While I'm here, I thought I'd post an update on our various projects...
The principal development stage for THE MODERN PATH 3.0 is almost complete. I'm currently working on the factions chapter, which is proving to be a rather arduous task. Once that's done, aside from some spit and polish, the main body of the manuscript will be ready to either go directly to editing or out for a limited public Beta playtest release. If we skip the public Beta, then I can start looking towards production. Given the sheer size of the project, I'm guessing it's still at least a year out. Yeah, I said that last year, too. We'll see.
Production has officially begun on SISTERS OF RAPTURE for 5th Edition, but work has stalled due to other obligations and the fact that T.Catt can't decide how to handle the artwork. It's a small enough book that he could, possibly, do it all himself, but with his busy schedule, that will likely mean further delay. We've done some work into finding artists for it, but given the adult nature of the project, finding the right people has been difficult.
In the meantime, T.Catt is in the early planning stages of an SISTERS OF RAPTURE ANNIVERSARY EDITION. This book would revise the PFRPG edition of the class and expand the book, adding considerably more splat content, especially in the monsters chapter. That book, too, would require new some new art. We're thinking that this book might be large enough to our first hard cover release. We'll see how that goes. September 2018 is the original SoR's 10th anniversary, so we actually have something of a deadline for this one.
Along with the release of THE MODERN PATH 3.0 will come a revision of SISTERS OF RAPTURE: THE MODERN PATH to conform it with the new 3.0 rules. In this case, it will be the same as the current book, just with revised rules content. Likely the TMP version of THE SENSITIVE will be revised as well. Once TMP3 is released, TMP2 (currently still sold by Game Room Creations) and all of our related TMP2 products will go out of print.
Other previously announced SISTERS OF RAPTURE projects, including BEAUTIES & BEASTS and THE BOOK OF DIVINE LOVE have officially been cancelled. Some content from both of these books will be folded into the aforementioned SoR ANNIVERSARY EDITION.
FANTASTIC RACES (or The Fantastic Races Codex -I never could settle on a name), a book of original Pathfinder PC races I announced some years ago now, has basically been abandoned at this point, mostly because I wasn't really happy with the content. The whole book needs serious revision from the ground up, and since TMP3 came up, I haven't had the time to focus on it. It isn't cancelled, as I still feel there's potential there, it's just not on my radar at the moment.
THE DELUXE CHARACTER SHEET has likewise been cancelled, at least as a downloadable commercial product. I still have physical copies available which I sell at cons (if you'd like a copy or would like to know more about it, please let me know). Long story short, the sheet is so long and complicated that making it form-fillable was a near-impossible, Hellish nightmare, and I'm not willing to sell the sheet without that feature.
And finally, I am considering putting together versions of the FANTASTIC ADVENTURE DECK for Starfinder and D&D 5th Edition. The Adventure Deck hasn't been a great seller for me (at least online -I sold out of them at GenCon 2016), so I'm not terribly motivated to work on this one, but it's still something I'm considering, should time allow for it.
So that's where we stand. Hopefully, I'll be able to share good news with you soon regarding progress on one or more of these. Thanks for reading!
