Cubby, if it isn't opening up a can of worms, it was stated at Gencon that there were hopes for fiction releases leading up to ilClan. Does it seem like a lot of that stuff is coming together okay?
In the three weeks since Gen Con? ...Sure, I guess?
No, I know what you're asking--that fiction has been in the works for a little while, it's not like that mention at Gen Con was the very first step. To be totally honest, I don't have a great fix on what the plan is over on the production side of the house. I have a better handle on what's in the works for the gaming side, because I generally edit and/or write for a lot of it. But I've reached out to John Helfers, the BT fiction director, to try and get a better sense of what the plan is going forward. Otherwise, I only know what Blaine puts on Facebook.
Tl;dr - No reason to think it
isn't coming together. Blaine has posted that he's writing stuff, I believe others are as well, and John seems to be able to get things out the door.
in this case I read including as discretely limiting by explicitly stating what's included.
There's really nothing I can write that won't get parsed, is there? I wrote that copy, and it was
not intended to exclude anything. I have no idea at this point what will or will not be in the book. But I needed to get something onto the Coming Releases page.
Likely it's been an idea for a while.
Referring to TRO: Clan Invasion; it's been in the water supply since around the time of TRO: SW, I'm told. So it's not like someone snapped awake in the middle of the night two days before Gen Con and said, "Wait...I see it now...I know what the next glaringly obvious step is!"
That said, the display of the cover at Gen Con caught me by surprise along with the rest of you. So maybe it was at least a little like that.
