Can't wait for this!

Craig, I do have a question. Does this supplement have any rules for dealing with ethereal beings? Any thought about summoning things onto the battlefield as well?

I ask because I think the system as a whole would be perfect for a bit of ghost hunting and the like.

 :o Who you gonna call?  Well not Lord Curr because unfortunately there are no such rules. However, now you've mentioned it I'm sure we could include some in Sleeping Dragon, Rising Sun (Chinese Ghosts eh?  lol).

I'd be happy to help with some playtesting for those! The sooner the better!

Yeah – shouldn't be any delays (or, if there are, they're not my fault!).

20th is the official release date – they should be released to distributors on the 7th, so I'd expect them to be available from then-ish.

Smith will the PDF be available before the 20th? I am going to be buying both for convenience sake and to support a good game.

Pre-ordered from Amazon (along with IHMN core rules) so hopefully by Thanksgiving...  something to read while passively watching Football (American style.)

If you want to watch real football, rugby union football, the autumn internationals are happening over the next few weeks with the best of the southern hemisphere teams up in Britain for some bruising encounters with our teams...

I think most digital retailers will keep until the 20th – they'll still have the files in advance, but the systems tend to fix the availability to a specific date. With hard copies, the release date is still the 20th, but they go out early as they need to reach vendors in good time for stock management etc., and it's up to them when they release the books. It should be the 20th across the board, but in reality it's always almost ASAP with hard copies.

Received the final PDF of Heroes, Villain and Fiends yesterday and I had forgotten just how much material was in there.
IHMN was 22,500 words all in but HVF, having no internal illustrations, is 27,500 words and it is just packed with companies and other great stuff  :D
Allons y!
