Mignola claimed in an interview years ago that he was working on another Hellboy project with SJGames. It's not very likely though.

Oops. I see the mistake I made. When I saw the "S" on Adventure, I figured it was a support book for GMs to make their own adventures.

Isn't that what the DF series is already? What kind of support do you think is missing?

What might the theme be? Wildcard skills maybe given RPK's project will have rules for using them at higher relative levels...

Talents would be nice too.

I don't think anything is missing, but I thought, and would welcome, a book on dungeon/adventure design. I'm not dure if that conveys what I mean entirely, hmm. DF 2 already has loads of good info, and any addition would be icing on top for me.

Sounds like a good pyramid article or two.

So, what's new this week? (Or, more specifically, since the Wednesday DI post--see a couple posts above for my summary of that.)

The LTC3 release is imminent, probably next week; Divine Powers should follow soon after. The last corrections have been made to the first two Monster Hunters volumes; all they're missing is art. The third Monster Hunters volume isn't far behind; its final draft has been reviewed. So has the first draft of Worlds of Horror, for that matter. And finally, we got a nice description of Instant Armor courtesy of Dan Howard himself: "all of the tables that wouldn't fit in Low-Tech plus some bits and pieces that expand and clarify some aspects of the armour rules".

After my comment about Classics: Special Ops being released this week, RPK made a not-so-cryptic "Mwa ha ha"-ish post.

Tactical Shooting is about to come on scene, I'd wager.

Yeah. I'd guess sometime in February (Kromm's blog makes it sound like LTC3 and Divine Favor are coming first). Considered making it my guess for the 3rd, but that would mean four new releases in a row, which seemed a little too optimistic.
