Yeah, you know, not to rant, or whatever, but this is exactly what irks me about the matter.
If he had simply shut up and worked on the book until it was ready, this would have been something to look out for.
But with all the delays, and false announcements, he's losing a lot of credibility.
Which is a shame, because Jeff is a talented writer.
I think the one largely to blame for this is me. Its not so much Dolmen Creative have been slapping their chests boasting of the wonders that will come, but more than I have been posting about this game here and on my blog. Besides the WEG forum I havent seen much talk about it really.
Besides, having projects cancelled or delayed happens pretty much all the time in the gaming industry. WotC and Paizo are probably the only companies who are able to make their schedules most of the time, and with WotC we have also seen lots of cancellations lately. For small one or two man companies it is rough and we are luck if we get to see some of the projects come through. WEG fans will know very well what I am talking about.
With the excellent material Jeff wrote for D20 Blackmoor and Goodman Games, I would love to see more of his work being published.
Quote:Sorry, no idea about that one.
I saw the Polish book a few years ago, though, so there's probably a community out on the web that knows better.
I have the Polish version of Witcher *somewhere*, but from what I remember it has nothing to do with D6.
Quote:But Metabarons is by no means a bad choice, either. Like, the comic book is one of the masterpieces of our time.
Metabarons is a beautiful book, but it is not a fantasy setting. If one is interested in doing Space Opera with D6 there are far better alternatives out there. (D6 Star Wars).

hock: Interesting. Never played that one, even though Prince Valiant is likely my favorite comic book series of all time.
We are straying off topic here, but if you are interested in Arthurian Roleplaying, I much more recommend the Pendragon RPG, which is a variant of BRP (Cthulhu, Runequest), but excellently applied to the genre.
