[FGG] Dunes of Desolation (coming soon)

[mach1.9pants]

Yes, sorry should have put Tom and the crew. Can't be many great RPG books that are a one man job! I have enjoyed reading it though I don't play Pathdfinder, as much as I love reading RPG crunch I just don't play it - but the "fluff" is inspiring and easy to drag into my 5E game

I don't think there are too many one man projects these days. The toughest part about that is constantly switching gears. That's why I now do the adventures first, while I'm in that mode and then switch to the monsters, fluff and then crunchy parts.

Been reading through Dunes of Desolation. Awesome job Tom. The amount of material and detail is fantastic. This puts Glades and Dead Man's Chest to shame. It was amusing to see a creature that can neuter your character. ;-)

Also the art for the monsters was well done. I notice some FGG products get monster art and some don't.

When the next book coming out?

Thanks, I really appreciate that. The plains book, Fields of Blood is done and in the development stage. I don't know the release date, but I would presume that it's sometime early 2015. Fields is actually bigger than Dunes, as the third adventure is more than 50K words and the second adventure is in the 40K range. I think it really brings the plains to life and has some good Native American/Mongol feel to it with some other elements as well. The plains won't be plain any more.

Looking forward to Fields of Blood.

I wonder if a Tome of Horror V is on the horizon for next year. Not enough big monster books. ;-)

Tom - Any new snake monsters for the plains book? ;)

Hi lastgrasp. As Tom mentioned, Fields of Blood is currently in development. I would guess it will be released somewhere in the time frame of our upcoming Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms KS much as Dunes of Desolation came out with our Barakus KS (I think, it was either that or the Sword of Air KS, can't remember which one). Anyway, early 2015 is the right idea.

Tome of Horrors 5 is in the cards but probably not next year. Unfortunately, despite the clamor we receive for big monster books, TOH4 did not sell all that well. So we'll probably put some space in between the monster book releases to avoid any kind of market fatigue. We're just not big enough to sustain losses on very many books before it starts to hit our production capabilities. In the meantime, we've still got a lot of Tome of Horrors 4 available. ;-) Probably a couple of years before we do Tome 5 unless demand suddenly picks up dramatically.

Although it might end up doubling up for S&W, there are a lot of options for ToH5 in Monstrosities that haven't seen a Pathfinder version.

*production capabilities waves hi*

[DaveMage]

All hail FGG's production capability!

TOH 4 Kicked some serious posterior. I wonder if it was just put out "too close" to the TOH Complete?

Wait . . . does that mean my TOH Complete now is incomplete? What's the world coming to? There's no reason to live!!! Where's my canoe?!?!?!?!?

I told him he shouldn't keep that canoe on the edge of a cliff.
