Is KS reading my reviews? This one seems to have succinct updates until the usual merch blurt for 30 pages. And now, on with the hard work.
-------------------------------------
“By Kevin Siembieda®
Whew, so much has been going on. We got Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook to the printer and I have already approved the printer’s proof, been working Chaos Earth® Resurrection, Gen Con prep, Gen Con exclusives, and more! Read on for the latest, though I’m going to try to keep this fairly short. There is so much to do before Gen Con. And nothing goes easy. Nothing. Grrrr.
Our first Flash Sale starts today. It is the Wake the Dead sale – zombies and the supernatural. I was going to make it Rifts®, but this type of limited, one weekend only sale is something new for us and I didn’t want to start with a big Rifts® sale as the very first offering. The Rifts® Hardcore Flash Sale will be next weekend (the RUE RPG and 12 other “core” titles!), with different Rifts®, Robotech® and other game line flash sales to follow in the weeks ahead. Yes, it is the 25th anniversary of Rifts® and the 30th for Robotech®, but we’ll try to make most game lines part of this celebration over the next couple of months (especially since I didn’t think of it for Palladium Fantasy® or Heroes Unlimited’s 30th anniversaries). Not all sales will be a steep 50% off, but they will all range from 30%-50% so keep your eyes peeled!”
Gencon prep and exclusives seems so last week. In fact I thought it was. Until the exclusives gets extended.
Wasn’t Christmas in July the 1st?
“…but lets lead-off with Flash Sales starting with Christmas in July!” – KS 25/06/2015.
Hardcore, he he, punny.
Anniversary you say?
“Wake the Dead – Flash Sale – July 17, 18 & 19, 2015 – Friday, Saturday and Sunday ONLY – All Dead Reign® titles and Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG HALF PRICE
For one weekend only,
(An insider’s tip: Wayne doesn’t always take the sale down till sometime the next day, so a lot of times you can sneak in a last minute purchase within 8-24 hours after the sales has officially ended. As a couple of people discovered after the Christmas in July Sale ended. Keep your eyes peeled for Rifts® and/or Robotech® Flash Sales coming next week and in August.)”
Here Slacker Bus, let me introduce you to “missed take down deadline” Wayne. Which is different from Kevin “1 week extension” Siembieda®
“NEW! Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook – At the printer – Ships July 29
The 160 page Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook is at the printer. We worked all weekend and basically pulled an all nighter,….
I meant to post about the book going to the printer and the long weekend as a Murmur from the Megaverse® on Monday (started writing it Sunday!) but then the week got away from me, and Wayne, Chuck and I were all pretty burnt out on Monday. The first part of the week is a blur.”
Are murmurs still happening? Must be an August release, after being burnt out at the beginning of the week.
Last murmur was June 7th.
“UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Resurrection™
This book is back into full swing production with editing and rewrites underway. Art has been assigned. I approved a few sketches this week. I’ve got Chuck Walton, Mark Dudley, Tanya Ramsey and Apollo Okamura working on art right now. I have not been able to work on the manuscript as much as I have hoped this week, but it’s coming along and is a pretty sweet book. You guys will love it. August release.”
Back off the back burner. Dude, you do not work on anything as much as you want and still work so hard. It was clear this was on the back burner till robo-marines went out the door. You can tell us this, unless you do not see things that way.
“UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™
We have a telephone conference with the manufacturing broker next week to discuss a number of Wave Two related details. Rules, stats and other things are also coming your way. Working on a number of things related to this game line.
We are posting images of the convention exclusives as they become available. Grell was posted this week and Breetai should be available next week. We’re trying to get a painted sample for each one in time for the event, but Breetai may be cutting it close. We’ll see.
Deadline extension for Kickstarter backers to acquire convention exclusives (new and old). Because we have been taking longer than we’d hoped to post the final stats and related rules to these special releases, we have extended the deadline to August 15, 2015. (And if necessary, we may extend it again. We don’t want backers to get left out.)”
It’s his middle name. I do not see how their being behind effects peoples desire to pre order product. Not being in the kickstart I do not know how pimped this gets over there to know if extending it is legit or just tapping the mic and asking if it’s on.
“Closing thoughts
My thanks to those of you who participated in the Christmas in July sale, and had such kind words to say. I hope you enjoy the smaller flash sales just as much. I have a half dozen already plotted out.
This was a week of ups and downs. We were happy and excited to get Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ finished and to the printer. It’s an excellent new edition to the Robotech® game line and should please a great many people. And we will have it in time for Gen Con. I had delusions of having an advance copy ofChaos Earth® Resurrection™ at Gen Con as well, but that’s not going to happen. A number of minor problems cropped up this week, but a number of other things panned out nicely. The worst part of the week was finding out that the wife of a very dear friend is seriously ill. It’s a frightening situation and our hearts and prayers go out to her and the family. They are still waiting for word from the doctors, but optimism is running high. Makes you realize, again, that it is people and all the things that bring us joy, that are truly important. Have a wonderful weekend.
– Kevin Siembieda®, Game Designer, Writer, Publisher”
Chaos earth to miss Gencon. This was strongly hinted when is it was dropped from the Gencon list in the July 9th update.
