ABOUT THE RELEASE DATES
If you have been an Arc Dream customer for a while, you've
noticed a tendency toward slippage when it
comes to release dates. This is not a good thing. We
try to avoid posting release dates as long as possible,
to prevent customer confusion and frustration. Then
inevitably interest in a project builds until customers
get frustrated with us for not posting due dates. So
we post due dates. Then we miss them. It's terribly
unprofessional and embarrassing. But in all honesty,
it's not likely to change. Tabletop roleplaying is
a small industry, and Arc Dream is a small company;
it consists of exactly two part-time partners and a
number of freelancers who have other, better-paying,
more reliable work that often (and understandably)
takes priority. All of which is meant not to evoke
tears and heartache, but to beg your patience.
Once we make a game available for pre-orders, you can
count of the fact that it WILL come out in the foreseeable
future. But it probably won't come out as quickly as
we would like.
Please bear that in mind when you read the expected release
dates below. If worse comes to worst and you just can't
stand to wait any longer, remember that we offer a
full refund on any order that is cancelled before it
ships, no questions asked. But of course we would much
rather send you the finished product and hear how much
you enjoy it after all.
