Thanks Paul

#3

That Maggie/Maggy sure is fickle with her name.

#4

Man, that's it.

We're living in the post-Oblivaeon GTG society. @_@

#5

Spirit Island stuff shipping to backers?

#6

So is Eric/Erik.

#7

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Paul. Have you guys heard anything from Green Ronin as to where they are in the development of Sentinels of Earth-Prime? Also, do you know if they're using the same printing company that you guys at GTG use for your Multiverse products? I'm just curious if we're going to get the same level of material quality of card that we get from that game as we get from you.

I finally got my copy of OblivAeon and I don't have much intrest in Spirit Island, so I guess I'm waiting for the SC: RPG Kickstarter to drop in a little over two and a half months. That's still on track for January next year, right?

@Phantom5613

I'm not sure where Green Ronin is in the process! I do know that our portion of the project is now done, so they are on the art and layout portion of the project. I do believe that they are using the same printer.

We are still on track for a SCRPG Kickstarter in January!

#9

I’d heard some talk about a release of another SCRPG one-shot for PAX unplugged.  Any idea when we might see it in the store for purchase or download?

  1. Cassidy from Cheapass Games visited St. Louis to talk about integrating her and the Cheapass Games catalog into GTG.

Wow! Thats really cool! I love cheapass games xD

#11

@Powerhound_2000

PAX Unplugged :)

#12

I miss Paul's December update :(

#13

Give him time.  

#14

@Paul, regarding Prime War in July you advised that by the fall the updates should be monthly just like a Kickstarter. What are your plans for more detailed updates in the future?

#15

I would recommend these for the lore: Podcasts/Episode 80 - Sentinel Comics Wiki Podcasts/Episode I-22 - Sentinel Comics Wiki

And this for the mechanics and overall things: http://greaterthangames.libsyn.com/interview-with-prime-war-designers-lore-forge-games

Of what developments have come out lately.

Edit: This also showed up today: The Con Days Are Over, the Con Days are Done – Lore Forge Games

#16

cant been itching for some Prime war updates but Jeysie beat Paul too it.

#17

Wait a sec, there's a non-Letters Page GtG podcast?!?

#18

Sort of. Right now it’s almost entirely audio versions of the SCRPG sessions and their panels at the most recent GenCon. The only unique/new content is the above interview with the Lore Forge dudes, a 15 minute interview with Mr. Reuss about the Spirit Island expansion, and I realized just this moment a 15 minute interview with Handelabra’s Jeremy; will have to listen to that one.

#19

They have not been active in promoting it for whatever reason.    I’ll need to listen to the Jeremy one myself as I wasn’t aware of that one.  

#20

Yeah, thanks, Jeysie, for letting us all know about this. I remember GTG saying there would be audio versions of the RPG sessions back when those were running, but then I kinda forgot about it. :B
