Forge World: Games Day UK 2009

To try to be fair to Forgeworld, they have said all year that the 2.0 Rulebook would not be released until the end of this year (so any time in the next month or three) and…that would be it for WAB this year. They never intended to release any WAB Supplements this year,as 2009 was about Forgeworld "Getting up to speed" with their new charge, so to speak. So yes, its frustrating, but it is absolutely according to plan apparently. The authors need time to write (and perhaps in some cases rewrite) their books for an intended three book a year schedule, starting 2010. And Forgeworld need time to set that very system up. That isn't easily done, especially if Forgeworld are still relying on largely out of house contributors (are they still?).

Do we absolutely know for certain that no work at all is being done by authors behind the scenes? I think perhaps that actually it might be, unless some of you here are privy to information I am unaware of (entirely possible).

Once WAB2 is out, Forge World should in 2010 begin to start releasing our long awaited supplements (such as the Successors!) and kick off with their intended new printing run of around three WAB supplements a year. Or so I was told back in March anyhow.

We'll soon see if that still comes to pass.
