No Ennies nominations for us this year. A bit bummed at the moment.
Ah well, maybe next year.

Upcoming: Blood and Guts 2 War on Terror
The first (and so far only) campaign model for Blood and Guts has just been updated to the second edition. The book now follows the same format as BNG 2 Special Operations Command.
No idea when this will be for sale, I just turned in my draft today, but it should be soon.

Upcoming: Legends adventures
Just a quick note that there will be two Legends adventures coming up, one for Samurai and one that will be released in two version, for Excalibur and Dark Ages.
More details as they become available (that's my little way of saying I haven't started writing them yet).

Legends: Core Class Casualty
Well an alteration to the core class list posted earlier, the Holy Warrior is a goner. I really wanted a Paladin analogue but ultimately decided if the class did appear, it would be as a PrC.
I think, based on this experience, along with the other Legends books, that if I were to write the PHB (yeah right) I would make Paladin a PrC as well.

Upcoming: Legends of the Dark Ages
I am about 50 pages into the next major Legends book so I think its time to make an announcement.
For those of you who are members of the Legendsrpg yahoo group, you've already heard this (that's right- I filter information out slowly like the CIA taking over a South American country for General Foods).
The next Legends book will be Legends of the Dark Ages, covering Europe from the Fall of the Western Roman Empire through Charlemagne (476-814). While there will be magic in the game, the goal was to do a more historical take on the period (since arguably Excalibur is a dark ages book as well).
I think for those with an interest in historical gaming this would be a big hit. Also I think there's a lot here for the Excalibur player/gm.
Dark Ages has a lot of info on barbarians, including a couple of new core classes (Marauder and Nomad) and a barbarian bloodline.
The core class list is shaping up along these lines:
Charlatan
Hermit (from Excalibur)
Holy Warrior
Marauder
Mercenary (from Legends of Carthage)
Monk
Noble (from Excalibur)
Nomad
Seer
Skald (from Excalibur)
Soldier
Thief
The book will also provide a fairly indepth history of the period and a period specific equipment section. Included in the equipment rules will be information on mounted combat without stirrups and a complete armor and weapons chart for wrought iron, the strongest metal of the dark ages.
As always, questions and comments welcome.

All legends all the time
Just got a preliminary look at the cover for the print edition of Legends of the Samurai. Man am I jazzed. It's that moment when some part of your mind kicks in and says "nothing unforseen is going to arise, the book will happen, its real".
I get the same feeling the day a PDF is released, but there's still something special about looking at a cover with the "sell text" on the back. A lot of times reading it makes you realize why you did the book in the first place and you know that a whole new group of people will get to see it and enjoy it.
Here's to the speedy approach of Gen Con
