As an author involved in all three, let me give a little more info: 1. Heroquest 2.0. Artwork is still being finished, but otherwise it is pretty much done.
2. The Sartar Book. This one is big - a one volume handbook for Sartar, its cults, tribes, places, creating characters and clans, heroquesting and a campaign arc. Text is about 85% finished, then it is time for art and maps. I reckon we will have something available in time for Tentacles.
3. Pavis Book. Loz and I will be doing this once we are done with the Sartar Book. We have a structure, several new scenarios, additional cults, and lots of new material.

Keep in mind: the writers on all these projects are Loz, Ian, David and myself (and Robin in Heroquest 2.0), with plenty of input from Greg and with the art being coordinated by Simon. We aren't paid, we are doing this for the love of the setting and the game.
