Compleat Series
I am in the final phases of acquiring the rights to the Compleat series of books. This is the proto-Arcanum material in The Compleat Alchemist, The Compleat Adventurer, and The Compleat Spellcaster. These are wonderful books that include some material that never made it into Arcanum. I am going to have some fun with these! …

Upcoming Material
So… Arcanum has been around for a while now. The r1.5 book is available and has as few problems as is humanly possible at this point. So what is coming next?

Errata r1.3 updated
The errata documents have been updated; this impacts all releases of Arcanum. The errors found are exceedingly minor, but I wanted to record them and get them corrected for the 1.4 release. I suspect that release will be this fall sometime.
Following Arcanum
Follow-up books for Arcanum are well underway! Arcanum: Advanced: Advanced is a collection of rules and ideas that I wanted to develop while I was putting the 30th Anniversary Edition together. However, they tended to fall outside the scope of what was to be an anniversary edition. I put those ideas aside and told myself …
