Btw, if you feel so inclined (remembering this is unofficial and that Bruce et al. can't charge money for the book) you can always donate by paypal at:

bbaugh@mac.com

I'm gonna try to figure out how to use paypal for a non ebay purchase...I encourage everyone to do the same if only to point out to WW that giving up the Trinity line was a mistake (and encourage Bruce & others to include artwork or even print some of their stuff..or produce some Adventure! books!!!)

Wow! is right, I tip my hat to Baugh and the rest they did a great job considdering they did it in their free time as i understand it. Still i would have loved to have seen AsAs come to print, i could only imagine what the art would have been like and it's always nice to add another book to the collection on the shelf!

Just had a "flick through" so to speak.

It looks polished in the normal Bruce Baugh type of way. Shame that there is no artwork in the book, and that it is just simple text. But some interesting revelations in there all the same.

I still can't believe they canned the line, but by the looks of things, they may do the same to Exalted. I reckon that Swords and Sorcery is a far more viable line than any non-WoD games that WW can hope to produce. The Warcraft 3 game is a coup indeed (despite my loathing of D20 - I am considering buying it.)

Nope, paypal as far as I know is the only way to send money to Bruce short of mailing him a check (which would imply his giving out his home address to weird fans all over the world...I don't think it'll happen...) If you've got a credit card I suggest getting a paypal account if only to give yourself access to ebay...I actually did all my holiday shopping online this year. More choice, cheaper, more convenient and they sell new stuff on ebay despite the "auction" aspect of it.

purchase example: My father sails...I bought him GPS compatible software compiling all East Coast NOAA charts (marine navigational charts...) for 50US$...that's more than half retail price for a new product (shipped in box) which I wouldn't have found in the shops here anyway!

anyway...it'd allow you to encourage poor writers do what they do best as well...

As for the dead line bit...the line isn't dead as long as ebooks keep churning out. I'm still waiting with anticipation for India Underground. :)

paypal works if you don't have a credit card too. you can use your bank account for money transfers as well. fairly easy to set up and figure out and i've never had any problems with it.

i've still only had the time to sit and do a preliminary flip through, so i haven't quite read it all yet.

Well, White Wolf cancelled it because it wasn't making any money anymore. I wish they hadn't, but I'm not terribly surprised, nor do I blame them.

Cancel Exalted? Where'd you get an idea like that? Exalted's their fastest-selling game since Vampire. Twice a year they put out a new hardcover for it. I think it's going to do just fine.

In any case, there are still many of us ready and willing to continue pumping out Aeon Continuum products indefinitely. (:

Thanks.....I actually started just before the crash, so my previous posts were lost!!!! I'll be posting some, I'm running a game right now (been running Aeon since it came out!!) so I'm sure I'll have some questions now and then.....

::bigsmile almost through.

One part seriously sucked though: "What Outsiders Already Know", Chapter 4, second page:

"When visting Asia, outsiders typically expect to find all the grandeur, wealth, and dreams that many 21st century Europeans now associate with the United States."

WHAT??! Like, when I tell any of my RPG-friends that the US turned fascist in Trinity, they go "aren't they already?" (I know this is cynicism)

We Europeans associate grandeur, wealth and dreams with the US of today ??!

Come on Bruce, James, John, you should know better than that.

Topic change: Mental Landscapes

Isn't that exactly like in the movie "The Cell"? But it's cool! (A bit like the holodeck idea in star treck - letting you explore fantastic settings right around the corner)

Heya,

I understand the sentiments, however....

Hockay, AsAs will not be posted on EON. A bit of an explanation why. first and foremost, I'm avoiding things like canonical material being posted on EON - a tack I've always taken, please see the new e-book guidelines posted on the site this week. Secondly, it already has a home of course ;)

As for a layout, there are a couple of excellent pdf's already done on Bruce's site that you can go and download. (I mean, its free, how cool is the guy - go donate cash!).

Just' so's people aren't somewhat surprised in the relatively near future (after reading this post), I will say this however. I am involved in a personal project to do a colour layout of AsAs , for Bruce to host on his site. This is for personal interest only, and two other people who I know well are involved - this is something I'm keeping completely seperate from EON, again for reasons I've mentioned above.

So, just to round up, this isn't something I'll be doing on here.

Now, if you want to get writing and drawing for e-books, we have plenty on the go!, give harlequin a shout, and she'll put you in touch with the various project developers. We'd love to have you onboard :)

yep, if anyone wants to get onto an e-book contact me and i'll put in touch with the developer. i can't guarentee that you'll get on the project, but it's worth a shot. ultimatily it's up to the dev about how many people they need, etc. i'm also the person to talk to about starting new projects. feel free to pm me or get me on my staff email, harlequin@chill.uk.net ::biggrin

it's almost completely written, a few pieces are missing here and there and the rest is being edited. in short i have no idea how long that will take as that everyone on the team is doing this on their spare time with very busy lives. but yes, it is moving and kicking. ::smile
