As one of the aggravated fans and a writer for the Paragon City Operative's Manual, I can only hope that the silence from Eden is broken soon. As much as I'd like a paycheck for my work, I'd really like to see the game even more.

I entirely sympathize with Eden's financial difficulties - the loss of the Buffy and angel licenses was a serious blow - but at the same time, stonewalling the fans and freelancers isn't a Good Thing, IMO. It's getting harder and harder to defend the game from both the Eden fanboys that want it to die in favor of other projects and the folks that come onto Eden's boards and start threads deliberately crapping on the game.

Fingers crossed here, but I'm not holding out much hope for the release.

The Quick Start rules have been out for ages. My big concern is that there's been somewhere between a lot and eleventy-seven million game changes since all the writing was done. The game, if it ever comes out, will require massive overhauling in the background and zone writeups to be worthwhile for a City fan, at the very least, not to mention the new powersets and powerset changes.

Exactly. I'm damned proud of the work I did, but at this point I'd be happy to take the kill fee. Eden hasn't just dropped the ball on this, it's like they never picked it up. As things stand now, the background material'll require massive revisions to be marketable at all.

That'd be great - I enjoyed working on the CoH RPG with Manticore a *lot*, and I'd like to hear what the status is on it, and my payment for it...Eden, unfortunately, hasn't been forthcoming at all.
