Perhaps it’s the ghost of “ghosts of dathomir”... ? :)

@Absol197 aside from FO what was the longest time a book has been in development? To your records?

Other than the current crop currently In Development , the longest time was for Ghosts of Dathomir itself, at 73 days. Savage Spirits was the previous record holder at 63 days.

Just crazy.

And thanks for the info

224 days so far, actually. March 3 was the announcement date.

And you're welcome :) .

Yes, we're all frustrated. But there's little we can do but wait. Raging against the machine isn't going to help.

Well I know we all appreciate your services and I apologise if I came across as raging... frustrated? Definitely. Raging? Not quite what I was going for.

It's no trouble :) . It's hard to judge emotion and tone online, and I'm exceptionally bad at it, so...

But Rage Against the Machine will help fill the time!

Well if any book is going to jump in front of FO I hope it's dawn. I want to see the 6 new universals... Well 5 of them anyway... not sssoooooo interested in a clone vet but I do wonder what the others are.

Why no love for our Clone Brothers! I for one am excited that they added that.

It's not a lack of love for the clones, just that my characters tend to be younger as in mid 20s so a clone vet wouldn't fit... that and I never liked boba fett and since they are clones of him...

I'm sure a clone vet universal will be great and I personally think the 6 skills fits given their obvious experience and their superior... training. I don't think that shows power creep at all. Rather it's addressing their increased abilities.

If I thought there was a way I could make it fit for my characters in a reasonably narrative way I'm sure I would consider it but it would only MAYBE work for my soldier and he is sitting at 6 trees and 4 force powers so i dont need another tree to spend xp on yet... especially since he is moving away from being a vindictive warrior.

Technically they are in their mid 20s accelerated aging just makes them look well 50-60

My campaign began under the WEG D6 system and predates the prequels, so Republic clone troopers were never a thing.

Rage, Rage against the dying of the light!

Though wise mystics at their end know dark is right, because their words have forked no lighting they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Did some browsing around, and some online stores are estimating the three books we're waiting on--Fully Operational, Cyphers and Masks, and Dawn of Rebellion--will arrive in 73 odd days, which if my counting is accurate, is the first week of the new year.

Not to say those sources are accurate, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Interesting. Technically possible, if we get the shortest possible Printing/Boating/Shipping time-frames on them. But that might also simply be an extension of this trend:

"Oh, the only information the company has made available about this product is that it will be available in Q4. Oh well, let's just say we'll have it by the last day of the quarter and call it good! Oh, that's in the midst of holiday season? Meh, scoot it up to the first week of the new year to be safe."

Otherwise known as the Amazon method :P !

I'm going to predict (based on nothing but hyperbole and conjecture) a release date of Dec 14th for 2 of 3 or dec 21st for 3 of 4.?

Sorry @Absol197 but you will have to wait till the warrior book comes out in Dec 2018 for your mystic book.??

If the Amazon Method now gets me books a week before street date, I’m all for it. :lol:

@Nytwyng - so it arrived?

Which has been the source of much screaming and cursing consternation and annoyance on my part throughout the years.

Now this is a prediction I can get behind.
