Here's a forum exclusive, a look at one of the Professions.

We're doing the last round of photographs, getting the Samsut minis done. Everything else is in place and ready to go for the Minis Corebook. I should be able to post a galley of the cover in the next few days. The RPG Players Guide is in layout and I've got the first galleys back on that. I'll try ...

The 1879 Minis Corebook is in the final stages of layout.

The Priest and Shaman both have strong possibilities as player characters. The Priest (regardless of faith) gets banishing, healing, and protective abilities. Dependent upon the tenets of the faith, the Priest may be able to do quite a few other things. The Shaman gets the ability to summon both spi...

I was surprised that the magical healer / combat buff Priest wasn't as popular. The Shaman is a little complicated, what with the spirit summoning thing, and so I didn't expect it to be as popular in the demos. I expected the Weird Scientist to be well received, but the response was much more enthus...
