OK I should finally give an update on this product.
We got all the submissions, sorted them, chose them. Got the authors to sign off. And now this long delay.
I want to reassure you this product is still going forward.
It has been delayed for several reasons.
First and foremost (no offense to the authors) because most of the authors were newbies, we essentially bought the rights to cool ideas. Several of the submissions needed substantial rewriting and I didnt have the time to do that. Now that we have more staff authors, time is being spent on them. In fact, most are already re-written.
Second, a collection of short adventures by newer authors was determined to have less "market impact" than Rob and Gygax, so when those products got inserted into the schedule, something had to give--one of the things that "gave" was TM.
So yes, we are still forging ahead. I have the edited adventures infront of me. However, because I have to finish Necropolis and Grimtooth adn Bard's Gate first, they wont get my attention for a while. So TM will most likely be a late 3rd quarter release.
Thanks for everyone's patience--particularly the authors whose work was accepted!
