Sprocket Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Re: Chapter Two status-A sidebar on masterwork weapons (melee, thrown & non-firearm ranged) has been written up & posted for peer review. It's a bit more detailed than the similar note found in the Trinity Players Guide, as rules for creating masterwork weapons are given as well.EDIT: A second, smaller sidebar that provides rules for other kinds of masterwork items has also been written & posted for peer review.

Sprocket Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Re: Chapter Two status-Work on the expanded firearms listings has stalled due to a general lack of firearms knowledge on part of the Development Team. To help correct this impasse, a cattle call for Aberrant writers with such knowledge has been issued both here at EON Online & at RPG Post. We're hoping for the best.In the meantime, work has shifted focus to finishing up the Combat Styles section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 So if I checked it correctly, just five combat styles (besides the one you submitted) remain to be done, and the layout, before THF is completed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 So if I checked it correctly, just five combat styles (besides the one you submitted) remain to be done, and the layout, before AB:TNF is completed ?Actually, there are 8 combat styles left to do. Quantum Promise has been working on the 7 remaining RL styles & I'm working on the second/final Inspired style. QP has the easier job, given his experience with & knowledge of RL martial arts & such. I've got to create something plausible & workable out of the whole cloth! It's been tough going, but we'll get there. ::brick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 ::sad To be honest, I've no clue as Quantum Promise hasn't replied to any of my messages requesting a status report.

Is this the kind of time schedule we can expect before the book is finished (another six-eight months), barring RL interference ??Actually, it was the massive RL interference which caused the process to take so long in the first place. Since we won't be recreating the last RL styles from various media sources or the whole cloth (which is how we came up with the 2 Inspired styles), writing them up should (hopefully!) not take 6-8 months.As to how long the PDF conversion will take, I'm not even going to guess. Thankfully, spotting errors in a PDF document typically goes much faster than writing it up & fine-tuning the game mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 After that, what else is there left to do? How close are we?After the writing is finished, we will compile it & send it off to JessiLaurn for PDF conversion. In the process, all of us left on the Development Team will go over the material with the proverbial fine-toothed comb searching for spelling/grammar glitches & other, less obvious mistakes that need fixing. The pieces of artwork will also be inserted at this time. We've had the covers finished & ready for quite a while now, so they can just be plugged in.AFA a definite E.T.A. for the finished ebook, I'm not even going to try and make a prediction. That way lies only frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
