Release date for TBH

[andrea sfiligoi]

Probably TBH will be released in march. The rules are pretty much ready and the playtest comments have been very good and helpful. I have decided to make it a color book (the pdf will include both a stripped down, bare bones, just text print friendly version and a full color version, the print book will be sold both as a color book or as a cheaper black and white book). So pagesetting and doing full color artwork will take some time but I'm having fun ;D and it should sell a bit more in the end.

I wonder if the GM book and the core book should be made available together (that means a longer wait as the GM book is a rough jumble of notes and play materials right now)

That depends. Can you run a game on the 1st book alone? If yes, print it and do the GM companion later. I assume the GM book would be adventures, more monsters, GM tips, etc?

[andrea sfiligoi]

Yes of course you can run it without the GM book and there are a few short scenarios. The GM book is half "goodies" (monsters, scenarios, magic items) and half GMing tips.

Then yeah, publish that puppy. If it's as good as SBH, I can get my daughter role-playing too.

sooner the better for me, I might be able to find use for the piles of old RPG notes and adventures I've got knocking about.

[mrbistro]

Agreed! I can't wait to try TBH out!

[Slorm]

Will be TBH usable with miniatures? or only will b a RPG?

Thanks

[andrea sfiligoi]

Definitively usable with miniature (we encourage to create a character getting inspiration from a miniature!) but IS a RPG, has a skill system and needs a game master; the combat system is quite similar to the miniature game but adds some other simple variables (weapon skills, damage, armor) to add some granularity to those who want it. Characters are created with a point system.

[Slorm]

Ok, thanks a lot, it is very interesant

[Slorm]

OK, we are in April What about the publication?

[gruen]

OK, end of April... any news?

Or some appetizer? Waiting is so hard. And waiting without a sign of life even harder.

[andrea sfiligoi]

I'm just busy trying to finish other projects. TBH will have a more complex layout than other Ganesha books, and will likely be available as an ipad optimized ebook as well... so I have pushed back the date of publication to make sure it's a better looking book. I know you just want to play it :-) but looks are very important in RPGs...

[andrea sfiligoi]

Just give me the summer to go over it again... I think we can have it out in September as a good looking full color book. The pdf will also have an ink-saving version for those who just want to print out the rules at home and don't care for the pictures.

Hey Andrea do you want feedback from the Origins playtest?

I would like to hear how Origins went as well. A SBH RPG sounds like something I would like to know more about.
