Tell Merlin I like the map. Tell him if he doesn't share more my friend Nimue will pay him a visit !

What's that Nimue...Yes Merlin does have a nice beard, I wouldn't call it pretty like you did but... um, yes I bet if you do ask nicely he will share all his secrets with you...what, what was that about a cave?

I was kicking around on amazon looking to spend a gift card and lo and behold it looks like they got most of the Cthulhu monographs up on Amazon! There are some of the BRP monographs up as well.

They added some more today. Looks like they might be adding all the monographs in time.

Drivethru sent me the list a couple of days ago.

I am not sure why Chaosium are not advertising this - I would have preferred to hear about it first from Chaosium.

Maybe they are waiting till they get all the titles up. They have more released for POD today.

I always thought it meant "Big Gold Book" referring to the current hardcover and softcover version of BRP that others have mentioned gives you the many options consolidated and some like super powers updated from the original sources/games.

The print edition got removed?

Looks like it. I wonder why? I got mine just the other day in the mail. Glancing through it I noticed the book was bigger than previous releases and also noticed some errata. Nothing earth shaking just things like referring to APP instead of CHA (p. 70), The corruption table had three entries (Obese, Metalic skin, and thick hide)that refer "to all locations" or on all locations, and one of the pregen characters in his equipment had a "great word" instead of a great sword. Again nothing earth shattering so I'm not sure why it's gone.

So far I've liked the book.

I think Interplanetary may be on hold...the initial ETA has lapsed six years ago...not sure I would hold out for this title. It was for BRP rather than OQ I think. Sounded pretty interesting at the time.

If you are after pulp Sword & Planet, then the BRP monograph Swords of Cydoria probably hits the spot:

Well worth checking out

Thanks,

I'm aware of Interplanetary and have Swords of Cydoria. I was looking to see if there were plans/interest for something else.

Any Chance of a Sword & Planet (also called Planetary Romance) sourcebook?

Now out

ordered the POD this morning before work. Can't wait till it gets here!

Thanks,

For Loz and Pete,

I know there was some talk about a single book or splitting up Classic Fantasy. I own a softcover and hardcover of RQ6 as well as the Classic Fantasy monograph and will not hesitate to buy the RQ6 version of Classic Fantasy with the full rules included. I'd prefer it that way than a separate book as I dislike having to go to the monograph and then the BRP hardcover.

RQ6 will be supporting Glorantha and Moon Design/Design Mechanism have been talking about adapting some of the old AH and Chaosium material to RQ6. 'Shadows on the Borderlands' and 'Borderlands' would be two ideal areas for an RQ6 overhaul. Indeed, it's on our radar.

Any chance of Dorastor being adapted?

Just to stay on topic I can't wait for RQ Classic Fantasy.

Thanks for the update.

Newt,

Thanks for the May update that answered this question.

Any word yet on when this will be available?

So does anyone one know when the book will arrive in stores? FRP and Noble Knight still don't have it in stock.

Very nice! Now I'll be impatiently waiting my preorder to ship from FRP Games.

Yes it looks like Chaosium is out of stock for the moment, however they do reprint their monographs from time to time. My guess is that if you keep checking on the monograph section it will eventually show back up. I bought both witchcraft and rubble & ruin monographs from Chaosium after they had been off the site for awhile and were eventually reprinted.

Woo-hoo!

I just got word from Nick that they've received a call from their shipper, stating that AS is on a pallet and scheduled for delivery to their warehouse -tomorrow-!

Which means, barring any unforeseen shenanigans, it should be hitting US retailers in a week or so. I'll be swinging by Chaosium tomorrow to pick up a few copies, and will post a photo when I do.

Thanks for all your patience on this one, guys. I hope you enjoy the book!

Glad to hear! Any idea of a page count?

With you there. As long as it is BRP or a BRP derivative (RQ, OQ, Legend, etc.) I'll be happy. Otherwise I'll pass on it.

RPG.net had an interview up with the author. The interview was on Mindjammer but in it Sarah states that there is a new version/edition of Chronicles coming out but does not state what system will be used.

If it is a printed book and not a PDF I'd buy it.

Sounds good...any ETA for the dead tree version ?

If not a printed book can you make it, as well as the other PDF's that haven't seen print yet, available as a POD ?

FRP games is showing Advanced Sorcery as a Feb.28th release. Don't know how accurate that is as their release dates are not always accurate for various reasons. They are also showing Enlightened Magic for release on the same day. This makes me a little skeptical. Good news is there are continued signs of upcoming releases coming "soonish"!

Not from Amazon UK. I ordered one and it didn't turn up. I wonder if there are any actual books printed off yet?

I voted as well. Glad to see it is second, when I voted it was next to last. If it does well enough we might see it given the poll asks "what systems...", even though it looks like BRP won't catch FATE. Hopefully we can get it close.
