I am in support of your plan; write whatever strikes your fancy, and deliver it as a fun, solid product. Much healthier than panic over the white paper because of projects due.

Also, I forgot -- my subscription was the $90 variety; is this the half-year plan?

Are there any news on AGP?

There has been little news since the first issue of the journal and the accompanying map, and no product. James, is there a problem?

I am tolerant of the idea, although my preference is for something more "immediately usable" at first. So if there is demand, release it... but probably not as the 1st or 2nd installment.

Then again, this is just my (selfish) opinion.

Actually, isn't the forthcoming, initial "Souther Reaches" installment a form of gazetteer? It is pretty possible that it can be used as such. If there is a way to bring the Wilderlands into print in another form, this is it.

<t>Unfortunately, the realities of RPG publishing make it very unlikely that James, or any other publisher, will be able to release anything close to the 3.5 boxed set (which, given a much more popular game, sold less than 2000 copies). At best, such a thing will come later, and I assume in a much m...
