Things are progressing well. Work continues on Kobolds of the Frostwind Forest, and art is coming in for Steam, Savants and the Kandris Seal.

The future d20 publishing schedule for HFP is kind of up in the air right now because of the introduction of D&D 4th Edition. It’s likely we won’t know what the true terms of the license will be until June 6th. With all kinds of rumors and unsubstantiated statements being made, we prefer to not make any decisions until we can actually see the license. Until then, we will continue with our current plans, and explore options with other game systems.

Early May will see the publication of our latest project, Kobolds of the Frostwind Forest. Written by Mark Charke, Kobolds is a setting book with a twist: a mostly wilderness setting, with a tribe of kobolds unlike any you’ve seen before.

From the book:

The kobolds of Frostwind Forest were just a nuisance until ten years ago when they began to change. These changes went unnoticed at first and now it is simply too late to undo them. The question is now how to deal with significantly more sophisticated kobolds.

This book is designed so that it can be inserted into any campaign setting. It is assumed there is a mountain near the forest. The book refers to the nearby town of Cliffside, outside of the forest, but this could be any city. Every name, except Frostwind, is a name from the kobold language. This conveniently allows the Game Master to insert this product into any existing forest near a mountain without having to rename everything or explain why there are different names for locations. Further the kobolds have not been active outside of the forest for ten years, allowing an explanation for the sudden discovery of kobolds in a previously quiet nearby forest.

Not only does Kobolds of Frostwind Forest include write-ups of the forest and its prominent inhabitants, but a dictionary of the kobold language, as created by Mark Charke. In addition, he has recorded the language and the mp3 files will be available for free download upon publication of the book.

Savants, Steam and the Kandris Seal has now entered the final stages of layout, and artwork is coming in. We managed to get the services of Storm Kerr for this project, and you’ll see an example of his work to the left of this text. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger version of the picture.

We don’t have a firm date for the release of the d20 (3.5 e) version of the book, but it should be out by Gen Con in both pdf and hopefully print format.

Stay tuned for further developments.

One of the things we’re working on right now is a new symbol catalog for CC3. It’s going to be used in a future project, but since we’re making it up anyway, we figured we might as well make it available to our customers.

When it’s finished, it’ll be a complete catalog, with everything from natural features to man-made structures to resource symbols. The plan is to make it comparable to the symbol sets released by ProFantasy in scope, and will contain both black and varicolor versions of each symbol.
