Hello!
I'm J Gray, line developer and writer for Flaming Crab Games. We've been pretty quiet this summer so I thought I'd drop a note and let everyone know what's going on.
Alex Able, owner, publisher, editor, writer, and layout artist for Flaming Crab Games got hit by a double whammy this summer. First, his computer died. Then he had to move. To make matters worse, even though he has a new computer and is done with the move, the cable company is being very slow in getting him hooked up to the internet.
That being said, we do have some exciting plans!
First up is Dragon's Horde. This fantastic book will be a toybox of new magic items in every category. Alex has decided to release Dragon's Horde as a series of three PDFs to be followed by a print edition combining all three books. Book 1, weapons, armor, and shields, is edited and we're aiming to get it released by the end of October.
Next up is Letters from the Flaming Crab. Each "issue" will cover a different topic, adding new options and new ideas to Pathfinder. Issue 1 covered Winged Cavalry and presented a new alternative base class, the Wind Warden (flying mounts from level 1!) as well as new cavalier orders, and expanded rules on flying, mounted combat.
Letters from the Flaming Crab #2 is titled 'Culinary Magic' and will present a new system that will allow characters to cook magic meals to boost themselves and their party. We're really excited about this one and expect to have it out in the beginning of September.
Letters from the Flaming Crab #3 is titled 'Wheel of the Year' and looks at the traditional, western pagan holidays: the full moon, Yule, Samhain, Mabon, Lughnasadh, Midsummer, Beltane, Ostara, and Imbolic. We'll be providing information on each holiday, rules on how magic is affected on those special days, and rituals that can only be performed on each holiday. Look for it at the end of September.
Finally, our Once Upon an Encounter series. Red Riding Hood did well. The Frog and the Scorpion didn't do as well, though I still think it is pretty neat.
The third book in the series, Once Upon an Encounter: Three Men in a Tub, will be a murder mystery and we're hoping to have it completed and published sometime this fall.
There are a few other projects in the works as well, though Alex knows more about them than I do so I can't announce them yet.
I want to thank everyone who has bought and/or reviewed a Flaming Crab Games product. You've really encouraged us to keep going.
As always, we are eager to hear from our readers. Please let us know what you liked and didn't like as well as what you would like to see (or not see) in the future.
Thank you!

Thanks a ton for doing an update, J. I wouldn't have been able to do one, myself.
In addition to the list from J, you guys will have to endure more punny spells from the "wizard" Bosco .
Also in development is Forgotten Classes, containing new classes (including the Divinist, General, Noble, and Shapeshifter) and class variants.
Will you have more archetype books in the works?
Yep! We'll either go back to releasing them in groups of 20 and/or we'll release the Archetype Compendium which will contain at least 150 of them.

Only 150? Slackers! It was 256 minimum when you were trying to fund it via kickstarter. I won't be satisfied until you have at least 65536 archetypes!

Very well. We'll look into the logistics of creating 65536 archetypes.
Excellent! There's some really neat cavalier orders in there, if I do say so myself. :)
