Here’s a sneak peek at something we’re working on here at HFP.

This will be released as a plot spot, but may end up also being a preview item for the Kolrath campaign setting.

I really need to update more often.

Okay, so here’s what’s going on:

The due date for the Pulp and Steampunk Kandris Seal manuscripts is rapidly approaching. I’m really looking forward to seeing them. Once I’ve got them in hand and I’ve looked over them, I’ll start looking for artwork for them. Hooray!

I’m still working on the updating of the Kandris Seal. It is going very slowly due some other considerations. I have not yet decided how I’m going to handle updates for people who have already purchased TKS. Some people will get a revision for free, but I’m not sure at what point the cut off wll be.

I’m also working on a new project for the Plot Spot line, called Dorgen’s Glen. More info on that as it progresses.

Finally, I have started up a podcast called the World of Lisacraft, where I talk about world creation for fiction and role playing games. The first episode is available for download, and the next episode comes out next week. It’s listed at iTunes (do a search for Lisacraft andyou’ll find it), or if you’re using another podcatcher program, you can get the feed link from the website.

RPGNow.com, and their companion site the Edge, is one of the world’s leading online retailer of pdf’s and other electronic media for the role playing game industry. We sell our products through them (on the Edge). On the main page of RPGNow, there’s a listing of hot sellers, and today, Inn of the Singing Cat is #9 on the Edge Hot Sellers list.

It’s May, and time for an update.

The Kandris Seal

The second edition of The Kandris Seal was scheduled to be released in April, but that is obviously not happening. Chronic illness caused all kinds of havoc with our schedule. However, the new material is almost complete. With the time needed to get the manuscript approved by Hero Games, we anticipate an August release.

Horrific Pastimes

This has been put on hold.

Kolrath

We’ve decided to split the core rule book into two parts. The Player’s Guide will be published under the OGL (possibly the d20 license, depending on how things end up), and will contain just about all the information you need to play the game. The Game Master’s Guide will contain more detailed information about the setting. Prices and the release date for these are still to be determined.

Merchants’ Quarter

Our next release for the Merchants’ Quarter line is Scarlet Security, a trapmaker and security specialist.

Plot Spots

Next on the list is an as yet unnamed underground temple.

Symbol Catalogs

Our next symbol catalog is about 3/4 done, and is a set of Mayan-style stone heads.

Later this week, we’ll be releasing the next product in our Plot Spots line, called “The Inn of the Singing Cat”. This fully detailed inn and tavern is 19 pages long, with detailed stat blocks for 18 NPC’s, maps of the four floors of the inn, and 22 adventure hooks.

The Inn of the Singing Cat Plot Spot includes this PDF and the Campaign Cartographer Pro files of the maps. There are also two additional downloads: a zip file with color copies of all the maps, and second zip file with PDFs suitable for printing out the maps to a 1” = 10’ scale. The scale maps are in both color and black and white, and with or without a grid.
