New and Reprint Product Plans

by Peter Corless


I decided to combine these into one listing for the sake of creating an overall product roadmap. The "Tales" books slid out of first quarter, and the whole product line backed up behind them, but not badly. We still look to do something like a product-per-month average this year.

Considering "Spring" is practically over, even if you consider stretching it generously until the end of June, that leaves precious little time to get four products into print...!

So this will be quite agressive to meet these dates. Good news is "To the Chapel Perilous" and "Tales of Chivalry & Romance" are well on their way to getting complete. I'd like to ensure these "Spring" products are all available for Origins (July 4th Weekend), The "Summer" releases, if I can manage, should be available by GenCon in August.

I have attempted aggressive schedules in the past, and, well, it's sometimes difficult to nail dates with the kind of time I can put in on this. I wasn't able to keep my Christmas promise, and so I'll be more cautious in a commitment to you today. What I really need is someone full-time to manage the day-to-day product line necessities.
