Revised Product Schedule

We've been feeling the effects of our busy summer convention schedule for the last few months. More and more books started looking like they'd hit at the end of their announced month, which is not the most desirable option. We're thus going to shift our whole schedule back by one month, so we can get books out at the beginning of the month instead of the end. Our revised schedule now looks like this:

November: Mutants & Masterminds and the Witch's Handbook (both at print now)
December: Plot & Poison, Spaceship Zero, Ultramodern Firearms
January: Denizens of Freeport, Freedom City
February: Skull & Bones, the Avatar's Handbook

Wrath & Rage In Stores Now!

It's true, Orcs and Orclets--time to head to your local gamestore and pick up your copy of Wrath & Rage: A Guidebook to Orcs by Jim Bishop. What if your local gamestore doesn't have it? Ask them to order you one! What if you don't have a local gamestore? Go to your local bookstore to get it--that's right, you can get our books at regular old bookstores, even in malls in Florida (the Webmaster just got back from vacation there). What if they don't have it? They can order you one through Ingram. Easy as pie, which we hear tell orcs are fond of.
