I'd say about 10-15k of the book will be devoted to the warlock. That piece is currently being written.
Some folks have asked about the status of this project. I had to push back the kickstarter due to several freelancing commitments. We are going to start releasing information about the book as a series of blog posts from the main author, Timothy Brannan, in January on the Misfit Studios blog. I've lined up books from Morgan Boehringer and Megan Robertson, as well, so they will post information about their projects too.
I'm VERY excited about this project, and I hope you will be as well. I want to get the word out leading into the kickstarter, which I expect to go live late Feb or early March, depending on where we stand with our promotional information at that time.
This is going to be a HUGE book. HUGE, I say. :)
Thanks for posting.
I have been wondering...and waiting.
Glad this is moving forward!
Tim Brannan will be blogging about this on the 7th. The kickstarter will go live once I have the cover art in.
Tim Brannan's post on the book's inspiration is up on the Misfit Studios blog. Tim will be writing a few blog posts on the topic. If you have questions, please ask here or on the blog. Misfit Studios has a Facebook page, as well, where you can post.
Well Christina, i do hope you like the stuff i wrote for Morgan's stretch goal stuff.

Adding that Morgan Boehringer, Forest Guardian Press publisher and author of the gauntlet witch for Kobold Press, named the Strange Brew series. Morgan will be writing about battle witches in his own book in this series.
Megan Robertsom my co-author on Way of the Witch (Citizen Games), will be doing a Book of Shadows.
Sounds very cool still looking forward to this book and the Book of Shadows
Thanks! I'm quite confident Megan will provide an interesting Book of Shadows. :)
I'm waiting on the cover artwork and my logo at the moment. I'm pushing for early Feb. Glad you are interested.
Tim Brannan will continue to provide posts about what his approach is for this book in the meantime.

I have some cover art! A blog post goes up tomorrow. We will go live Feb 1st.
Looking forward to it and can't wait for the Kickstarter!!!
Demons, Devils and the like are always an option. But I also want to have support of all sorts of Patrons of Power. So ancient Fey, mysterious beings from beyond the stars, eldritch spirits and I am even toying with the idea of ancient primal dragons.
Patrons have a 1000 reasons to want a human servant.
So yes, you can play a wicked witch, but also neutral witches and good witches.
Tim's got another blog post on the Misfit Studios blog. The cover art by Peter Bradley is up on the post, as well. Check it out! I personally think it's gorgeous. :)
Btw, what kind of pledges would you like to see on this kickstarter? I've modeled this more after Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary, but I'm open for suggestions.
How different will the Warlock and Witch be from one another in abilities and the role they play in the game ?

I've modeled this more after Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary, but I'm open for suggestions.I think in general the levels which GR used for the Advanced Bestiary were both reasonable and fair, although if you are planning 'package deal' pledges (such as GR:AB's 'Freeport Beast'), a sub-level for limited-time snatch-em-up's would be nice- although hardly necessary.
Is it February yet?
As Bite Me! Is going into editing, I could do a deal like that for those who missed out on that book. Anyone interested in that?
Witches and Warlocks will be similar but they have some distinct roles to play in the game.
Not wanting to give out too much but here is how I think of it.
Witches are granted power where Warlocks take it.
Looking foreword to seeing "Battlewitches and Hexcrafters"....hope the release is soon.

My buddy Morgan will be blogging about his intentions on that piece soon. He is listed as a stretch goal. If it doesn't reach that level, I will try yo fund that through another venue separately.
This goes live tomorrow.

Happy Imbolc..

What does this mean ?
It means if the Strange Brew: Ultimate Witches and Warlocks Kickstarter does not reach the stretch goal Strange Brew: Battlewitches and Hexcrafters is set at, then Christina will try to publish it separately.
Once the Kickstarter is live, we will know more...

We are LIVE: Strange Brew: The Ultimate Witch & Warlock.
hmmm.....interesting...
Are stretch rewards only for the highest tiers?
Looks like you can start getting stretch goals at the $50 level.

I wouldn't mind a digital only tier with stretch goals. It would be expensive having a physical copy sent here to Italy, but I could give some more euros for PDF and stretch goals.

I'll add that. Also, I am open to hearing other tier suggestions.

New choice for pdfs of everything added.
Thank you so much Christina!

AAANNNNDDDD backed :)
... ok, just saw (or maybe I read it wrong) that the original Bite Me! was only available HC in limited quantities. Hmm. Well, a Hardcover SB:UW&W + Softcover Bite Me! would also be cool.
Hey, I can provide another level for an HC version. If you want all-out Bite Me! (meaning the 4 other pdfs) I'll be giving the backers for free from the project, then those could be added in as well.
Let me know, and I'll get you a pledge level made.
And backed.
And backed.
Thanks! :)
Looking good Christina!
Any idea where the stretch goals are at? ;p
I haven't put the amounts up yet for those. I just listed you and Megan as doing stretch goals. I'll reveal them next week. :) Meanwhile, let's get the momentum going! Tim's checking with someone who may help make that happen for us.

The first stretch goal is for Owen Stephens to write the Talented Witch, will be available for free to all the $35+ backers!
