What happened to D20 Masterkit?

[Man-thing]

Does anyone know what happened to this program. It seemed to start off strong, promising

"We'll be releasing a minimum of 40 pages of new material each and every month of 2005."

Admittedly I joined late:

May: Hot Pursuit: On Foot, Order of the Gilded Rose, 3 Horde Books (60-70+ page I think, didn't count, clearly exceeds sales pitch)
June: Dread Codex (108 pages of undead goodness)
July: 40 Alchemical Items (16 pages, a good 16 page but still 16)
August: ____________________________
Sept: too early to tell

Sorry! Two things: I had intended that 40 pages of new material to represent a monthly average, once the year had ended. I'm sorry that my wording wasn't clear. Right now, even with August being a wash, we're above average:

Jan: DREAMSCAPES (157 pages)
Feb: HOT PURSUIT (40 pages)
March: MIRACLES & WONDERS (25 pages)
April: no release (0 pages)

So, we're currently at an average of 52 pages or so.

Now....That said, the reason there was no release in April is because May, as you noted, had a lot of releases, and June featured a big release as well. The reason that there was no release in August was because we've got a bunch of D20 MasterKit products that have bottlenecked a bit, and will be released this month:

DREAD CODEX II: The Necromancer's Tome
GANGS OF FREEPORT
BLOOD OF FREEPORT

All three are big, all three are in layout right now, and all three are coming this month. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks for the quick response,

I was just wondering. Its nice to see that the Freeport books are part of the Masterkit line.

Yeah, I figured that since the city is intended to be dropped into existing campaigns...it fits our idea for D20 MasterKit.

We're actually doing those as officially licensed products, too. Green Ronin has been great to work with.

Are Dread Codex II & the two Freeport books going to be published this month? I was holding off on buying some Adamant stuff, on the theory that I'd buy 'em all at once.

Who do I need to bribe at Green Ronin to get the various Freeport PDF products at RPGNow approved as POD?
