That has many pitfalls in terms of revenue capture, but it makes for decent stretch goals.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Today's highlights from Kromm...
[Mod note: Don't copy his text. People who want to read it can click the link.] So I expect news on Kromms last writing project soon, either out (probably next month) or that rumored kickstarter to be formally announced soon. Think that was this month? That Vehicles project should be from Phil Masters. Wonder what era or type it will cover? And yet another new proposal,too early to list it yet I'll see if we get an authors name soon, possibly when he announces the contract has been signed. Oh and the TFT Companion link is working now! Buy it if you haven't already!

Assuming one piece per month (which I'd rather not do, but which seems like the safe bet until the rhythm consistently changes), I suspect that July, August, and September will see, not necessarily in this order, Template Toolkit 2, MH Power-Ups 1, and Sorcery: Sound Spells. The new DFRPG Kickstarter probably fits in there someplace, too, but on a somewhat separate track. SE: Keeping in Contact is in final-draft editing; the time to publication from that stage seems to be at least two to three months (assuming it already has an editor!), so it could come out in October, or maybe it's a bit slower and that's the target slot intended for Kromm's latest tidbit. I wonder which corner of Dungeon Fantasy (or something else) he's exploring right now? Though HT: Electricity and Electronics has reached final-draft status, it's moderately long for layout and might have received some budget for new art (hoped-for crossover potential?). That could further delay the process, so I'm envisioning it further out than the others (a bunch of toys for Christmas?), though I'd love to be wrong. And the only other products that are known to be at all advanced along the pipeline are the just-now-playtested Disasters: Hurricane and... Quote:
I rather doubt it's vehicles for Discworld or Castle Falkenstein -- though he could have written up some less fantastical, more historical Victorian transportation, like their bewildering variety of carriages or an assortment of railway cars. Or, of course, it might be something completely unanticipated. Chanteuses' Zambonis? Further behind the veil, we've got David Pulver's two-parter (already in rough draft for a month?), Christopher Rice's SNO-51 (with rough draft to be delivered in August), and a DF setting I suspect is by Matt Riggsby. But who knows? That's all probably for 2020.

I still think its MH: Power-Ups then Template Toolkit but hopefully we know next week! The Hurricane one should be interesting, be nice if it hits the shelf before Hurricane season is over (runs from June to Nov for the Atlantic) and I'm hoping it has some useful tidbits for fantasy and weather mages.

Hmm a Matt Rigsby setting would probably be good, like to see Tramlett get a setting too. There were several good setting ideas in Pyramid I would love to see, including that space car wars setting.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
It is, or rather was. The Kromm suggestions have already been applied and the modified draft returned. (This sort of Vehicles book doesn't run long, and he didn't ask for a total rewrite.) Assuming that Kromm is cool with one rules-related Thing I added (at his suggestion), it'll hopefully be in the queue for playtesting soon.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
J and I are busy working up TFT stuff till at least October. We've talked about doing a setting book of some kind. But it's just been talk so far.

I think we could use a few more setting books. GURPS has quite a few but there very much a matter of taste and I dont think more would hurt. Gaming Ballistics Nordland is pretty much a DF setting already and one more DF setting is in the queue.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
More worked examples never hurt in my experience.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Having done a few setting/world books, mostly because I had ideas and a few notes and it seemed a shame to waste them, I'd say that they sold... moderately well, but not as well as the big popular stuff. The demand isn't huge. Though they do seem to keep selling, a couple of copies a month, which is better than some things.
