Hi James, I am brand new to all this (just recently picked up Swords and Wizardry: White Box and White Box FMAG, I couldn’t resist both as the latter was $5) I almost bought the Omnibus you made, but now have discovered the Cyclopedia. In the interest of not having too much overlapping content - is it safe to say that everything in the Omnibus will be in the Cyclopedia? Thanks!
Yes, that's safe to say. The Cyclopedia does compile a lot of my previous WB supplements, but it also cleans them up, streamlines them to fit together, and unifies them as a single rules set. Plus, there is a TON of new content. New Heritages, new classes, new optional rules (like strongholds and genre hacks), new monsters, and new magic items - just to name a few and all previously unreleased.
This sounds awesome! I look forward to backing it when the time comes. Can you share a list of the classes/ heritage-as-classes you plan to include or are you saving that for the kickstarter reveal?
Thanks, and I can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with!
Oh yes, of course. Cover art has been comissioned, approved, and received. We're currently aiming to do a KS for the WBC in the third quarter of this year (2024).
Sorry, kind of a left-field question. I'm not sure if I hallucinated it, but I recall seeing an announcement for a White Star module for the character Phantom Starkiller. Were you involved in that at all? I've been unable to dig up any information. I don't think it was ever released. Excited for more White Star, tho!

Could I trouble you for an update!

Thanks. I’m a long-time admirer and supporter of your work and look forward to supporting the WBC as well.
Any plans for White Star?
Oh yes, there most certainly are...

I'm excited about this. I can't wait for it to become available. The Omnibus and Compendium are two of my favorite RPG works.
