I appreciate the quick reply answering some of my questions and thanks for recognizing my frustration. Surly you have to admit that teasing a product to a fan base for three years as well as continuing to be incredibly obtuse regarding information can illicit such a reaction. You did, however, fail to answer the question opening my barrage and the question I most wanted answered. What is the hold up on this project?

Honestly, I'm more excited for DLN than HoE:R.

Then I'll be the one to like your other child. As cool as Deadlands: Noir is, the Post-apocalyptic Deadlands is more my cup of cross-genre tea than the Hardboiled Deadlands.

I already like Deadlands: Reloaded. I'm just not terribly excited about Hell on Earth. Post-apocalyptic isn't my favorite theme. But at least it isn't high fantasy, so there's that.

Besides, I like so many Savage Settings already. Don't you think it's a little harsh to say that it's like finding out someone doesn't like one of your nine kids when that person likes six or seven of them already? Nobody likes everything.

See, Joel is vague and untrustworthy. Mr. Green

Can we still heap on some shame to get it done faster? Twisted Evil

K, enough is enough.

Joel, where do I send pie? For we all know that pie motivates all.

Come on guys,

I'm a loyal (neigh rabid) Savage fanboy and HoE is my all time favorite setting. Every week I log into the website hoping that something ANYTHING will be said about Savage HoE. We have announcements about products for every other setting, and NOW your pushing Deadland:Noir, but there is nothing for a product that, by the accounts I read, should have been ready LAST YEAR. It's not funny any more.

What about things like printing cost? I'm sure that you guys can only afford to print so many titles a year. Won't this product line take up some of those resources and by extension effect when and what is released for HOE Reloaded? Also you mentioned that these projects are at different stages of production. Can you elaborate on what those stages are? At what stage did HOE Reloaded become bogged down?

Chaps,

We've had our shits and giggles beating Pinniacle around the head asking for the update and the long and short of it is that it will come when it comes. We've been vocal and highlighted the fact that there is an intense interest which is good although continued bashing for finicky details will simply sour the project. Also, the more time they need to spend here answering leaves less time to get on with the project itself.

So, take a breath, step back and lets let them crack on with it knowing when it does hit the shelves it will be worth it. Eh?

Thank you for that, Sluggie. Smile

We really are doing our best to get it done, but we want it to be the best it can be.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, The Last Sons was done in 2009 and just came out. We're a small company with limited staff resources. Hell on Earth is on a similar schedule.
