Dead in the Deep will come out in one year

[Black Cat]

This past weekend was the annual Lucca Comics & Games convention in Italy. New informations were revealed regarding the future of the LW series by Ben Devere and Vincent Lazzari: book 30, "Dead in the Deep", will be published next year, at the next Lucca Comics & Games. That's a full year until we see the next LS adventure.

Books 31 and 32 will come out a the same interval and at the same event in 2019 and 2020.

A cover and a map were revealed for book 30 by Alberto Dallago and Francesco Mattioli. I haven't found them online yet but when I do, they will be posted here.

I'm waiting for more information regarding the other LS projects, like the republication of books 23 to 28.

Hi Black Cat

That's superb exciting news.

I'm well excited about it.

I was watching an interview Joe gave in 2012, where he said he had written book 30, but 31 and 32 was yet to be written.

So was LW30 fully written by Joe and put together for final by Ben and Vincent, or was LW30 been written by Vincent?

It is really good news that the series is continuing. It is great to have the RGP supplements and maps, but the books are indeed the key cannon

FOR SOMMERLUND & THE KAI!

From what I remember, Joe only stated that he had outlined the final books, not written them. But I have forwarded your question to Vincent.

I have finally found the cover illustration.

Italian fans at Librogame's Land (www.librogame.net/) attended the last Lucca Comics & Games convention and published a webzine about what they have learned. I used Google Translate for the translation.

-In 'Dead in the Deep', the NO GM will be charged to rescue his colleague Steel Hand who has been captured in the Maakengorge by the forces of darkness during his mission in book 29. Undead creatures and lava pits will be part of the adventure.

-While Joe had the time to outline book 30 before his death, he only had time to make a synopsis for the last two volumes. That means that Vincent Lazzari and Ben DeVere will have to create from almost A to Z all the events for books 31 and 32.

-All three books will be published in the next three years, in November 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.

-A little surprise: book 32 will have 551 sections, just one more than the new book 1.
