This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: urbwar;757759Gotcha. I don't really follow Rogue games much, as I was just interested in Shadow, Sword & Spell. I totally missed that they even planned on working with CC.

But to get back on track; anyone pick this up yet? I've only skimmed my ks copy, but I like what I see. Need to set aside time to delve into it more
Reading the beta material from the KS updates atm. Obviously it's  a raw document but I like what I am reading so far and plan to pick up a print copy.

Not sure I'm equally keen on the artwork previews on the Facebook page, to be honest. There's quite a number of "anatomically compromised" figures, especially the ones by Douthitt. It won't withhold me from purchasing the book, though.

Quote from: Hodgson;757325Definitely agree that early days at c7 had some big issues. Products were being announced and made available for preorder way before there was any chance of fulfilling them.  Since the end of 2011 we've only opened preorders when a book goes to print, which is definitely a big step forward. (There's been one exception to that - The Doctor Who Limited Edition, since we needed to check demand before it went to press in order to finalise the exact spec)

One slight correction - we said we were hoping to get a Doctor sourcebook out every *other* month. Just over a year since The First Doctor Sourcebook came out The Sixth Doctor Sourcebook is waiting the final green light to go out to subscribers in PDF. We have certainly had some delays on print, largely necessitated by the need to change printer to ensure consistent quality. But that has also meant we have a solid queue of completed work ready to go.

Cubicle 7 certainly hasn't been free from delays in the last couple of years, but with the shift in focus away from print partnerships, which we've slowly and quietly wound down over the last couple of years, things are definitely improving year on year. Licensed games always come with delay, simply the nature of the beast, and we're still a small company so it's hard for us to soak those delays with a deferred release schedule, but we doubled releases of "home grown" c7 material in 2012 and again in 2013, so we're moving in the right direction. There's still plenty to achieve and improve on.

I'm really excited to see the fruits of bringing in Andrew Kenrick, former editor of White Dwarf, start to appear this summer.  He's doing great work.

Ok, well, I stand corrected on the Doctor Who sourcebooks.  I'm glad to hear you're trying to slow down a bit to focus on reliability.  Quality has never been a problem for C7, they put out great stuff, but I always thought it was needlessly silly to be constantly late on delivering stuff.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Do you think they'll have the books printed soon?

I've been told that I'll have print copies in hand by mid to late July, so that I can send out to KS backers before GenCon, with print available on or before the con itself.

I'm definitely hoping that's the case!
