I expect more as well, but if they will only start writing them now it might be a while before we see a new series.

Hour of the Huntress was already completed somewhere in 2016 (or maybe before even) and only published recently.

Hour of the Huntress was released on the first day of Arkham Nights last year and sold very, very well (I saw dozens and dozens of copies sell the first couple hours of AN alone)... so I'd be surprised if they didn't commission more books pretty much immediately at that point. So, my (totally unfounded) guess is that there will be more ready for release later this year (Arkham Nights 2018, perhaps?), since it shouldn't take an author very long to finish a ~100 pg novella.

I mean... unless they get George R. R. Martin to write one, in which case it'll be sometime in 2027.

I'm not surprised the Huntress was written in 2016.

I work with self-published authors and the publishing of a book from scratch can take anywhere from a few months to years. It's not always the case and depending on how many resources FFG is pulling to work on the books, they could churn them out relatively quickly given that they have decent editors, graphic artists, and print distribution ties already in place. Still, even if the author can finish the book quickly, it takes rounds and rounds of editing to catch problems on both sides (editor and author), time to get those corrected and protocol to ensure that each is working jointly with the same VERSION of each draft of the manuscript. Once the book is edited for the final text, you still need someone skilled in page design to lay out the book page by page (including getting artists to create the art for the glossy pages near the back of the novella), and the illustrator for the cover needs to have time to complete the cover illustration while a designer ensures that the dimensions of the interior fits to the dimensions of the book and that the spine width is correct for the amount of pages in the finished interior of the book... then there are ISBN numbers to consider and copyright registrations etc etc.

What I'm saying is there is a lot that goes on outside of just 'the author is done, let's print.' I would think FFG has the foresight to know this and predicted that the books would be successful and got ahead of the game. It's really hard to say how long of a gap there is, and it also depends on how much creative freedom and flexibility has been given to the author to make decisions about the design (if any). A difficult author can push a publication back much longer than you would think if they are demanding with their requests.

The quote on Jenny’s Twin .45s is from Hour of the Huntress and the card itself is from 2016, so I figure the book or at least a draft of it was available at FFG way back in 2016.

And even if Hour was finished in 2016, they might have been waiting for others to finish so they could do more than just 1 and wait 10 months.

That's a bit of a "chicken or egg" thing, though. We have no way of knowing whether the card quoted the book or if the author just decided to (or was told to) slip the lines from the card into the book for a nice little tie-in.

It's likely the former, but we don't know for sure.

That is stretching the imagination a bit too much for me.

Maybe. However, the idea that FFG sat on a finished (or nearly-finished) novella for well over a year before releasing it also seems like a bit of a stretch to me. Who knows?

Companies frequently sit on unreleased products for various reasons. Games Workshop routinely releases new models that have copyright dates a year or two old stamped into the plastic sprues.

I noticed that they do sit on things for a while.

You can check out this play mat and art released on Nov 10th 2016. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/fantasy-flight-supply/products/narrow-escape-playmat/

Then you can note its the same art and name on a card released on Feb 22nd 2018.

It seems like they had the card named almost 15 months before it was released. I wouldn't be surprised if it had been designed then either.

I am beginning to suspect that they have the entire card pool designed and layed out for several years of expansion prior to releasing the core box. But hey, what do I know?

I would imagine that as of today (4/2/18), FFG is woodshedding the final scenario for the Forgotten Age, if they aren't play testing the scenario to make sure it plays smoothly. There is no doubt that as soon as a new cycle starts, they are working on the next one, and planning one more after that.

The cycles are designed and printed all at once. They are probably on the finishing touches of the next cycle right now.

I also expect they move the player cards around as needed, and which they think fit better. Scenarios are probably brainstormed a lot with a general framework and solidified later.

Another Novella released, Labyrinths of Lunacy still at the Printer.

Got my To fight the Black Wind in the mail today. Woop!

I made a little mistake in my order and somehow ordered a second copy of Dirge of Reason. To be delivered tomorrow.

To bad, was looking forward to reading Carolyn's story this weekend. At least the 2nd Dirge will make a nice gift for a friend.

A very thoughtful mistake. It will probably take me a while to get to my version. Her deck restrictions are interesting. Trying to figure out whether it is worth taking both seeker and mystic cards, all 15 and what combinations.

I also don't know how to sort through my cards to find all cards that heal horror. I don't know what sort of out-of-class horror healing options there are. :/ Does this include Peter Sylvestre? If so, everytime he heals a horror, she would receive a resource which would be nice.

Try fiddling with https://arkhamdb.com/search

You can enter terms in the text field like horror which by itself narrows it down to 64 (although that includes cards that cause horror)

Carolyn is now active on the arkhamdb site, so once her restrictions are programmed in correctly, you should just be able to use that.

...and yes, she can use Peter Sylvestre (and should!). It sets up a VERY nice combo with Forbidden Knowledge.

Also, a response from Matt on the "heals horror" question:

Here's a list of cards she can use, stolen from an awesome deckbuilder excel spreadsheet I found yesterday and can't, for the life of me, find again (or I would give credit to the creator!):

Warning: It's huge.
