Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.  We are a willing little pool of outsourcing availability   :)
Hey, I know it.

If anything what I'll MOST need is help when we get close to launch -- as a tiny company we are very dependent on word of mouth, so advocates from the community around the globe would be a HUGE help.

Can you give an estimate on what percentage of the book is done?

A really rough estimate?  Probably in the 50-80% range. It's hard to say, though, because a lot of that range is a range because there's some stuff that's *mostly* done but still needs to go some more rounds.

Definitely a REALLY rough estimate.  Is there a "hopeful" time-frame that we can beg for (say, fall 09)?  Or are you keeping it totally under wraps until we can start pre-ordering?

Oh, and will we be able to get PDFs along with our hard copies?  ('Cause I want to buy two hard copies and a PDF for quick-reference.)
I write, I game, I read.  I'm a nerd, married to a nerd, and I'm proud of it!

I AM NOT GIVING OUT A DATE REPEAT I AM NOT GIVING OUT A DATE if I give out a date I will be a lying liar and we will miss it. THAT IS THE CURSE.

Print+PDF bundles will definitely exist.

I am sensing a desire in you to give out a date. (Waves hand, Jedi-style) You want to tell us the release date.  ;)

I am glad you are unwilling to give a release date....I know firsthand about the curse...as for word of mouth I will be glad to let everyone I know about the game/book! I can hardly wait myself but I know the wait will be worth it.

I ALREADY know about 5 or 6 Dresden fans just waiting for me to buy!

Any chance there will be a preview at Origins 2009?

I run a semi-annual local gaming get together in a store in my area (The Owner of the shop asked me to specifically not mention his Store or the local it is in. I am respecting his wishes. I will simply say I heard his reasons and understand completely.) either way, I get in contact with about a hundred gamers and I get the ability to advertise before the 10 games are started. I am completely willing to use this to publicize your game. (it has a better chance of being done in time than my D20 Homebrew. *laughs*) Either way. If that's cool with you guys I would need something to hand out. maybe a image. synopsis. whatever...I don't care too much.

That was fantastic, Iago. Who actually wrote that? Group effort?

I've been exposed to Rob's style elsewhere and I think I can see his fingerprints on it, but there's others involved I don't know of, so I can't be sure.  In any case, hats off to you all for the writing, the honesty, and balls to put it all out and say "This is the way it is."
