Any news on a release date?

None that I have seen. I'm hoping for some new of it being printed, or even shipping. It kind of feels like a Kickstarter with the radio silence.

There apparently has been a series of unfortunate events that are listed (at least in part) in The Lounge. Affirmation that they want to see the project through, but no release date. I know some TMPers are in contact with them occasionally so, perhaps, they can shed more light on the subject.

I do NOT "know" anything, but I fear the problem has become a financial one. Between a long period of injury/recovery that Lori went through, the effects of Covid on income, and other matters beyond Sergeants 3's prediction or control, it may be that the necessary cash actually to print/ship copies has simply become another victim.

It MIGHT be that the Brom Brotherhood may collectively have to offer a hand to help right the ship and get it back underway.

I believe there's enough us willing to buy TSATF40 again (or even the first time*) if that's what it will take. I figure we all owe it to Larry's memory of the DECADES of great games and companionship he provided us with.

I'm with you on that. Buy it again. Perhaps to sweeten the deal Lori could throw in a pdf copy with the receipt e-mail for us to review and comment on.

I would be more than happy to purchase another copy.

THE DELAY WITH OUR RELEASING TSATF40 IS NOT FINANCIAL; it's the fact that for the last 2 years our apartment building was up for sale and we had people walking through constantly. It sold on December 17, 2021 and since then there has been a daily concern on our part (and that of the other tenant) of the new landlord's plans. We came to an agreement on Friday April 1 regarding our lease, and while it's temporary, it will settle the turmoil a bit. This coupled with my firm's relocation to a newly purchased office building and all the reshuffling, setting up in a new space, has caused us to put "life" ahead of "hobby". and is the main reason TSATF40 is still in a holding pattern. Please know that work is being done by us but I can't give a definite release date. As I said previously, if this is not acceptable to you, we will of course refund your purchase price.

Lori & Christy, real life always comes first. Take care of yourselves first and foremost. The rest in due time. Personally I'm in no hurry as we've been more than active and happy with our 20th Anniversary Edition and will continue to do so until such time as we rejoice over the completed publishing of the 40th Anniversary Edition!!!!!

Be well and take care,
Sgt Guinness

At this rate, perhaps it would be better to shoot for a 50th Anniversary Edition?
