: The City of Adventure hardback hits the streets. 160 pages of piratey goodness, with a gorgeous poster map of the city to boot. This is the promise of Death in Freeport fulfilled and we're pretty damned excited about it.We are sending Armies of the Abyss to print tomorrow. It looks awesome and anyone who enjoyed Legions of Hell should definitely check it out. Demons, baby, demons!In April you'll see the first of our Master Class series, the Shaman's Handbook. This introduces a new core class, with all the bells and whistes that implies (new skills, feats, prestige classes, spells, magic items, and more!). Next MC book should be the Monster Slayer's Handbook by Steve "Runequest" Perrin.In May we've got Secret College of Necromancy, 96 pages of pure evil. Two new classes, blaspehmous tomes, foul spells, and necromantic history served up by Zeb Cook and Wolf Baur. In July we launch a new accessory. More on that in a few weeks.In August, to celebrate the last GenCon in Milwaukee, we're prepping a 320 page hardback. Yes, you heard me, 320 pages. And no, I can't tell you what it is just yet!Chris "the tease" PramasGreen Ronin Publishing<a href="http://www.greenronin.com" target="_blank">www.greenronin.com</a></blockquote>
