It looks like the long-awaited IKWG will be a little while more in the waiting. Originally the contents of this book were slated to be included with the IKCG, but there was just too much content, so they had to split it in two. This followup to the IKCG will include more of the nitty-gritty details about living in the Iron Kingdoms, as opposed to the game mechanisms needed to run a game there. Sections are expected to be included for each of the major cities in Western Immorren, including more that just a simply statblock of population sizes, wealth, and major industries. We can expect to find an awful lot of fluffy goodness in here.

Privateer Press announced today that they expect to have this out in March of 2005, the most specific promise-date we’ve seen since the original IKCG project was split. The sticker price on this should be around USD$39.95, but if it’s half as good as I expect it to be, it’ll be worth twice that. A smallish mock-up of the cover art is available on the Privateers’ site.
