I have mentioned before that I did receive Ken's personal copy of 1st print Tunnels & Trolls for backing their 2013 Kickstarter at the $2000 level, so it's not some state secret. At the time the only really rare items I didn't have were a 1st print T&T and a Jade Hare with cover and I won both of them the same week. Sometimes one just gets lucky. Typical Ken, when he wrote up the CoA for me, he listed that I had contributed $1000 to the Kickstarter...

That is the exact line I was thinking of, Dave. Thanks!

Thank goodness for reprints!


So, what can folks tell me about Beasts, Men, and Gods as a game/system/setting?---I've heard praise about it over the years from Frank and others, but don't really know anything about it?  

Allan.

How many does the collective here thinks exist today? Probably under 20?

Thanks Allan. It is only available in PDF at the moment, but actual print copies will be available in a few weeks according to a blurb on the website.

Yeah, but only an old, creaky grognard would want a print copy. Just get a PDF -- all the kids are doing it that way these days!

Updated Haalkitaine Second Edition info on from Shadow World report – November 2019 | IronCrown :

Terry Amthor wrote:I am pleased to announce that Haalkitaine Second Edition PDF is now available! The print edition is soon to follow.

This is a massive update from the old spiral-bound first edition release way back in the 1990s. The timeline has been updated, several sections expanded, and at last there are layouts of the sewers and the catacombs under the city, with a complete text key and the many NPCs and creatures inhabiting these underground areas. And finally, there are over a dozen all-new adventures! (The first edition had no adventures at all!) This book is looking to be over 262 pages, in full color of course.

Haalkitaine Second Edition includes:

   New: Sewer and Catacombs maps, with detailed descriptions and encounter charts.
   More than a dozen all-new adventures, including palace intrigues, a few mysteries, and a growing threat from the Iron Wind.
   Extensive price and commerce charts.
   Overview of the city government, and dozens of profiles of members of the Rhakhaan nobility.
   Updated history/timeline.
   Many new NPCs that the players are likely to meet.
   Many new organizations, including religions, cartels, and gangs.
   A complete map of the city (including a full-size PDF for printing, which you can download for free in the ICE forum), with a text key to dozens of shops and other locations.
   Updated index.
   All the Rolemaster Classic/RM2 and RMSS/FRP stats.


Free map download @ Haalkitaine large map if you're interested.

Allan.

Looks like the print version is available now:  Shadow World: Haalkitaine & The Court of Rhakhaan - Iron Crown Enterprises | Rolemaster Classic | RMSS and RMFRP | Shadow World | DriveThruRPG.com

I've got a Q to Terry still pending about whether the new print versions include the large-format poster maps, or if they'll be available separately, etc.

I ordered the print copy, and it arrived yesterday.  It's good overall, but some of the maps have issues, which I'm raising with Terry and ICE.  Will keep folks update on possible fixes.
