Any news

By Darth Pizza, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if there have been any rumours about any new books (for any of the SW lines) that may be in development from Edge Studios? Would be interesting to hear anything!

Thanks,

At the beginning of the most recent Order 66 Podcast, Chris mentioned that he (and Hooly) had contacted Edge shortly after the announcement, to introduce themselves and express a desire to continue the working relationship with Edge that O66 and The Forge have enjoyed with FFG. Edge replied that they knew who they were, and were pleased to continue that relationship, but asked to “give them the year,” because they would prefer to have more concrete, specific information to provide.

A related question I have is what kind of schedule are the planning when it comes reprinting old books? I was underemployed when I first discovered the system and was slow at buying product. I'm finally doing better financially and am wanting to improve my library.

We haven’t heard anything (that I’m aware of). But, consider that the changeover from FFG to Edge was announced in early March, right before the whole world shut down. I’d wager that the actual ramp up of Edge didn’t begin until Sam officially started as RPG Manager for Edge. Accounting for any existing backlog of jobs that the printer had, then Edge having to get in the job queue, it’ll probably be a while before they can get a flow going.

FWIW, FFG seems to be facing a similar production logjam with the mini games. A few weeks ago, I received a birthday gift of a gift card to get myself an Armada Super Star Destroyer, and it’s out of stock, even at FFG.

There’s a lot of production of a lot of products everywhere to catch up on. (And I’m guessing that such printer backups are, at least in part, why the High Republic publishing project was pushed from summer to the beginning of 2021.)
