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.
