I see people posting on the forum, but nothing from Chaosium.

Thsi still coming out or was it just quietly canceled?

Ian was still working on it as of ChaosiumCon, but suspect it is a slow progression.

Chaosium seems to not like to announce project-status when it only amounts to "still working on it... just like the last time we updated."

And as Jaja says, likely it's going slow.

Ian said on Mastodon recently that he just finished the index. Unfortunately, I can't find it now. He may have automatic post deletion set up, because outside of his pinned post, there's nothing older than Jul 29th on his dice.camp Mastodon profile.

Ian has further said that his work is done, so we must be getting close.

We don’t talk release schedules - marketing likes to manage that - including if we are going to crowdfund but your patience will be rewarded soon. (I can’t tell you because that’s not my call).

But I can say that my work as writer, art director, and Susan the editors work are done 😉

"close" is a very, very loose term, here.
Layout could take a long, long time; then the proof/print/ship cycle is likely a 3- to 4-month minimum.

It may languish in Chaosium's  "projects awaiting available resources"  pile indefinitely while their layout people handle other (expected to have larger audience) projects.
They might hire someone specifically for the project.
 

I'm hoping they'll see fit to launch the production immediately via crowdfunding.  It seems to be in an ideal state (text & art complete!) for that sort of thing.

Honestly:  that Ian even mentions this, makes it seem likely.  I presume they will need to ID & hire an experienced layout X crowdfunder X project-manager person (or team) who is(are) willing to work on contingency (i.e. the success of a crowfunding program).

We just don't do dates, it's a Chaosium thing. Marketing wants to control the messaging, not have one campaign interfere with another. But it really is imminent.

Happy dance!
