…the preliminary layout is being worked on now. I’ve seen some drafts, and it’s fucking gorgeous. The things that can be done with B&W line art… incredible.
That is all for now.

    Sounds great! I can’t wait to see it!

    Really can’t wait… Would it be difficult to get it overseas? I live in Spain, more or less middle distance between the US and Japan going eastwards…
    Been a bit worried last weeks, as I had no news from you, folks. The TBZ project sounds so nice…
    Anyway, here in Spain we have no much in the concept of tabletop rpg… beyond D&D, Vampire and siblings, some years ago Rolemaster, Call of Cthutulhu or Battletech… Rune Quest is also played… We have our share of native productions: Fanhunter, Fanpiro or Outfan (inspired by Cels Piñol’s universe of parodic works), Mutantes en la sombra (Mutants in Shadow), Microscopia (imagine being an ant in a ant’s hive, very funny), Superheroes Inc, EXO, Roleage Evolved, or Anima Beyond Fantasy…
    Most Spanish RPG players do not even know that in Japan there are also versions of D&D and even native games they do not even imagine… What a waste!
    By the way, what’s the problem with the Palladium boss, Mr Siembieda, why doesn’t he want his games to be translated to Spanish? I would like to be able to do it (if I had the time, I had the knowledge and the skill…)
    OK, enough. Thanks a lot

    Andy: That kinda teasing is unfair! When will the volume be published!? And yeah, following Antonio, will the book be available through amazon?

  4. Hey all:
    >>> Would it be difficult to get it overseas?

    Nope. Just like what we did with Maid, we’re going to make sure that we can hook everyone up with the book overseas. Shipping is pricey these days, but we won’t have a situation where you simply won’t be able to sell it.

    >>> And yeah, following Antonio, will the book be available through amazon?

    Nope. Selling through Amazon may net us another hundred sales, but in return we’d have to raise the cover price of the book significantly, and still make less money in the end (even after amplified sales) than just doing it locally through the web or with another tier-slashing distributor like Indie Press Revolution.

    cooooooool! is this still being aimed at a ~february release?!

  6. Don W. says:

    Hey Andy are you going to offer the same deals as MaidRPG where it was the book, pdf, or combo?

  7. >> cooooooool! is this still being aimed at a ~february release?!

    Nope! No update of the adjusted released date, but it looks like it might be *finished/laid out* in February. It’ll take a few more months to print, etc.

    I won’t have any more posted release dates until the game is out of my hands and at the printers. That way is far less painful!

    >> Hey Andy are you going to offer the same deals as MaidRPG where it was the book, pdf, or combo?

    I’m still deciding. I am thinking that, for the first round of release, it might be released in book form *only*, and in PDF at a later time. Still working out the details, though.

  8. Carl says:

    Is there any chance we could see some of this beautiful line art?

    Maybe line art with some text involving one of these archetypes?

    *bats eyes pretty*

  9. Oh yeah, that will definitely be happening. Gimme a month!
