Awesome! It missed my gaming group's session last weekend, but they'll be exploring SF in our session on the 28th.  |

I can wait, I'm thinking of cutting one of the three game systems I normally play out from my list of who I will be supporting for financial reasons and I'm getting bored with fantasy now. So I may occasionally pick up something for Pathfinder but right now it looks I have something to pencil in for June to go look for or have the local gaming place special order if they'll do that. Let's see now
Horror Companion next month (I hope in Print)
I need to get that 50 Fathoms megabundle (I can always turn that into an MMORPG for IZ) and that comes out in March.
May I have three birthdays to buy for.
DCA Heroes and Villains 2 is coming out at some point
IZ San Francisco
Streets of Bedlam whenever that drops as a print and maybe soundtrack
Threat Reports and Emerald City for M&M
The Deep book whenever that drops in print
Then finalize what I'm running for Fur Fright in October, I may take especial look at San Fran so I can do a kind of "Escape from New York" meets "Cloverfield" plus a lot of other bit and pieces from Lovecraft thrown in for good measure. Thank you, Reality Blurs for your wonderful Cthulhu book I use it with IZ for a nasty good time.  |

I'm glad to get another peek at the world of IZ with the Sanfran book. I left my thoughts on it up at rpgnow but suffice it to say I'm quite pleased.
Keep up the good work. |

I am highly tempted to get the pdf because of two of the reviews. I am also really starting to like the one scenario idea I have for sending players into New York to retrieve someone or something. And with RoC at my disposal there will be some truly nightmarish things lurking in the shadows. Zombies? There might be a few packs running around but compared to some of the other horrors stalking about, the walking dead will be the least of their worries.  |

Mwahaha! I am now part of the process of giving my opinion on the books I purchase, and tempting others to buy them!
I feel powerful.
It makes me want to go back and start reviewing other books I've purchased on rpgnow. |

Wow, that sounds like a ton of fun!
Cthulhu'esque Bio-horrors in the ruins would be very cool. Maybe they are genetic experiments gone wrong, or the cocktail of some mad scientist?
I'm definitely getting an "I am Legend" vibe too.

In my experience, it's always good to get a review from a customer/fan, even if it's not a good one. It gives me some insight into what the customer likes and doesn't like about the work, and I can take that advice into account when working on future projects.

I took a quick look at these and thought they looked pretty cool - and useful. One question though: Do you plan to have them eventually printed up as a 'hard' product?

Hopefully! I'm looking into that option. I'll be talking with the guys at Cubicle7 about it.

| I need to see "I am Legend" The two movies I had firmly in mind for this was "Escape from New York" and "Cloverfield" Cthulhu cultists and worse in the ruins of New York where HPL actually lived for a time with his Jewish wife. |

| I just got the pdf of San Fran, mostly because I couldn't wait for the print book and also because if it's in the budget I'll get an iPad or some other portable pdf reader that I can take with me. But even skimming through it, it's a blast. When San Francisco goes print, I'm picking up a copy. |

No pun intended, I'm sure. 
I'm sure Dave and Dave would say much the same thing, but I'm glad to hear you're liking what you've seen.

| Very much indeed, the two new hybrids are close to what I would do myself. This is the fourth book in the IZ line and it's been a fantastic read so far. I need to spend more time with it but it's definitely giving me ideas about the one scenario I want to run here on east coast where I'm going to send characters into the ruins of NYC. |

Hi everyone.
I don't know if anyone's seen this video game yet. It apparently comes out in February, but it's just about the most perfect representation of Hyper reality I've ever seen.
Very Interface Zero.

[Insert grumpy complaint about the Syndicate series becoming a FPS game]
Looks cool though, and the writer for the game (Richard K. Morgan) is an excellent author. |

This is the first I've heard of the syndicate series, actually. I'm pretty excited about it.
makes me want to take a look at the older stuff.
