Default Re: The Dungeon Fantasy box set is great! But now I hunger for more...

Themed monster books. The whole point of the DFRPG box set is that it's complete.

And I disagree.


In terms of content there's still plenty to cover.

Then there's the standees etc (minis potentially ).

Then theres the chance of a box getting in the shelves and new people buying the original box.

In terms of production.

Ill give you that writing and editing are much of the time, but consider a hypothetical "next level book".

Needs to distil down several books.
Be edited.

Likely needs some new content.

Then there's art and production.

There was a huge wait this time between the books being written through a kickstarter through to me actually getting it hypothetically in October.

I give my standard disclaimer of knowing nothing about the internal SJ Games situation.

I still see that being much more than a year from start to finish.

I also see putting two boxed sets through the pipeline at the same time being an issue .
