‘Ere We Go, ‘Ere We Go!

Monday Meeting

No surprise after last week’s AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! blog, we’re going out the door to Gen Con tomorrow. With that in mind, please be aware that communication will be spotty, and I’ll probably miss posting until mid next week. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to the con, and we have tried to preset a bunch of announcement posts to launch for folks not in Indy. We’ll be tweeting and FBing for sure all week, so rest assured we have not forgotten you, true believers!

If you are there, the lovely Onyx Path canvas bag pictured above will be available at our booth (#1103), as will the equally lovely paper version that we will be lovingly nestling your book purchases within. For Scarred Lands fans, we’ll have a sneak preview of the first new Scarred Lands adventure in years: The Gauntlet of Spiragos. Stop by and check out a demo copy.

And because it doesn’t hurt to run this info again:

Final Gen Con Game Schedule!

Now, while I was gone, I understand that Eddy lazily cut and pasted our internal update posts, and that some of you expressed a preference for this style of project progress report…well, well, well. If that’s what folks want, I guess I’d be a fool to revert to the previous set up. Let’s see how this works if we do it this way for awhile.

ART DIRECTION FROM MIRTHFUL MIKE

White Howlers – Jeff’s finals are in as are Leblanc’s sketches. Bridges is working on the comic…he’s hoping to finish it up soon.

MtAw Fallen World Anthology

Ex3 core. From Holden: “In Exalted this week: Final typo passes all over the place, more playtest-based small rules tweaks, internal stress-testing of antagonist stat blocks, ongoing editing, inventing a new keyword for hearthstones, and catching up with the progress of the EX3 quickstart.” Also half the art notes are in, but won’t be delegated out until after Gen Con.
