That was indefinately delayed. Unfortunately. I would loved to have that in my collection. Maybe someday in the future someone will write a manuscript for it and submit it. And then it is printed.
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."

"As you will it, your Grace."

I would prefer the Cosmo-Knights be left generally as they are. At least in regards to the Cosmic Forge and all the mysteries surrounding it/them. It's better to leave some things to a GM so they can fit it into their own campaign.

I like how the Cosmic Forge is shrouded in mystery. Any more definition in regards to that underlying mystery just kind of ruins the feel for me. The Cosmo-Knight class itself is full of opportunities for more information and variation. It would make a great Rifter article if someone gets around to it.

Still You have to admit that they could be further explored. Even a 96 page source book to expand on them further. It would be cool to have variants. I know I'd like to see them expanded on.

I'd be hesitant to pick up this product if it ever did come out, depending on what is in it.

I'd be afraid that they'd try to make a bunch of new OCCs, break the Cosmo-Knight up into various purposes like a bounty hunter, warrior, diplomat, etc.

The Cosmo-Knights as written should be able to handle just about anything, there's no need to specialize them except through skills.

I don't want to see the Forge detailed anymore, it should be kept a vague deific force.

Not really sure what else there would be to cover and fill a book.

Speaking of which, is there anywhere in the megaverse where I can find info on the Xodian collective?

That is the reason it's always up to the GM for what is final in their game. :D

Aramanthus, there is always the decision not to use the book as well...


I am trying to convince a certain freelance writer to do it after his other projects are finished.
