"It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.."

"We do what we must, because we can."

You know, Earlydawn, that 86K word chapter might not be for SR, right? Adam does layout for everything in CGL...this could be for something for SR, it could be for something for BT, or Degensis, or this mysterious new game they were talking about.

Any chance the new game could be ED, so that CGL would have complete, and total control over the continuity over the ED - SR connection, or is that just wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking.

Unless Redbrick lost the license and hasn't mentioned it, it's unlikely. I've been trying to think about what it could be. Would it be something unlike what they already do, or go along with them? Part of me thinks gritty graphic novel style super powers.
Or if we are talking former FASA projects, there is Crimson Skies and Vopr the Maelstrom. I'm not sure anyone is workign on them.

Is it safe to assume that we can agree it will be another RPG or sorts? Or something more board-based?

i knew the ED thing was a stretch, but hey i can dream right?

I bet they got the rights to a licensing Icon.

get ready for "Barbie: the RPG!!"

Your statement does nothing to damper my happiness.

It's not Earthdawn.

Someone should start a poll to have everyone guess what it is.

As an operational question relevant to this thread; how long does formatting a rulebook generally take?


IE. in a roundabout way, when can we expect our unwired PDFs ?

2-6 weeks, depending on the size, who's working on it, how good the drafts are, what other craziness is going on at the same time, if a bunch of new graphics need to be generated, if the art needs touching up, if the art arrives at the correct size [oi vey!], whether the layout guy catches the plague and nearly dies in the middle of it, etc.
