The Immortals Handbook

[CRGreathouse]

Does anyone feel like setting up a betting pool on the dates? We have:
* Beastiary, part I
* Beastiary, finished
* Apotheosis

I'll throw in a +2 halberd with a very minor curse and some prime Westron real estate* for whoever's closest!

* Currently occupied by hobgoblin raiders

Well, considering that this is a 70+ page thread with nothing but people wanting to know when the product will be released, I'd even dare to say that the production has grown stagnant with revisions and tweeks and whathaveyou and might never see the light of day... but that's the pessimist in me. I'd say by February... 16th we'll see the Bestiary 0.5 in all it's unfinished glory.

 

[Verequus]

Actually, I believe, Bestiary 0.5 will be out as late as this very sunday - as long UK doesn't die or lands in the hospital or the apocalypse comes or something like that.

You say that, but I don't see a minor magical item backing up your words.

Beastiary 0.5:
2005-01-16: Rulemaster (January 16th)
2005-02-16: Baronovan (February 16th)

Current prizes: +2 halberd (ages wielder 1d4 hours whenever used), land overrun by hobgoblins (80 rods by 10 furlongs, comes with indentured laborers)

I think 0.5 will come in within the next two weeks. Since we're doing a "closest date" thing, I'll go one day past Rulemaster, for a January 17th.

For the full bestiary? Basing this on the time taken to go halfway since September when he started it in earnest... four and a half months would be a realistic bet, though it makes me cry. May 31.

Apothesis is to far out yet to speculate on, more's the pity.

I'll throw a Greatsword of Great Cleave into the pot. (Great cleave is a little over enthusiastic in this case... if there are no other valid targets to hit after you fell your target, you're going to hit either a friend or yourself)

 

[Anabstercorian]

For Beastiary 0.5, I'll go with the 18th.

For the full Beastiary, Summer 2005.

I'll put a Hewards Handy Haversack filled entirely with walnuts in the pile.

 

[CRGreathouse]

I've added my guesses (and a prize), as well as updating.

Beastiary 0.5:
2005-01-16: Rulemaster (January 16th)
2005-01-17: Fieari (January 17th)
2005-01-18: Anabstercorian (January 18th)
2005-01-31: CRGreathouse (January 31st)
2005-02-16: Baronovan (February 16th)

Current prizes: +2 halberd (ages wielder 1d4 hours per strike), land from the far West (also claimed by hobgoblin soldiers)

Beastiary (PDF):
2005-05-31: Fieari (May 31st)
2005-07-01: Anabstercorian ("summer 2005")
2005-08-15: CRGreathouse (August 15th)

Current prizes: Greatsword of great cleaving with a propensity for counterproductive bloodshed, Hewards handy haversack with a full complement of walnuts, slightly-used horn of fog (isn't that cursed enough already?)

[Anabstercorian]

This is such a depressing game.

 

[Kalanyr]

I'm going to be optimistic and take Beastiary (PDF) for March 1st.

I'll throw a deck of many things into the pot, (and its only missing half the beneficial cards).

 

[Baronovan]

Okay, put me down for Full Bestiary March 20th, Apotheosis (any of it) Fall '05 (round-about November 10th) and nothing else until '06.
