[DW] Prince of Darkness?

[hal]

Prince of Darkness, the final of the initial run of DW, was scheduled to be released in April 2009. However, it is not up for April or May. Is it still expected?

Not sure, James has been quiet lately and theirs not much movement on the Magnum Opus Site.

Any idea if he's had any luck getting his comp ( and roof) fixed up?

 

[Jiminy]

It does look like it's been delayed.

Rumour has it - or rather, Jon Hodgson's web site - that the Prince of Darkness cover was finished back in early December. I wonder what it's like?

Actually has anyone seen James recently?

Said cover was on show in a 99% finished form at Dragonmeet. Oliver seemed to approve. Its mostly blue, if that helps.

I do believe James is very busy indeed on various projects right now. But don't quote me on that.

 

[Jiminy]

Blue? Cool... I expected red (like the original cover), but now I'm even more intrigued. Thanks for some awesome artwork on the new DW, Jon.

 

[Jon Hodgson]

Thank you, you are extremely welcome. And when I say it was my pleasure I mean it.

There's a lot of snow in Prince of Darkness.

That's awesome! 8)

New month up, still no Prince of Darkness. I am getting a bad feeling about this.

 

[Jiminy]

POD was orginally scheduled to arrive two months after TEC. I reckon that plan hasn't changed, so perhaps we will now see it in June/July, instead?

Sounds about right to me, speaking in a completely unofficial capacity.
No one should think this isn't happening, because, well, it is! As fast as such high levels of awesome can be pumped into one volume. That kind of stuff takes time sometimes.

The problem is that Mongoose site lists the next 3 months releases through to July and Prince of Darkness is not on there. So it may be August or later (a 2 month delay on top of the 2 month delay we had with Elven Crystals )

James Wallis has said on RPGnet to expect the book in June or July.

Excellent; I was smack-dab on the money! :wink:

Assuming James is correct. The releases for June and July are already up and from past experiences, sneaking into the printing queue is quite tough.

I bet you 1 Bet Point that we don't see it until August.

 

[hal]

Still no PoD on the release schedule and we are in May. I assume June is out of the question. I wonder when we will see things.
