New Dates and Special Editions

We have release dates for you! Not the one you’ve been hounding us for (Jim is still writing Peace Talks–no ETA), but for some great projects that will help ease the wait.

First, Subterranean Press’ illustrated special edition of Small Favor is in stock and shipping. They still have a few copies of their Limited Edition up for grabs, so act fast!

We’d announced previously that the Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game is slated for March 2017, but now that it’s right around the corner, we figured a reminder couldn’t hurt! Grab some friends and answer the ultimate what-if scenario: what if Harry was on the scene with allies who weren’t there in the original story? Pre-order it through your favorite local independent gaming store!

UPDATE: Evil Hat has contacted us to let us know that the game is shipping to Kickstarter backers in March, and starts its public preorder on their website in a few weeks, but it does not actually release to game stores until June.

Next, in June, Shawn Speakman is publishing a gorgeous special edition of the Shadowed Souls anthology, featuring the Molly-POV story “Cold Case,” about her first mission in her new role post-Cold Days. And if those special editions are a bit beyond the budget, you can still buy a print of Chris McGrath’s riveting cover art from his website.

Then get excited, because Straight Outta Tombstone, the David Boop anthology featuring Jim’s story “A Fistful of Warlocks,” hits stores July 4th. Luccio fighting necromancers in the Wild West? Yes, please.

July should also see the release of The Dresden Files Accelerated RPG (aka DFAE), which merges the wizardly awesomeness of the Dresden Files RPG with the sleek, story-based, rules-lite Fate Accelerated system.

Also upcoming:

The next comic, Dog Man, is now in the script phase. It will be adapted by Mark Powers and pencilled by Diego Galindo. No release date yet.

“Small Problems”, a short story for Larry Correia and Bryan Thomas Schmidt’s upcoming Monster Hunter International anthology. Due out some time in 2017.

Enjoy! As always, you can consult our Upcoming Works page for all your release date-related needs. Bring on 2017!
