Default Re: No Unhallowed - stop looking for a pitchfork

Well, the news ain't good for Unhallowed in May. The last we heard, the cards are in proofing. That means they're nearly done, but much depends on how much other work is on the proofer's desk and how many errors need to be fixed when the job returns to typesetting. All we can say for certain at this time is that people are working on it and it is moving ahead, but given all the other projects that are currently doing the same thing, the finish date is an open question.

It should surprise no one that when a resource conflict occurs between this project and a new title that's been promised to distributors and retailers on a specific date, the job that's going to bring in the most money wins and the job whose delay will cause the least disruption to budgets loses. We're doing what we can with what we have. All we can do beyond that is ask folk like you to exercise some patience.

Thankfully, Steve decided to at least break the silence and let us all know more than we knew before.

Yes, and I think that we all understand the business reasons for it.

Doe it suck? You bet. But given the choice between late uH cards or having profitable products delayed, thus causing loos off revenue, and given the slim margins, even more cuts, I'll take this. I don't want to, but it's the lesser of two evils.

I'm sure others will rail against evil WotC for this, but business is business, and if there's no profit-making ventures, theres no game.

I'd much rather see the 4e books (and presumably adventures/supplements/etc.) and AtG stat cards (or more likely the set after AtG) get priority at the printer over Unhallowed 2.0

I'm just happy they stopped stonewalling and let us know what was up.

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

Basically he's saying that the Unhallowed cards are on the back burner because other things are more important. Probably won't be the last time we hear that.

There are always minis that dominate the game.  There always will be.  That's what happens when stats are not identical on everything.

Semi apology accepted.Â

But I still do not like it.  Why not have done this sooner.Â

Also, this does not bode well for the All Stars being on time.  Especially as D&D Miniatures restats will always be low man on the profitability totem poll.Â

All in all, a sad day.Â

The problem is how this will affect the qualifiers and championships (aka Eternal-Blade-O-Rama).

Nice, except the 4E books are already out there.

Not all of them. I bet they release more after the big three.

I missed the apology in that bit. Nice to have some comminuication even if its another 'soon', but a sorry about delay would of helped too. Rather than a 'you're not important enough money wise to make us care'
