I just looked at the link, and it's great. I am really looking forward to Ultimate Factions. Will any of the rules from Ultimate Intrigue play a role in it?
I haven't seen the final version to say for sure, but from my conversations with Ben I'll say *yes*. :)
But what's going on in the cover art with that poor tied-up dragon-man/whatever the heck he is?
I would venture to say they are in opposing factions. :)

I think I can back Jason up on that.
Let's see... rules to convert faction stat blocks into Organisational Influence stat blocks, and sample faction stat blocks for the organisations presented in the Influence subsystem (and at least some of the Villain Codex groups, but they're a little harder to get right, and much less well-defined, so it takes a while and I really want to get the file off to Jason as soon as my group have finished picking the rules apart).
That's the biggest intersection of Ultimate Influence and factions, and because of the way a PC can interact with an organisation/faction using the Ultimate Intrigue rules, and a faction can interact with a kingdom, you can end up in the situation where your PC who has absolutely nothing to do with kingdom rulership can (for example) change the kingdom's taxation edict.
As for the cover, my headcanon says that the dragon-guy is a loyal supporter of the ruling council and the woman is a master politician who's trying to take over from the inside, and caught dragon-guy spying on her and is using him as an example of the high-handed and oppressive behaviour of the council.
Mister Nelson, Mister Walklate, thank you for those explanations. They make me even more eager to get a copy of this.
Is there any best guesstimate on how long before Ultimate Factions goes on sale?

My pleasure, Eric, and since I created this account specifically so I can talk about Ultimate Factions, I'm very happy to do so.
As for how long, that's something only Jason will be able to answer and probably only after he's got the file (my Saturday night from 8.00 GMT is pegged for working on it, so I'm living the dream), so that he knows where it needs to fit into the process.

Turnaround shouldn't take too long, so as long as I get the file fairly soon we should be able to get it out this month!
It seems like Strange-Aeons plug-ins would be a natural for LG.

Fairly soon will be either today (if the single giant table, US English spell check, and deleting of to do list goes smoothly), or tomorrow (if it doesn't).

A question regarding the Mythic Monster Mega bundle. Is this more than just a pdf bundle? Because if I put it in my cart, there are around 8$ of shipping cost included in the total price calculation.
Now given that the shipping cost for a single Mythic Monster issue is calculated with around 13$, I assume that there's a glitch in the shop software. But as that's the reason I'd rather have everything in pdf form, I'd rather ask beforehand if there's anything in this bundle that would be actually shipped overseas, causing the additional shipping cost?

That would be a glitch of some sort, as it's all PDFs. Thanks for letting me know. I've gone into the back end of the shop and fixed it, so try again and it should go through with no shipping.

While it's not specifically Strange Aeons, they did just do one PDF covering and expanding on the rules for madness and insanity from Ultimate Horror. And more than one of the Gothic Grimoires PDFs work fine with cosmic horror.

For your convenience, we actually went ahead and made a Mythos product category for supplements that would fit quite divinely in a campaign with Lovecraftian elements.
