We're Back - Seriously Wednesday, 18 June 2008. 10:58pm by Trent
Greetings everyone. First off, I'd like to apologize for the long derth of updates. In the past few months various Octavirites have been engaged in third-party development that has taken up a lot of time. We're to a point where we're ready to manage some of those issues, however, so we're gearing up.
First off, on the RPG front. We have decided to move forward with the development of 4th Edition product. Unfortunately, our first impulse, which was to produce Octavirate Presents with 4th edition variant statblocks is not allowed under the GSL. As a result, we're going to be developing new 4th edition product lines. Development of further 3.5 product is up in the air at this time. Our 3.0/3.5 product lines will still be available, and until a 4th edition of D20 modern is produced, ExorSystems will be continuing as a d20 Modern product.
We will be looking for 4th edition playtesters 'soon'. Also, we're looking at ways of tightening up the forums so we can actually start using them again. The spam-bots have made things nigh impossible.
On the comics front, I want to begin updating Upgrade and Beatnik baby soon. However, contracted comic work is starting to come in and it takes priority due to more mundane matters.
I hope to have the sketchbook stocked up with more material soon. To those who are still hanging in there, thank you. Octavirate isn't gone, but we are undergoing a stunning metamorphosis.

Gary Gygax, father of the role-playing game and co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died today. Early reports indicate that he died of natural causes.
Gary was a great inspiration to many people, myself included. Regardless of what your RPG of choice is, none of it would be there if not for Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. Gary, you will be missed.
