Default Who's next?

Apologies if this question has been done to death, but I couldn't find any recent threads on the issues.

Which Superiors are next in the line for a PDF write-up? Which Superiors would people like to see?

I'd be very keen to see expanded write-ups for Novalis and Zadkiel. They're two of my four favourite Archangels (along with Eli and Yves) and neither of them have had any kind of additional material of any kind written for them so far.

It'd also be nice to see some stuff for Raphael, though I understand there's a decent write-up for her on David Edelstein's page.

Zadkiel is in the queue (playtest completed); the status of Marc is... not yet revealed to those such as I. :)

Yay for Zadkeil!

Marc might be interesting, actually - he's the Archangel I always seem to forget about.

Which leaves Christopher, Janus, Jean, Jordi, Novalis, and Furfur as active Superiors with just "bare-bones" writeups, assuming the writeup for Marc is still in progress. (Baal, Beleth, Belial, Kronos, Malphas, and Saminga got somewhat-expanded writeups in the Revelations Cycle.)

As to who I'd want to see described after Zadkiel and Marc... hmmmmm... Novalis, Christopher, Malphas, Jordi, Janus, Kronos, and "the rest," in that order.

Well, if I may add my "wish list" (hey, Christmas is not so far away any more...), it'd contain (in the following order and after Marc (Minor Superiors are still not to my liking)):

- Kronos
- Jean
- Baal
- Janus
- Malphas
- Novalis
- Saminga
- Jordi
- Beleth
- Belial

And after that, any Majors still left unpublished...

One interesting possibility might be to combine Novalis, Jean, Janus and Jordi into one "Superiors" publication, even if it's an online-only release. I'm thinking "Superiors 5: Forces of Nature."

Glad to see that Zadkiel's in the queue. I've always liked guardian angels. (Yes, Cherubim have a special place in my heart)

Maybe they will unveil the unnamed archangel of Death

(isn't getting his hopes up)

Personally I wouldn't mind Seeing Mike or Bladine getting write ups. Though kobal, yves, belial and Gabriel are high on my list too.

Two things, I fear.

1) The original lineup had working titles of:
• Peace and Nature, with Eli, Novalis, Jordi, and Christopher.
• Pillars and Wildcards, with Janus, Jean, Marc, Litheroy, and Zadkiel.

2) The mechanics of e23 both permit and reward one-Superior e-books.
• They're faster to organize (requiring only one author, though of course more can join forces (see Asmodeus)).
• Faster to playtest.
• Faster to lay out.
• Allow players and game masters to cherry-pick their favorites first. (Though I hope, of course, that they'll go back and get everyone eventually.)

Unless the POD status for IN changes drastically, I don't think there will be any more combined books like the first four were. (And, considering the page count issues, I actually have no problem with that.) As the first
four go out of print, I will suggest breaking them up into singletons, too -- though I don't know if that will be considered a good use of e23-staff's time, so they may continue to be collections, at that.


EDIT: *beth gives robkelk an Essence cookie* O:>
