Hm, maybe I have not even discussed this publicly?

The material for the BoB is just too much to put into one book. It would be larger than BoK&L, and the Battle Enemy Tables are unnecessary for ordinary players to have, though essential for Gamemasters.

Hey players--"unnecessary" but hekka lotta fun anyway, if you are a medieval enthusiast! And reading it should not harm your roleplaying.

Pendragon Book of Armies gives twenty-six armies to fight, eight of them period-by-period Arthurian Knights, seven are other British Armies, and eight are Continental Armies. All of them are tailored to the time and/or place to exploit as much color as possible, from old beggers with sticks to zumbooruk, they're here.

Currently at about 70 pages.

This will be released at the same time as Book of Battle.

Pendragon Book of Armies is finished, by me, and will be sent to scrutinizers to check the thousands of stats that are in it for consistency and error.

It will be laid out much faster than BoB, as this one consists in large part of d20 encounter tables.

BoA will be released simultaneously with BoB.

Sorry. :(

Today is Tuesday, Dec 15 2009.

The layout has had its delay (mea culpa).
The printer has had his, twice (once in printing late, once in shipping later than promised)

I am told that the books will arrive here tomorrow.
Let us see if UPS is any better at their word.

I will have them out in two days, with all current European orders sent first if it takes two days.
Then we can see if the USPS (and your friendly local post, if outside the US) is good for their word in this busy, mailing season.

I apologize for these delays, beg everyone's patience, and ask you watch here for further news.

They were. The books arrived late yesterday.

Just about all the non-US orders went out of my door about ten minutes ago. The rest of them will go tomorrow, and probably most of the US orders too.

-- Greg, who is as happy as all of you put together
