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.

From the sound of it, they're still untangling the legal knots.

I notice that the "placeholder" web page is still holding a place and nothing more. I really had hoped to hear something more concrete a little faster than this. Amber must really be the "smoke and mirrors" franchise of all time because it seems like whoever takes the helm we get the ship steering in circles.

Even if there is little to report, it would be nice to get some sense as to what and when we might see product written, forums created, input sought, or whatever. Some sort of "well, here's the general plan" with updates every month or two would be sort of nice.....

Especially, if they'd like real support from the Amber gaming community and fans of the chronicles in general!

I'm sure RPGPundit has extended an invitation for them to join the forums here by now ;)

I believe he asked eric to invite the new guys, but cant't say I'm sure.
Anyway, I agree, it was great to get this sense of motion and hope, and now, everything seems frozen anew. Reminds me of GooH :(

Hello all!

I'm Eric Todd, one of the folks behind Diceless By Design and the new edition of Amber. Edwin and I heard about the discussion here and would like to share a brief update. In short:

We're both highly devoted to creating a new edition of Amber DRPG and invigorating the Amber Community in the process. To this end, next month at AmberCon NW we'll be kicking off the new edition with an open discussion. At that point, we'll go over the general plan and gather input on what the new edition could or should be. The result of that face to face discussion will make its way on line and will form the starting point for forum discussion.

At the same time, we are currently in the process of sorting out the legal issues around publishing new Amber material. Considering Amber DRPG's history, it's important that this be clarified and cleanly resolved in a way that's agreeable to Erick, the Zelazny estate and Diceless By Design. We do not yet have a clear timeline for resolving this and until we do, we can't publish.

Finally, let me point out that both Edwin and I are full time professionals not full time game publishers. This has advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that the amount of time we have to spend on this each week is limited and varies wildly from week to week. One upside is that we're under no pressure to make a living off the new edition. We can take the time to do this right.

Best Regards,

Eric

Dare I ask... Are the prequel novels considered 'canon' for the new game?

(I haven't talked about those books with any big Amber RPG fans, so I don't know whether I'm treading dangerously here).
