It was announced at the same time as Mythmakers. The Developers said at GenCon last year that if they've learned one thing, it's never announce a project before it's ready. They're actually in Pre-Order right now with instant Dev PDFs and final PDFs when they finish. Final tag on the game is $75+tax though.
When I get mine, I plan on stating out the Shadow Girls character in it.

Probably either bottled Sangria or Blackberry Mint Iced Tea. The first should be a product of Mexico, but probably isn't. The second I discovered at Macaroni's Bar and Grill, and now make myself with Toranni's syrup.
Same Q- fav non-alcoholic drink.

Coke, but not the kind they sell most places these days. I'm talking about Coke like they sell in the glass bottles, the one with actual sugar in it.
Next?

As a hopeless caffinee addict I love me my Pop (Soda for you weirdos). My current absolute fav is Pepsi Max. I'm pretty much caffinee immune at this point but the stuff has some kick to it. The lime Pepsi Max is pretty awesome too.
Go forth and Answer the Same Question!

For some odd reason, I remember seeing this question before in this thread… Ah, well, no matter.
Among the carbonated, used to be Dr. Pepper, but can't have it anymore  Now I mostly stick with Ginger Ale, which makes a decent second choice (as long as it's real Ginger Ale, and not the Cola & Lemon-Lime mix that some places pass off… which I can't have either). Jones or Old Brooklyn Cream Soda is also high on the list. And as the Old Brooklyn Cream Soda comes in a clear glass bottle, it also makes for an interesting sight gag on those who've never seen it before.
But overall, it's got to be a vanilla milkshake.
Same question to the next. poster

Gosh are you people ignorant?! I said Lemon, Lime and Bitters. And I mean the propper stuff they make at pups, not the prebought mix. I drink it at the moment as with the current drivers permits in Aus. Because I am not on a full permit yet I can not have any drinks and drive at all. Alcoholic I mean.
How do drivers permits work where you are from?

In most states of the U.S., it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol at all, and in many states possession is also a crime ("possession with intent to consume", even if there isn't any intent), regardless of the person's driving status, unless it is provided for the under-21 by their own parent or legal guardian in the parent-or-guardian's own home. In NY, at least, all restaurants or stores are supposed to check the age of a person buying alcohol, regardless of whether that person looks 16 or 96. (Sign posted in the "Hooters" in Islandia, NY: "Please don't be offended. We even carded George Burns.")
Some restaurants have been known provide champaign during certain parties to all guests of the party without checking age, but they're lot legally permitted to do that.
Many states in the U.S. issue a Learner's Permit at 16, and will then issue a full driver's license to anyone with a permit who passes their road test. NY will issue a "junior" (restricted) license to under-18's, unless they are 17 and have a "blue card" from completing a Driver's Education class, and will not honor any driver's license from out of state unless the person is 18. The restrictions imposed by a junior license vary by county. In some, the restrictions are the same as the learner's permit, while in others there are no restrictions, and in NY City itself, a junior license is only good for proof of age, you're not allowed to drive with one at all.

OK here in Australia, when you turn 16 you can apply for you "L's" or learners permit. Which is a sit down computer quiz test. When you pass them you then get your "L's" which you must have for at least 12 months, and complete over 100 hours driving. Which requires you to have someone with you in the passenger seat with a full permit. (your maximum speed is 80km/hour)
Then when that is done you do a driving test with an instructor. When you pass your test you can then move onto have your "Red P's" which mean you can drive on your own, but only at a maximum of 90km/hour. When you have had them for 1 year you then have to go for another test to get your "Green P's" which mean you can pull a trailer or a boat etc and drive at 100km/hour. Then after having them for 2 years (i think) you can apply for your "Blacks" which are your full permit.
The Red Ps are the only driving test. The rest are computer tests.
Each test costs between $50 and $70 and when you finally pass a test the copy of our permit costs approx $30-$50. So yeah we get ripped off.
Also legal drinking age is 18. (Although there is talk of increasing it to 21 which I think would be a largerly stupid idea) And the only permit which you can drink and drive is your Blacks which have a 0.02 tolerance for alcohol in your system.
What colour is your sky right now? (Mine is a nice shade a baby blue, with the slight smattering of fluffy bunny white)

It is full dark here. So, because of light pollution, a very dark gray.
And for driving, there is a maximum blood alcohol level of 0.05%, above that the charge is Driving While Ability Impaired, which is a crime but not as bad as DWI/DUI. Above 0.1%, it is Driving While Intoxicated / Driving Under the Influence, which has some very big penalties.
Continuing the sky color inquiry.

Blue, with light fluffy clouds.
I'm sitting here on hold trying to get a payment that disappeared from my bank account to appear on the bill statement. What's the most annoying hold music you've been forced to listen to?

Sky: Chalky-blue. Don't know why. Maybe it's the window.
In MI, where I grew up, you got the Learner's Permit and have to drive with a licensed companion until the test, all this at about 16 typically (or 17 for me, since my Dad insisted on teaching me I think parallel parking or something before taking the big test, but he was too busy so I went and did a passable job).
Interesting little law here in Wisconson: As long as a parent is present, a child over 18 can consume alcohol (presumably, just that person's child, I don't think he can have a kegger with his buddies). Yet, there is a movement to get rid of this law.
As for hold music…I don't call anywhere that often, so I'm not usually on hold.

Hold music. Would have to be companies I call that have annoying like 2 note ditties played over and over with a slight intermittance of recordings saying they are the best company for the job because of 'x'.
Most annoying book you have ever read based on the fact it was the start of a series and the rest of the series wont be available for years?

Not in the wait for the second, but in the third. I've been frustrated by two.
George Lucas and Chris Claremont's series to follow up on Willow, the third took a couple years to come out, and Claremont took so long to write it, he kept forgetting what he'd written, and introduced a minor character like six times, each a little bit differently.
David Weber's Hradani series, again a long time passed between the second and third books, since Weber is writing four other series, and his publisher's emphasis is on the Honor Harrington series. When the book finally came out, it started out pretty good, but kind of cheesed out in the ending.
Variant on the question: Books you had to wait, for that weren't worth the wait?

Actually it was 98 to 03 to get from Green Rider to First Rider's Call. Then to 07 for The High Kings Tomb. if you figure both the last two were over 650 pages, that's like page ever 2 and a half days, which is faster than the Daves.
BAZINGA!

Same Q.
Any Textbook I ordered online? They're never worth the wait.
Because I tend to be poor, and utilize public libraries, I don't tend to need to wait for books because I'm starting in on them years after they finished. The closest I came to not worth the wait was the Meridith Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Between books 2 and 4 the timeline advances less than week. It's 1200 pages, and 10 graphic sex scenes with no plot advancement. I actually put the book down in disgust at one point saying "yeah yeah yeah, more porn, can I get some plot now please?"
Same Q.
