Ghostwriter Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 As in title - I've been wondering about this book. There were some (apparent) prereleases but no PDFs, and nothing since then. Is it dead, in the pipeline, sleeping beneath the waves? Anyone can comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovyclam Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It was decided by the new Chaosium management that all new releases after their take-over of the firm would be high-end, slick-looking products ( as flashy as the new 7th Ed books ) so the pre-release has gone back to the layout stage to give it a makeover. I think that also involves finding new art for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I saw it on Chaosium's website either early this year or the later part of last year and ordered a copy. I was sent a 1st edition copy instead. When I complained they said that they didn't have any more in stock. Wound up with a refund and a free C:DA book. I'm still looking forward to this though.

Matt Ryan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I had the exact same experience. Ordered the 2nd Ed., got the 1st, a nice apology, a refund, and told to give the copy to a friend. I did just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The 2nd Edition of Dark Ages is going to take longer to rework than first envisaged. We don't have an ETA yet, but it won't be in 2016. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbraldragon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think if you're using 6th edition and earlier the 1st edition is fully compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoApostolov Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Has there been any news on this book? Has it been released, is it safe to buy what is offered on Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klecser Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 My understanding of the latest news is that Dark Ages is being rolled into a broader Middle Ages setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaPanther Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Are they going to expand it beyond the late 10th and early 11th century setting? I would love to run a campaign in the 14th & early 15th centuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
