Hiya,

Since Mists of Betrayal was not released for ED3, and since there's no need for ED3 GMs to look at the Revised Edition GM's Guide, no point in holding this book back (since it works with both ED3 and EDR).

Take kaer, James

LMAO, releasing in wrong order! but seriously at least give us an indicative date/month to expect the GM book

Not really in the wrong order. It was an easy release and no sense in holding it back. The EDR GM's Guide has slipped to Q2. There is a possibility that it might make end of Q1 (in PDF), but that is subject to the vagaries of what we lovingly call "real life" (which gets in the way more than one likes, alas).

Cool, thanks for date update (darn, not quite making a pun out of that). Looking forward to it, ive swung my group out of its endless love affair with D20 and they are already gagging for more ED sessions after the first couple i did using 2nd Ed. Want the GM book so i can feel im running correctly rather than with a mishmash of what ive read online and the 3rd ed players ive got.

What we would like to see is new material, did you thought about funding new sourcebooks with Kickstarter ? This has recently been a successfull way for a lot of RPG publishers. You could hire somone with a given target, and send new impulses ? I would like to have a Landis sourcebook anyway.

I get where you are coming from. However, the ED3 books are all but out of print (we have some print titles left on the FASA Online Shop and some retailers have copies). EDR is the print successor to ED3, continuing what was in the RedBrick pipeline before Earthdawn went back to FASA. In terms of waiting for the EDR GM's Guide, I'm sorry about that (it's being worked on), but if there are a lot of Earthdawn gamers with ED3 who can pickup Mists of Betrayal, for example, and run with it. Might sound like the EDR gamers are getting the short end of the stick -- it's not intentional, and I'm sorry if it comes over that way.

So is there is list of planned books for '13 somewhere?

There isn't a schedule for Earthdawn releases at this time, sorry.

it's quarter 2 now. Is there anything firmer on the EDR GM guide? I don't have ED3 and eagerly await the new book. I have just started my family on ED and am dying to run Mists of Betrayal. Was one of my favorites fifteen years ago...
