Comment on Announcing Empyrean, a new RPG from Lonesome Robot Press by Jack Graham

I figured I should give an update on this, since it’s generated a lot of curiosity.

The initial date I gave for putting out Empyrean material was a bit ambitious, despite the fact that most of the setting material is already written. Empyrean is a game that Derek Swirsky & I developed six or seven years ago for a home campaign. It started out as a setting for Traveller; later we wrote rules. As luck would have it, we used a percentile system — making converting a lot of the material to EP extremely easy.

However, we got a bit ahead of ourselves and underestimated the amount of time we’d be spending on other projects. I’ve been spending a huge amount of time on Eclipse Phase, so getting to the task of editing Empyrean has been rough. That said, Derek & I remain committed to releasing Empyrean material, and we still plan to port it to the EP system. At this time we don’t have any set release dates, but I do hope that we’ll be able to put something out by the end of 2010.

Thanks for all of your interest and encouragement.

Hoping to get more updates on this, I’d definately purchase a copy.

I’m totally looking forward to this, and backward, in a strange relativistic sort of way. I just want it.

Jack, I just saw this. If you are looking for other writers for the main books or for supplements, I’d love to be part of the effort, this looks *very* cool.

Seriously? That seems like about fourth from the bottom on the list of Conversations I’d Welcome with Strangers. Maybe that’s a moment to pretend to only speak Klingon.

A somewhat less generous (but quite interesting) critique by the lads at Atomic Razor.

Hey Jack, glad you had a good time! Sorry I didn’t see more of you but it’s always a mad time at a WorldCon.

Read your stuff on the plane, liked it! Keep it up!

Keep in touch.

Comment on Caribou (new story) by Jack Graham

Thinking they were moose antlers was actually my own mistake, Tyler. And I’m doubly happy to know they’re from Barren Land caribou, as these are the exact kind I was writing about in the story (although the range of land I have them on isn’t where they would be in real life, far as I know). Thanks for writing in, and thanks for posting the photo!

Also, for anyone who’s curious, here’s a web site about Bern Will Brown.

Hi,

they are ACTUALLY caribou antlers. They are in Colville lake and the antlers all come from Barren Land Caribou shot not far from the community. The man who made the antler tree is Bern Will Brown a living legend of the NWT. So you can tell all of the detractors that they can travel there and talk to the man and see them for themselves.
