    Any info. you can "leak" to us? Maybe give us an idea just what questions
    will be answered and maybe when it will be released. Its been a long wait
    for this SW supplement. BTW, I hope you plan on following Ed's formula,
    from "King of the Giantdowns", when doing this work. IMO, this is the best
    way to publish adventures or supplements.

    I am also looking forward to this release, but do haev a small request. I
    would like it if there could be a little more "specific" info in the
    package. The King supplement was great (not knocking Ed) , but
    unfortunately, not all of us have the time to fully flesh out the things
    outlined in these types of suppliments. i'd love to see some things like
    long range goals of these "evil" regents, and a basis of how they propose
    to accomplish it (the timeline in Warlock of the Stonecrowns was great!)
    I don't thnk this would detract too much from those who like to build
    their own events while still supplying us time constrained people
    something more to go on..

    PS> Just so everyone is awary, The Book of Priestcraft finally made it to
    Halifax, Nova Scotia (if anyone knowes where I am :) ) Only 6-7 weeks
    behind everyone else..not bad *grin*

    I would normally agree with you, but I'm a full-time Computer Science
    Major, a full-time grunt at a software store, and a full-time
    Father/Husband. As you can guess I have little time for game prep., and I
    found KotG perfect. It required virtually no rewriting on my part, and had
    fully fleshed out goals and motives for each villain and NPC. The beauty of
    KotG, at least IMHO, was the fact it was a completely malleable to any
    characters (and their actions) going in. All I had to do as DM was have the
    elements of KotG react to what the PCs were doing. It is true I added a few
    of my own personal touches (ie. Cerilian Pudding, and the Mummy), and a
    plot line or two, but for the most part it worked well on its own. Whereas
    WotS needed to be completely rewritten in order for me to use at least a
    few parts of the published adventure. Although the timeline was a good aid,
    and further use of such would be nice. Still I like the idea of there being
    no overall plan of how the adventure should progress, the free-form
    atmosphere created in KotG is exactly the way all material for AD&D should
    be presented, but again this is just MHO.

    BTW, Ed we still have yet to hear any tales from the playtesting of this
    particular gem (KotG). I particularly interested in that Undead NPC the
    Players had such a time with.

    Ugggh...We still have yet to see a copy of BoP here in Pt. St. Lucie,
    Florida. I really must live in last place on earth.

    Well, I never did find it in Tallahassee, FL, but it was in Jacksonville,
    and I bought it in Orlando, so maybe it's working its way south through
    the state :)

    I look forward to satisfying (or further whetting, depending on how you look
    at it) your curiosity. But not until I've dotted the final "i" and crossed the
    last "t" of the manuscript, sometime after the holidays. In the meantime, if
    you want a hint of Shadow things to come, be sure to read the Tuar Annwn entry
    of TRIBES.

    How's that for a teaser? ;-)
