It's been going around that the Mortasheen RPG will be released in just a month, but I never meant to kick off a rumor like that if it was, in fact, my fault. What I've tried to make clear is that I'll be done the ART within the month.

The final editing process could take another month, could take a couple. It's all going smoothly so far, but there's still no telling a definite date. Depending on when we complete it, we may even have to hold out a while longer to release it when people will be more likely to buy it; we don't want to be overshadowed by some huge D&D release or catch people right when they're overloaded with holiday bills, for instance. We do have to take profits into consideration first, and it really would be cool if I could live off something other than food stamps and student loans if only for a few weeks :)

It's still going to be a PDF download for $15, currently with well over a hundred color drawings of mine and a whole, whole lot of extra flavor, story and character stuff that you might like whether or not you play the actual game.

No matter when the RPG release I hope to do something Mortasheen related for Halloween this year, possibly some sort of art contest or maybe just a huge, continuous wave of new monsters. We'll see how it goes!

Aw man, I would love both of those! One thing I've always hoped you'd do but have been skeptical of was a design-your-own-Mortasheen contest, with the winner's being added to canon, so that'd be really cool, too.
And it just occurred to me that you're probably getting a present from me this year...

Aw! Yay :D

Well, like any RPG world I figure once the game comes out people can make their own monsters, stat them and share them online anyway. I don't think there's any real way to have a set "canon" :p

Yeah, that's true, but it'd still be cool for any of your fans to have one of their designs drawn by you.
I'm not sure I can save it till your birthday if I can finish it before then, though...

Pretty cool news. Just make sure you don't release it when the next edition of D&D comes out, which is sometime next year. I know you posted some info on your game on your website, I need to read over it some time. Once you do have some sort of release, I'll try to play it with my gaming group and give you feedback on the game. If anything, people will be intrigued by the crazy art and creatures the Mortasheen world.
