Shadow
Why so silent?
02/10/2011 08:18
So it has been a week since the last post. Some people worry that silence means bad things. As I always point out, silence means we are working.
Working? On. What?
A lot.
Shadow, Sword & Spell: Expert is in layout.
The reedit of Shadow, Sword & Spell: Basic is done, and it is now ready for order. In addition the PDFs have been updated.
Speaking of Shadow, Sword & Spell, three new adventures are in editing, and they will start rolling out over the next few weeks. Two of these adventures take place within The Merchant League (see Shadow, Sword & Spell: Basic) and the third one takes place in the kingdom of Beidha (see the soon to be released Shadow, Sword & Spell: Expert). One of these adventures are written by myself, while the other two are written by names which should be familiar (Brendan Davis and Gabriel Brouillard).
This is not all the things being worked on for Shadow, Sword & Spell. Threats is almost done, and I hope to kick it to editing by the end of the month. City is coming along, and I am hoping once I get the other things off my list the pace will pick up. In addition I am kicking around notes for a couple of other adventures, as well as Companion.
Shifting to Thousand Suns, the Revised Rulebook is in layout. James is working on a number of other items, which I will let him talk about.
As for Colonial Gothic, there is a lot going on. The second part of Flames of Freedom is almost done with editing. A new book is being worked on now, and this is one that will be a collection of magic and the like. This one is being worked on by me. In addition I am finishing up research for the third part (due out next year). I am also working on the Freemason PDF.
If that was not enough, I am reaching the end of the layout of all the eBooks. By month’s end, all current titles will available as not only ePub but for Kindle. These will be sold direct from the Rogue Games Online Store. In addition, we will be moving to the second phase of our bundling. That phase? The option phase.
Huh?
For as long as we have been in existence, if you buy the book, you get the PDF for free. This then moved to buying the book anywhere, even conventions. Now, with the growth of eReaders, and the growing demand for eReader versions, the bundling is going to apply to them as well. Now when you buy a print version of games, you will have your choice of either the PDF, ePub or Kindle version. In addition, just like our PDF Guarantee, if you buy the book, you will get your choice of either file.
Ok, so there is the latest. More to come.

Status Update: SS&S Basic Reedit
01/12/2011 05:44
A quick update.
The layout for the reedited Shadow, Sword & Spell: Basic is done. It took longer than I thought, but the holidays hit, and everyone on the team got hit with sickness and some other family issues. I am looking over the PDF now, with any luck this will be done by the end of the week. Once that happens here is what takes place:
All goes well, by next week, the reedit will be printing.
So that is where we stand.
Just so you know, Shadow, Sword & Spell: Expert is about to go into layout. It should be there by this weekend.

- The PDF version will be updated. Everyone who bought it, or got it as part of the print bundle, will get the reedited PDF.
- The print files will go to the printer. Once the files go through the printer’s check, the book will be ready to print.
All goes well, by next week, the reedit will be printing.
So that is where we stand.
