It was MUCH smaller than the current version, and a lot has been revised even in the material that was included. Maybe - just maybe - I can be persuaded to sell a few of the current two-volume manuscript at GenCon, but there's need to be significant interest. Gods and Goddesses will take a while because it has a LOT of art, and it gets updated as I realise additional information is needed to support scenarios, etc. And of course the art. You think RQG looked good? I would be all over buying another Gencon preview of anything you might care to share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonsnail Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks for the update. Great art as usual! Will the two scenario packs Smoking Ruins and Pegasus Plateau be smaller softback books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekmx Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Given that you have a business model of publishing your work as PDF's(with a discount for the hard copy) before the hard copy is available, is there a reason you don't make available the draft text's without art work under the same model? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is an interesting idea! I'm sure there are good reasons not to though... off the top of my head... Reviews will come out before the final product is ready, and will not mention the great art, and then when the art is done the "second wave" reviews will not get as many eyes Changes to the text will mean that people use information in their games that then gets "ruined" by the final text Some people might buy it and gripe that production standards have fallen giving Chaosium a bad reputation for slipping standards Retailers and other outlets like Drivethru will be upset that Chaosium is taking their sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also can get tradetalk magazine from drivethru.rpg that have some RQ3 and HQ adventures. My collection includes pretty much everything that's ever existed, including most if not all of those issues. But we've been playing for 20 years. The well has all dried up, and I don't have the time I once did to write new stuff from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
