My monthly excuses compound.

As I’ve said often, I’m a slave to my layout artist. Although I’ll be in England for the next two weeks, I’ll still be able to keep track on all the updates with Evolution. We ARE almost done. Ultramodern4 is not affected by the delays of Evolution, and it will be sent to the editor this week. Right now, I’m polishing the last few pages of the U4 campaign builder, adding in a revised update of the Biohazard zombie module and a new mini-adventure, Invasion Proxy—involving an alien attack in the spirit of War of the Worlds and the recent Battle: LA. Like Biohazard, we’ll be releasing Invasion Proxy for free as a preview for Ultramodern4. Along with two-mini adventures, U4 will also have nine “Action Set Pieces” which you can insert into any adventure.

Now onto other news…

This is Origins, an image commissioned by DEM and produced by our master Da-Vinci, Nick Greenwood. It features heavily in Evolutions, and we’re including a hi-resolution version of it with every purchase of the book. If you order the PDF or the PDF/Print combo, you’ll receive a massive JPG of Origins. You could print a huge mural of it, like I plan to. If you don’t think this image can’t handle the detail of a big print, here is a zoomed portion of it…

Told ya.

Although we are not taking pre-orders for Evolution, we are including a PDF with the purchase of the print book, if you acquire it through RPGNow. I will be doing a VERY limited print run for game dealers that sold more copies of Foundations than anyone else.
