There’s a LOT going on with Legend of Bill, (all of which I will announce again when each item is FINAL and CONFIRMED) and I want to fill you in!

Legend of Bill Card Game: Is in production NOW by Ken Whitman, creator of the award-winning GROO card game, and games for TSR, WWF, The 3 Stooges, and more. Wait ’til you see this. NOTE: This will not be available for the holiday season. After much discussionon the work and quality that needs to go into it (Ken, like me, is a quality perfectionist) we’re gonna do this up RIGHT and not rush it. We need to sell pre-orders with special incentives as well to fund it, we need beta-testers, and I am going to to produce a special sketchbook and some shirts, etc. to go with it. We are looking at a Spring release, if not possibly earlier, such as February (In plenty of time for con season 2011) P.S. If the card game does well, we are already talking expansion packs, and frankly, the possibility of an eventual d20 game. It’s all up to YOU, and how this sells!

Frank PLUSH DOLL: Is a go. A sample is in the works as we speak and I should have it soon, which I will post pix of HERE. If all goes well, we could be looking at its availability by the HOLIDAY SEASON. (which is the goal)

2011 Legend of Bill Wall Calendar: Is very likely. Clear some wall space. It will be available by the holiday season if all goes right (I will know soon)

New LegendofBill.com website design: Coming SOON. been working on this a long time, working it all out, and it will be far more rbust after it launches, as will there will be a  very robust store and some other stuff. News to come!

LoB trade paperback BOOK: We (as in myself and Th3rd World Publishing) are looking at possibly publishing a Legend of Bill trade paperback, as in, a full book collection (in full color) as opposed to a #2 issue comic book, to sell in a broader market, and to add more content and fun. News to come. By holiday season? Not sure yet. We’re talking about it this week some more. The book format will likely be in the old Garfield horizontal format, which I love, as also seen in the recent LICD books.

LoB Miniatures (yes, like the D&D minis): In talks. News to come. Possibly an addition as special items to be sold with the card game, for fun. Whatcha think?

Super-secret, secret project that will flip your lid: To be announced. You WILL flip your lid. Trust me.

Bottom line: Legend of Bill is GROWING. It’s getting attention. Traffic is good, and growing. Folks are wanting to invest in it, to make things for it, to grow it. And it’s all thanks to YOU. I hope I can count on you to help drive these projects home, to grow LoB, and my ultimate goal, to grow it enough to increase its output per week, its story, its WORLD!! Let’s get BARBARIC, BABY!!

I invite YOUR THOUGHTS and desires on these items, as I will be looking to you for support! Thank you, Lords & Ladies! Legend of Bill’s fate rests in YOUR hands!
