All preorders got some bonus stuff. Early preorders (such as DarkSunLord) got extra bonus stuff. We appreciate your patience!]]> Mon, 03 Jan 2011 13:45:21 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX
I'm hoping it goes up on Paizo today so I can get it today.]]> Mon, 03 Jan 2011 08:14:49 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from DarkSunLord1 Sun, 02 Jan 2011 14:10:30 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Sun, 02 Jan 2011 08:16:53 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from greg Thanks for your patience everyone!

Well, to answer your question, check out our home page. I have posted the final release date for Oathbound Seven, which is 1/1/11.

I am well aware we have failed to keep a number of promises on this book, but I am very confident we can meet this date. Todd started the typesetting this weekend, and the final editing is on place for the latter chapters. We have all the feedback from the playtesters, and we have already made the many excellent changes from player suggestions. As to why we are so late, well that's another matter. Mostly, the book ended up being a larger project that we ever envisioned in the first place. Secondly Gen Con didn't go quite as we'd planned, so we ended up not having the money to pay people to help out (with a few exceptions), so we've pretty much done the whole thing ourselves. Also, since we didn't seek out any investment capital to start this company, we have day jobs that unfortunately must come first. There's more, but I don't think anyone needs to read a long list of excuses.

Anyway, I sincerely apologise for the wait, and I fully envision we will meet our release date. Those of you who have already given us your money (you know who you are), we appreciate it, and I will be sending a little extra thank you in your packages. You are always welcome to contact me for a refund if you get cold feet. However, at 10$ for this sizable book, I think it's worth the wait.

I also promise we will be moving a bit faster once this book is out there. It's our number one priority, and a lot of stuff has been back-burnered until this is out.

If you have any specific questions, I will be happy to answer them.]]> Mon, 29 Nov 2010 00:47:49 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Derek Holland wrote:
I don't work for Greg and I wasn't defending him either. You say you weren't being rude. I disagree and will leave it at that.



Good. And I will, with all due respect, ask you to keep your comments to yourself when they don't involve you. Thank you much.]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2010 09:55:46 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Fri, 26 Nov 2010 04:15:56 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Derek Holland wrote:
Nice. How about:

Greg, could you please update us on when OB 7 might be released?

See, being polite isn't difficult.




When a company delivers a good product, on time, it shows a respect for their customers. When a company is unable to deliver their product on time, updating those customers shows respect for their customers. Neither has happened in this situation. I should not have to come here and repeatedly grovel in an effort to get a release date.




However, I was not rude, not when I inquired months ago, nor when I inquired this time, if you take someone else being reminded of what they said as an insult, then that isn't my problem. I do, however, hope you do not work for nor represent epidemic books. If you do not, why don't you allow the person whom I asked to answer for himself, I'm certain he's a big boy and doesn't need you defending him. If you do, please, let me know now so I can take my business else where.]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 21:53:02 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from Derek Holland

Ok, I've updated the release dates for Oathbound for the final time.

Oathbound Seven is set for November sometime. Probably somewhere in the middle. I swear on my mother's left nut I will do everything in my power to get this thing out. And not just for you guys, it'd be nice to get a full night's sleep one of these years.



Well?]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2010 21:48:08 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from greg
For all the levels in between, I'll be counting on the community to some degree. Once Oathbound seven is out, I'll be running a contest. Send us your eclipse adventure and if we like it we'll pay you 100 bucks or so and do it up as a free pdf on our site.]]> Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:07:24 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from nylanfs Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:22:12 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Sat, 25 Sep 2010 06:08:50 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from greg Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:00:37 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:11:31 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from greg
Eclipse is set for October 4th. This is a real date. I talked to the distributor, and they are shipping to stores on 9/27 for a 10/4 release. We will ship our pre-orders on 9/27 too.

Closely after that, we will release the first Eclipse adventure (december sometime), and then we will start work on our monster manual.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 10:16:12 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX

As for the backgrounds, we are intending to include two versions in the download package. One with all the art elements in place, and one with no backgrounds in case people want to print stuff. The second one should take care of your loading issues.]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 13:30:00 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX
My only real request, don't have the crazy backgrounds on each page like Paizo does, I love their products but Goddess bless the pages take a long time to load. (I know its way too late to put in requests but thought I'd throw that out there.)]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 06:12:24 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic23-.aspx Message from ToddM
Greg is hard at work finishing up the writing and rules conversion for Oathbound 7 i have only seen him like twice in the last mouth, this is not just a pathfinder transfer but an amazing fulling realized and comprehensive guild including up dated information from all the past oathbound books and products. it is already topping 300 pages and will most likely be around 500 when it is complete, (there is just so much we want to cover and offer) i am painting my figures to the bone to fill the book with tons of new art and even with all this work and added content we are still going to keep the price at ten dollars. we still have a goal to have it to you ASP and a personal goal to have it out by the end of this mouth so bear with us and wish us luck.
