Lords of Gossamer and Shadow

[Qwilion]

We are working on it. I am hoping to go into the editing stage before the end of Oct

If we hit that point things will go much faster.

The manuscript is complete and in the publisher's hands at this point.

Gold Patrons should be getting some additional content (online extras) in the next month.

Any idea when LoGaS is likely to be available to the non-patron public?

Amber-inspired RPGs are apparently a bit like buses; you wait for ages and then two turn up right after one another.  

I'm looking forward to this one coming out.

May 2013

These are Estimates and subject to change without notice.

I am shooting for Dec 17th for the manuscript to be bacck from editing, then it will go to layout which should comeback by Januay 17th, the cover image will then be solicited for a May release (preorders through traditional distribution take 4 months), it should come back from proofing by Febuary 17th, allowing us two weeks to make the changes and then send it to the printer.  Which it would then be on time for a May 2013 release.

This is great news! That'll make it two years with two Diceless games in a row.  Someone should start working on something for 2014.

Today we signed Christopher "Kit" Kindred to write the first adventure for Lords of Gossamer and Shadow  

Here is an art preview by Jason Rainville "Vala, Lady of the Shimmering Vale"

I'm curious, what will be the game's core pantheon ?

[Qwilion]

The Lords and Ladies of Gossamer and Shadow. Its an original setting.

I don't want revel to much at this point and will discuss it in a more indepth manner once it is out of layout and into the proofreading stage (around end of january)

The Gossamer Lords and Ladies are more akin to Amberites, in that they are immensely powerful immortals who travel infinite worlds. In some worlds they may be worshiped as gods, but they are not any sort of "core pantheon" in any sense of the world.

They are not related to one another, with only an informal alliance. Mostly they stay out of one another's way, unless brought together by need or crisis.

There is almost always a need or crisis.

Thanks for the answer. I'm getting a Lords of Chaos/Order vibe from your description and I like it very much.

It's a really gorgeous, evocative picture.

There's a bit of that, but it's a lot more akin to Zelazny's magician rulers from Jack of Shadows.

It's a really gorgeous, evocative picture.

All of the artwork I've seen so far has been amazing.

By the way -- the basic manuscript is finished and Jason has it in the hands of the Gold Patrons for playtest and typo search. Things are moving along quite well at this point.
