World's Largest City [Merged]

[Ghost2020]

The AEG website does mention the WLD, it's under the d20 tab.

Otherwise that site is updated very rarely. As a tool to reach out to the fans, it's very under utilized.

I do recall them having some staffing issues though.

I'm sorry, but, could this possibly be something like the Anti-Ptolus?

C'mon, they pimped Ptolus for all it was worth and then some.

This thing comes out on little kitty feet.

Be interesting to see if it actually does well or not.

Whether it is "Anti-Ptolus" or not, you should at least mention that you have released the product on your website. There is a little bit of a difference between over the top pimping and letting people know that the product actually exists.

there are now two threads going about this that i know of

i have no contention with answering questions about this product, but which thread should we be posting to?

Well there ARE two big WLD threads.

These WLC threads only have about 3,600 posts to go before they catch up the WLD ones.

I think WLC will be the anti-Ptolus based purely on how many people were involved in its creation (a lot) versus Ptolus (one primary author). If you don't like Monte's vision, you're kind of out of luck on Ptolus, whereas with the WLC, there's not likely to be the same consistent tone and interconnection between areas, for better or worse.

WLC is probably going to have a lot of good modular bits that can be ripped out and put into Ptolus, in case there's anyone who feels Ptolus offered too little.

I'll probably end up buying it although I'm in no rush given the rather extensive reading pile I have to go through first.

As far as the lack of hype, I've noticed the same thing from AEG since the release of SpyCraft 2.0. I don't understand it myself but maybe they believe that word of mouth is enough to sell it. God know's I'm tired of game companies pushing back release dates or having them fly by without a word. AEG is somewhat guilty of this (with WLC no less). Perhaps this is there way of being a bit more honest with their customers. I for one appreciate it but admit that it doesn't make a lot of business sense.

Well, hasn't AEG really pretty much closed down their RPG division? The stuff they've released has basically been books that were pretty much written (This and the Accordianlands). And Spycraft was handed off to Crafty Games, who are now publishing through Mongoose.

Anyway, guess my Amazon.com boycott didn't last very long. And by the time they ship it, hopefully I'll be able to pay for it.

Even if they did feel that word of mouth would be good enough to sell WLC it still seems extremely weird not to announce that they have released the book on thier own website. I can't imagine that would be too much trouble. I find their total silence on the release of what is a pretty big project to be perplexing to say the least.

There's an old thread where people asked about the book's release and what we can expect from it.

Etc.
