Beyond book 4

[Kromke]

This year will give us book 2 and hopefully book 3. Next year I would guess book 4 will be released in french and english.
But what other books might be in the horison?
Like the book 3 is a Temple sourcebook. I hope there will be Magientist and Demorthen sorcebooks.

For now, the next releases to come are Book 2 - Travels, The Monastery of Tuath (the book about the Temple), Dearg (the official campaign), and the Book of Secrets.

After that, well, things are a bit blurry, since with all these books to translate, it will be at least a year before we start to work on another book! In French, there's an "Occultism" book being prepared, which will certainly be among the releases following the ones mentioned above. Other books about themes of the universe or about its various factions are planned to be released as well, but it is going to be some time before we can tell you what we are going to release and when we are going to release it.

Of course, as usual, we'll inform you as soon as we will be able to relay sure information.

I could add that there are books with "numbers" and "thema", without numbers :

• Numbers
  • Book 0 : Prologue
  • Book 1 : Universe
  • Book 2 : Travels
  • Book 3 : Dearg
  • Book 4 : Secrets
• Thema :
  • Monastery of Tuath
  • (... occultism... yes... but I don't like to speake about things that aren't completly finished )
  • ...

I work on... about... well... about 6 books ? 7 ? ... that aren't on this list... so, there will be other books... but I can't tell more

[Old timer]

Ooo, your are just teasing us now

[Dragoslav]

there's an "Occultism" book being prepared

Push that one to the front of the line!

[Clovis]

All in due time, Dragoslav; all in due time!

[Kromke]

Occultism book is exciting.
Can you say something about this?

Is it an "evil" element in the setting? Power hungry secret societies. Offering humans and condure up Feondas. Like Call of Cthulhu type occult. Or something else?

[Clovis]

Actually, the "Occultism" book is centered around the concepts related to the "Occultism" Domain, so basically, it's about the study of supernatural things: how do supernatural elements appear in Esteren, who can be called an "occultist" exactly. Some occultists use rational thinking and logic to solve the mysteries they seek (kinda like Magientists), while others take a more mystical approach to this field, and often seem more like mystics than scholars (like Eliane Rosàg in the "Rumors" chapter of Book 1). If you want a reference, the main inspiration for the figure of the occultist is Ichabod Crane, from Sleepy Hollow.

Actually, you can already find some information about occultists and occultism in the Books that have been published so far: Book 1 has the "Rumors" chapter, as well as many side-notes mentioning mysteries or legends, and Book 0's scenarios have a very occultist feel to them, particularly Red Fall, with the figure of Alban. Book 2, too, includes a good share of occult elements.
This should give you something to work with until Occultism!

Basically, what you can expect from the Theme Books like Occultism is 50% scenarios and 50% game aids. As a teaser, here is one of the pictures[/img] that will be included in this book.



Enticing, isn't it?


P.S: finally, regarding the Dearg book, although its translation will have to wait, there is going to be an Ulule campaign (kinda like Kickstarter but for the French). For those among you who definitely can't wait, or are fluent in French, this can be an opportunity to get your hands on this new opus! More about that in February.

I saw that Ulule campaign. When the english version will be released through kickstarter, will it feature that boxed set as well ?

[Clovis]

I can't say that with the utmost certainty, but honestly, I see no reason why that wouldn't be the case: if the French Esterenians got it, then so will you!
