Awesome. A much needed resource. Will you be doing a video on the new release?
Your output of rulesets/settings never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you very much!

I plan to dedicate part of my upcoming 5000 subscriber livestream (probably Wednesday night) to talking/answering questions about the book. And once my author copies arrive I'll do a review.

I'm definitely buying this after my finances return to normal (vacation in a week). I know you've been churning out content after content... but I wanted to ask Pundit... I know Invisible College and Sword & Caravan were two projects discussed for a while on here. Two major books. Now that they are finished and seeing the light of day, do you have an idea (or willing to share) the next book/setting you plan to work on? Just more curious to see what your ideas are, what's possibly interesting you at the moment.

Can't wait to dig into Sword & Caravan.

Looks spectacular! But man, these POD prices are getting brutal.

Well, the next things you're likely to see out in print are going to be more issues of RPGPundit Presents, a short rule-related supplement to Sword & Caravan (which will also be usable in any other OSR context), and maybe the next Spectre Press compilation, which would be the second Last Sun book (the "Gonzo Gaming Sourcebook").
The next sort of big project I'm working on is only in the very initial stages, but it will be set in Poland in the 11th century, during the conflict there between Christians and Pagans. But that one's not likely to come out until next year.

Thank you, for writing this book.  I am pitching a Crusades/Silk Road-themed game to my group.  My hope is to get them to try Lion & Dragon as the base ruleset.

In other news, Sword & Caravan is on the top ten of general hot seller titles, number 1 on the OSR hot seller titles, and is already a Copper Bestseller!

Gladly bought since I was looking for something like this for a future campaign idea.

...C-can't...s-stop...r-reading..it...

One of my favorite passages, p.189.
"9 A statue, probably of some great king, though only parts of it may remain (like two trunkless legs)."

I see what you did there!

I'm pretty proud of the various random generators in the book.

Anyways, please share the news on your social media!

Based on the last thing my publisher told me, it will come to Amazon, and should be available there in a couple of weeks.
