Great interview!

The title is a nice homage to a really great novel by Iain M. Banks (The Player of Games – if have not read this novel – READ IT! It is that good.)

Steve Russell is amazing! Patronage projects are the most fun ever.

Yeah the interview is just a little dated, If I had a chance to updated we would have talked about Clinton J. Boomer’s Coliseum Morpheuon (we had not even announced the project yet at this time), and I would have mentioned now we budget for Ashton Sperry’s Paper Minitures!

P.S
Yackthorn they make perfect servents if you don’t leave them there, tell them to guard an area and then send 3,000 of your knights to take up residence and don’t tell them about your undead blade troll!

Blade Trolls make for terrible animated undead servants! Alas though removing the maleficent vessel of theirs was quite exuberant.

Well anyway glad you had such a good interview, and anything Right Publishing does is always fun!

Knolwage is power, and power is everything.

Great interview indeed.
I have some knowledge about Rites of Publishing, but its interesting to learn a bit more this way.

I have the opportunity to chat with Steve, and its allways an interesting outview of the creative process.

Wll best of lucks to Rites of Publishing and all its projects, I hope to join a few more one of this days.

Arcana Evolved being in-print still would be quite awesome; although I’ve a few copies in storage, the after-market price is pretty steep for others to opt-in to the game.

Nice interview, though, and definitely some awesome projects through Rite Publishing, too…of course, I could count as a biased party now.

Nope, Jade Oath is now 340 pages of setting material plus an adventure that has yet to be written.

Great interview Steve and Jeremy. Nice to hear some of the ideas and principles behind the move to the Arcana Evolved world. I agree with Bill about having a properly fleshed out area, that would be great.

As a small update, there will certainly be a location map for the litorians supplement – a typical settlement for the nomadic race.

Is that 300 page count estimate for Jade Oath still accurate?

Nice interview. I like the point about having one specific area of Diamond throne fleshed out for DMs. That would be cool.

I just wanted to thank Jeremy, for taking the time out to interview little old me.
