When is Jaiman rev hitting the stores?

Hopefully January. I have submitted the ms, and also awaiting some final art, RMSS stats, and edits.

In case anyone is not aware, I also have a site, eidolonstudio.com, with some random info, bio stuff about me, and a Space Master story. I need to clean it up while I can still use that web software, which only works on my older iMac.

 I have been working on that a lot in recent weeks. I think it will be next, but I have to ink the elaborate catacombs. Shooting for Spring.

In advance, Happy New Year everyone!

I am awaiting edits on Jaiman, while plugging along on the Haalkitaine revision. I am modeling it on the Eidolon revision: lots of new material, lots of details about normal life and how the PCs might deal with visiting or living in the city. But in this edition of course, the dreaded catacombs and sewers.

Oh and many adventure scenarios this time. The first edition had no adventures.

Happy New Year! My gift to you all:

http://www.rpgnow.com/product/230188/Shadow-World-Six-Rolemaster-Heroes?src=newest

Just to clarify, this is a six-page FREE PDF download with backgrounds on the quartet we have been seeing in recent Shadow World book illustrations. It also gives hints about their quest, and complete Rolemaster stats for all (RM2/Classic for now; RMSS to be added soon). Please review! If there is interest this could be expanded into a quest/campaign module that some have requested.

About 200 people have downloaded the Shadow World 'Travellers' flier. I know it was just a six-page teaser, but I wanted to get a small thing out. Jaiman is back to me from my esteemed editor with minor tweaks, so just waiting on RMSS stats and a few final art items.

Haalkitaine is to follow with lots of new art (including from an old SW artist who has come a long way in his talent) and the promised sewers and catacombs and adventures. And then a final Emer tour.

(BTW, do you all like these updates? Are they useful?)

I am not running a game in shadow world but I like the work done, and trying to use some of the material in my campaigns. So yes they are useful! Haalkitanie might be very interesting for me with all the sewers and catacombs there.

I love to hear the updates, so that I know what is coming down the pipe.

Thank you, Mr. Amthor! I was glad to be the catalyst for this! Indeed, a campaign module starring these characters would be a welcome addition.

Thanks again for putting this together! Looking forward to the next publication...

Updates are always appreciated and so are supplements like that. Now, if you could put together one every month or two that would be great! :) And I for one would be willing to pay for them.

Terry,

I have just been reading the discussion on herb finding and it seems that the natural place for putting the table that people are after are in the region specific books that you create.

http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=18417.0

Is that something that is worth building in to future books?

Yes, we like the updates, please keep them coming.


I'm also toying with the idea of writing a 'small' adventure book centered around one shop (or maybe a cluster of shops) in Sel-kai, going into incredible detail about the layout of the place, with wares, secret cubbies, etc., and the profiles of the resident-owners. I think it would be fun.

That sounds like an awesome idea.

Yes, please!  It's great to know what you have planned as it means I know what I expect to be filling in for my players vs. what I can expect to just take as canon from you in the near future.

Sounds good!

I need to send player characters to Jaiman quite soon, so i am impatient and waiting new Jaiman book and Haalkatine book. Yes, i have allmost every campaign book located to Jaiman, but so far we have focused to Emer. Is the publication near?
