btw Simon,

Did you ever come up with a log for 3rd party publishers?

No, sorry...

Just say SUPERS! compatible (it's Badaboompro font, for reference)

Simon,

Have you heard anything from C7 about when Supers! will be out in print yet?

[Simon W]

I wish I knew. I don't hear anything from C7 at the moment. I have a feeling they may have taken on a bit too much at the moment.

I definitely agree they've taken on too much. It sucks that your game gets back burned because of it. I pre-ordered the book, but I wish you had it still on Lulu, cause I'd cancel my preorder with them, and put the money in your pocket.

I took it down from LULU on the basis of the C7 deal. The annoying thing is that it was getting a lot of attention on several forums 8-10 months ago and if I'd kept it on LULU, I'd have made some good sales (and I could have done with the money). Now it looks like it won't be until at least Feb that it goes on sale and it'll be lost amongst all C7's other stuff. I'll be lucky to see any money at all from SUPERS! once the printers, distributors and C7 have taken their cut. Still, I've learned a good lesson from this and I will be withdrawing from C7 gradually and getting everything back under my own wing again during this year.

It kind of ticks me off how they treat some games. On top of that, they seem to get gathering up the supers game of 2010 (ICONS, Supers! and now BASH UE will be rereleased by them, which worries me also), but only ICONS really got the attention, and Supers! got shunted like an unwanted stepchild. I'm worried they're going to end up doing the same thing to BASH UE too. I really hate not having the book yet. I still want to support Supers! with a 3rd party release, but without a rulebook, I guess it's good I delayed putting something together (even for the other games I was going to do it in)

[urbwar]

I got a coupon for a copy of the Supers! PDF (because of my preorder), which is kind of funny, as I bought it (and the old supplement) direct from RPGNow when it came out. I guess in a way that's a good sign, because that hopefully means the book is at (or being resent) to the printer.

Wishing luck on this. I haven't heard much from any of the Indie guys of late.

I heard from C7 yesterday - SUPERS! should be in the C7 warehouse within 2 weeks...don't hold your breath

I am sorry to anyone who has been waiting, but it has been out of my hands since about July 2010

Simon,

That is hopefully good news. I hope that it comes true. I don't think you need to apologize though. C7 is the one who should. Getting info on this product hasn't been easy (I know, cause I've inquired both via email and on Facebook about my preorder, and they take awhile to respond). I just hope that once the book is out, we can try and get the buzz going again. I always try and name drop it in super hero threads on rpg.net, and I know 1 or 2 others do as well. Plus with a real book, I can actually plan on running it for NerdNYC when I can.

[Jaysun]

I'm glad to hear its release could be soon...I'll be picking up the printed edition.

Like urbwar I try to mention Supers over at RPGnet as well when I engage in superhero threads.

[urbwar]

well, still no sign that preorders of the print version are out yet. I'm still waiting on 3 other books I ordered from their last sale at the end of 2010. I think that and the Supers! preorders are the last things I will order direct from C7. I'm not happy with their habitual lack of communication (I emailed them about my order almost a week ago, and resent the email again tonight). I'm pretty much fed up with them as a consumer

[Simon W]

A couple of threads started at RPGNet on Saturday from guys who picked the SUPERS! book up and liked it, which is really cool. Here's one of the threads:
