Dredj Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's coming along well enough - a couple of speed bumps in June and early July have caused me to ask for an extension to turn it at the end of August instead. My schedule has opened up immensely, though, and I'm going to see about finishing it before then if at all possible. Either way, it gives me more time to save up my money:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason D Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 How is it looking? August or September? SGL. No news. Still writing it. It'll then go to a limited playtest/edit cycle, then to Chaosium where it goes at the tail end of a very long list of things to be published. After that: art, cover, editing, and layout... then printing. My guess is Christmastime or thereabouts for in-store or .pdf release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Poorly phrased question from my side. I was thinking of which month you think you will be submitting it to Chaosium, not when they will be releasing it. SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.

Kathulos Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hey Jason, Any chance you could give us an update and/or additional teasers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hey Jason, Any chance you could give us an update and/or additional teasers? My apologies. My schedule on Interplanetary has slipped by a few months due to a calamitous series of events relating to work, life, and family. (The company I worked for more-or-less went out of business causing me to seek and find a new job I need to adjust to; we're dealing with an ongoing and terminal illness in my wife's immediate family; and a series of vehicle problems that necessitated a new car purchase.) My family and I are fine, but spare time has been hard to find. I talked with Charlie Krank about it at Gen Con and he was understanding, so it's going to be later than planned. However, there's a ton of other BRP stuff in the hopper from other authors, and Chaosium is pretty much swamped with production on those products. In the weeks to come, I'll drop some teaser text when I'm able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifletraxor Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Got an ETA Jason? :beetle: Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Got an ETA Jason? :beetle: Not especially happy news. The manuscript is on hold for the time being due to the recent death of a family member and the ensuing issues it spurred, combined with a demanding time at work in my new job. Plus there's the usual dearth of free time during the holiday season (I get Thanksgiving, wife's birthday, wedding anniversary, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year's, and my baby's birthday in a 40-day period). There's also an issue I need resolved with Chaosium before I can get back to work on it, and communication is typically slow there. So the update would be "Manuscript to be turned in to Chaosium Q1 2009" if things are straightened out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Okay, thanks for the quick feedback. I'll update the ETA. Take care! :beetle: Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm sorry to announce that Interplanetary is, for the time being, indefinitely delayed. This is bad news indeed, there is really not that much space fantasy or sci- ence fiction "in the pipeline" for BRP. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

ORtrail Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm sorry to announce that Interplanetary is, for the time being, indefinitely delayed. Does this involve issues with Chaosium? Or family/life situation? Or both? BRP Interpanetary was very near the top of my "wish list" for BRP, so this is sad news indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Does this involve issues with Chaosium? Or family/life situation? Or both? My family is doing fine, I'm healthy, and work is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlasa Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well this is the worst BRP news so far... I was soooooo much wanting this to come out. Nostalgia is nice and all but it seems like Chaosium needs to pass the torch onto a new generation of folks who can handle the workload. If nothing else maybe some group like quasi-BRP-related group like Pagan could publish this as a sideline... maybe take 'bids' on it like some companies do until it's obvious there are enough customers to make it a sure bet.

Steve Mitchell Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That's very good news, Jason. I was leafing through some Leigh Brackett material last week and started thinking (once again!) about how much I wanted to see Interplanetary come out.
