Lords of Gossamer and Shadow

Intriguing. Out of curiosity if you can tell me, is it for communication only or does it allow travel as well?

I leave info like that to the silver level patrons, who have access to the beginnings of the manuscript at this point (such is the nature of a patronage project).

Been a while since we've heard anything about Logas. Is the project still in production? I know know official release date was ever made but is there any general timeline?

I don't know about an official timeline, but I can say that I have put together a playtest doc for my own use based on material that Jason has posted already and it's at 72 pages. And I know he has some material he hasn't posted yet. Things are progressing, although slowly.

Seriously, the race between this game and Lords of Olympus is like a race between two paraplegic snails...

Yes its still under production.

No I won't give a general timeline (and its why I don't do release dates until its in layout). The simple reason is any general timeline I give you would be wrong. I Can tell you we have some lovely art by Jason Rainville, Its going to be damn pretty. Jason continues to put out a slow but steady flow of work.

I guess it just goes to show that game publishing isn't quite as simple as we'd hope. There are so many details to get right and if you cut corners you will hear about it from the fans, so taking the extra time makes sense.

I can't wait to see LoGaS and LoO side-by-side to see how they compare. I suspect that each will provide some interesting insights as to how to run an ADRP style campaign!

My guess is that Lords of Olympus will make it to PDF first, albeit without art, but that Lords of Gossamer and Shadow will make it to print first.

At this point anything could still happen. I just want them both to make it to print eventually.

RPGPundit · February 17, 2012, 02:39:12 AM

Me too, though I'll obviously be happier if your prediction turns out untrue in the sense that LoO makes it out first in print, too.

I expect Lords of Olympus to be out first and in print first as We will be waiting on the Cubicle Seven print/distribution cycle (which is 5 months from the date I solicit the cover image to them).

RPGPundit · February 17, 2012, 04:30:02 PM

Well, I'm pretty sure that either way, both will be well-received.

Well, our paraplegic snail won. Hope you guys still get there! Don't leave us standing here at the finish line by our lonesome.

It's about 90% complete and around 75% of the manuscript has been posted to the patron forums for perusal.

Well, that's very good to hear!

I want to add something here, so that everyone is really clear about it: I in no way see Lords of Olympus and Lords of Gossamer and Shadow as opposing or competing products, as far as I'm concerned. I hope that Jason, who I respect immensely, and Rite Publishing (who have to be commended for their efforts to release LoG&S) feel the same way.

To whit, when their game does come out, I would be extremely pleased and very favorable if they wanted to make this subforum an official place of discussion for their game as well, and would be quite happy to give Jason the same Moderator status in this forum that Erick Wujcik once held. I would of course understand if Rite Publishing had other plans, but the offer is on the table in all good faith.

I for one can't emphasize enough how much I disagree with any attempts to present the two projects as somehow being antagonistic to one another or trying to divide the fandom for the Diceless RPG we all love.
