- Book 2: Due out May 2008 and is all background. In a perfect world this book would have come out sooner, but some real world issues got in the way. Book 2 covers monsters (and spells out their abilities in game terms), adds more magic options, expands on the history, and really fleshes things out.
- Book 3: Due out August 2008 and deals with magic.
We learned a lot with Colonial Gothic, and there are things I wish we did differently. These lessons have helped make Book 2 and the rest of the planned support better.
Thanks,

Looking forward to more. I liked this game a lot, but agreed with the reviewer that there was too little of what made the setting different (the supernatural world) in the core book, so new material is welcomed.
