Other then the comments at ctech I haven't much info. Any other source?

Darn it, just when it looked like direct ordering of hardcovers might be approaching.

So people will still be able to get a copy of the third printing when it is released through IPR?

will there be a release of Panopticon on PDF even if the printed version is in publishing Schroedinger's Cat condition?

I am not with Posthuman, in any way or form, but from following their twitter and whatnot; Panopticon and the Third Printing are at the printers, I believe the plan is for them to be ready for Gencon. Rimward is being written/has been written, has some art orders out (Rob said that the cover art came in like, yesterday). There are plans for a Players Manual type book after Rimward, but we haven't really heard all that much about it. What I am more curious about is the relative lack of e-products lately. I seem to remember last year that the general plan was 8 a year? I think we have had 2 so far this year? EDIT: I also think that Posthumans printing situation is seperate from Sandstorm, isn't it? I think Sunward was sent to printers [i]before[/i] joining up with them, but after the split from CGL.

When we have announcements to make, we will make them. Just chill. Things are moving forwards, things are in good shape, but as always -- we talk about them when we have solid things to say. Spending your time speculating is, almost always, a complete waste of time. :)

I can at least, partially, address the e-release issue. Yes the original plan was to release many more than we have so far but while we have several written and potentially 'ready' (like the rest of last year's Gencon adventures and some other things) we tend to hit a snag with the in house 'final stages' of production. We tend to handle the final stages of production, final editing, proofing, layout and the pdf production side of things all internally. That means there is only 3 of us (Adam, Rob and myself) to handle these tasks as well as the print products AND the day to day operations of Posthuman. Additionally even though they are 'just pdfs' we want to put the same level of care and quality into these products. What has ended up happening is that the print products take precedence over the pdf stuff, and the day to day operations takes precedence over everything, print or pdf. So that means the pdf stuff has gotten the short end of the stick as we've been dealing with other issues that are more important to keeping the company running. It is our hope that as we continue to grow as a company and build up our finances we'll be able to settle into a more consistent production schedule and not have to spend as much time running around putting out stupid fires. Hopefully this clears things up a bit. I feel like I'm making excuses but, on the other hand I feel like most people would rather see us as a long-lived and productive company that produces quality stuff than just dumping half-finished product out there to make some arbitrary deadline.

Of course. I am glad to know, looking at yours and Adam's post that my favourite RPG line at the moment is not in threat of disappearing :) Good luck to you and I am looking forward to seeing more excellent products like the ones you already issued.
