Dark Age is on the verge of a new 6 month release schedule and a new book featuring the new Prevailers we have been seeing. Mr. Black has sat down and laid out what is going on with the game, and given us some previews of things being worked on.
Of course I am not going to reveal everything, but here is the immediate and first portion regarding the 6 month release cycle and new book. There is a lot more on the site to check out for Dark Age followers.
Speaking of Dark Age, I have been dying to get more games of it in, so expect some more details including a primer on the rules of the game, and the best way to get into it. Its a great game and is one of those diamonds in ruff that gets passed over a lot.

New Book, New Release Schedule
We have a new book coming out, surprise surprise, and it features the Prevailers.
This is a new beginning, however, as it marks the start of our new Six Month Release Cycle. Basically, in the past, we've had one big release each year at GenCon, then the contents of that book would be slowly released over the next year. It's nice to see everything so far in advance, but it also grinds on players waiting 8+ months for one model or unit they like. So in that light we've decided to pull our focus from one big book every year to a six month schedule.
What does that mean exactly? It means each book we release will primarily focus on 1 new faction and the releases over the next six months- Not to say the book will only contain 1 faction, but that will be it's primary focus (Example, our new book will focus on Prevailers, with additions to select existing armies).
This also means the book will contain more fiction and fluff about the select faction than was possible before, as it now gets an entire book dedicated to it, rather than 1/3 or 1/2 of an existing one.
Most importantly, however, it means we can consolidate our release schedule so that it's firmly set in advance. Meaning that for each six month period you'll know exactly what and when something is coming out.
We've been making some huge pushes lately to get not only the existing line caught up but also working in the future to get things ready as well... So CORE players rejoice, your time is coming.
