mattingly Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 The books are all set to be at GenCon (except Fires of Heaven, which is three times as big as the other books and we just couldn't get ready in time) -- I talked with the printer yesterday and all is well.

Hermit Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Re: Project WyrmStar I got my copy of Lux Aeternium at Gen Con and Ryan Wolfe signed it. I could only swing one at the time. ALL the books were very tempting though and I may yet get some of the others on PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Re: Project WyrmStar Now that GenCon is over, when can those who pre-ordered expect delivery? Are pdfs available for download in the interim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattingly Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Re: Project WyrmStar Some of the books just shipped yesterday. They should trickle out over the next week or so. The PDFs should be finalized by this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingly Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Re: Project WyrmStar That's probably how we'll handle it. If you don't hear from us within, say, two weeks at the outside, give me an email at dave@blackwyrm.com to make sure we have your contact information correct.

DusterBoy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Re: Project WyrmStar I'd love to play in "the Widening Gyre" campaign you'll be running at Genghis Con (?), Bunneh. It sounds absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Re: Project WyrmStar Terracide and The Widening Gyre both got mentioned in this week's RPGshop.com newsletter! Where to begin? If it's not the Hero System 6th Edition adding several new RPGs and settings such as The Widening Gyre and Terracide, its Savage Worlds coming out with some fantastic new adventure compendiums for the Hellfrost and Sundered Skies settings. And don't forget Shadowrun putting out the third adventure of their Horizons adventure series, Colombian Subterfuge. For you Warhammer 40K fans out there, a new Dark Heresy book has arrived also - check out The Chaos Commandment. Then there's new Pathfinder stuff, new Ars Magica stuff, new Castles & Crusades stuff, and on and on...wow, what a Winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mhoram Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Re: Project WyrmStar Just got three of these (Widening Gyre is coming as soon as it restocks) - Wreck of Alpha Central, Lux Aeternum, and Terracide. Haven't read in full detail, but based on skims they all look really nice. I'm addicted to Blackwyrm settings now. I'm going to have to pick up more when I have more money.

teh bunneh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Re: Project WyrmStar Hope John doesn't mind me posting this -- a review of The Widening Gyre (Steampunk roleplaying for the Hero System)... Check it out! http://usandacat.com/thelair/2012/review-of-the-widening-gyre-by-blackwyrm-publishing/ Overall I was VERY surprised by The Widening Gyre. I guess I did not expect the amount of coverage that this genre book provides. The quality of the writing is so high that it feels like a book that Steve Long might have produced. (FYI, this is very high praise in my book.) I think Bill has written THE steampunk sourcebook for Hero with Widening Gyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
