Q: Did the dates on new products slip?
A: Yes. More on this below.
Q: When can I order?
A: Ordering on all of the new products above can start now.
Q: How can I order? Do I still go through Chaosium, or through
Green Knight?
A: Chaosium will take all orders for Pendragon, as they have for the past decade, and, as fate and fortune will, for the next decade and more. Please call Chaosium 510-595-2440, or visit their site at http://www.chaosium.com to place orders direct, or contact your local retailer/distributor.
Q: Gimme! Gimme! When can I get my hands on these?
A: The first product, "Arthur: The Bear of Britain," *might* be due back from the printer to Chaosium by Christmas. But Christmas season, as we know,
can be chancy. More news on the others will follow in future updates.
Q: Anything else going out of stock soon?
A: Yes indeed! Order now to get 4th edition of the Pendragon main rules.
We have less than 400 in stock at the warehouse, and it might take a while to get a reprint turned-around.
Pagan Shore is also near out-of-stock (less than 150 in print). They'd make perfect gifts for anyone who'd like to explore ancient Britain and Ireland, respectively.
Q: Ack! Does this mean I will be gouged for another "new" edition?
A: Not to worry! Green Knight will *not* be signifcantly changing these products when they get reprinted, other than perhaps to swap the logos on the covers, so get your "collector's edition" Chaosium versions before they are all sold out. As well, price may be adjusted slightly on the reprinted works to account for inflation since originals were printed back in 1993/1994, so there will be a buck or two savings to get the current edition than wait for the reprint.
Q: Are there any *new* editions of any major rules planned?
A: Not in the first half of 1999 -- other than to bring to the world the
advent of the Saxon hordes! Moreso, we are concentrating on adding
new rich adventures than new rules. Most customer feedback has shown a
great love for the current system. People just want more ideas and
adventure hooks for now. New rules systems are under consideration
and development, but have not been scheduled for release yet.
