In the Thick of It

I've been so in the thick of writing the Damnation View that I haven't even thought to post about it. Let's at least cover a few of the basics.
The book is slated to be released for the GAMA Trade Show in April '09 and will be 128 pages. We haven't decided whether or not it's hard or softcover yet, but I would prefer hardcover. I don't have a price for it yet, either, but I suspect it'll be around $35 (but don't quote me on that).
This is the first of our story books, introducing the epic CthulhuTech metaplot. It advances the storyline of the setting and covers the big events of 2086, as well as taking a look at pop culture trends. It contains four major plots, two of which are designed for NEG military games and two of which are designed for law enforcement, arcane underground, or Eldritch Society games. However, I'm writing sections about how to weave Characters into pretty much any of the plots, so you can play whatever you want. There are also four minor plots that get 5 or 6 pages each that add some interesting texture to your game and can be used as subplots or shorter stories. Additionally, there is a section discussing pop culture, including cars, tech, movies, music, and fashion.
That's enough for today. I want to talk more about this, so I'll save myself some topics.

Not Coming This Summer

With the switch in publishers and the re-release of the Core Book and new release of Vade Mecum (and the pending re-release of Dark Passions), it's not really feasible for us to release the Damnation View as well. We'd just be flooding the market. At least with the way things are rolling out, CthulhuTech will finally be regularly printed and in-stock, building a solid base for the Damnation View next Spring.
I am already writing the book. Hell, it was outlined two years ago, so it's just a question of finally getting down on paper what's already been rolling around my head. The only book I wish we could release first would be Ancient Enemies, because the metamorphosis rules could come in really handy in the Eldritch Society plot-line. But no matter, you'll be able to get by without it.
Development on the book has stopped for the moment because of the publisher switch and both Comic Con and Gen Con. Then I go to Burning Man (my 8th year in a row). I'll start in again in early September and I'm sure I'll have more to say about it then.
