That's Roderick, please, or Rory. I do not acknowledge "Rod" as a valid name.

We have four Hero Bands described in the main text, and will have sample characters for at least 3 of them. I don't want to elaborate more because I'm in the middle of writing them up and need my writing time. In general, that's why I haven't been active on the list much. Once HW is out, I'll have a freer schedule and will be able to answer questions. There's also my NDA with Greg, so I can't give you too much inside scoop.

As a general note to anyone that says "Issaries needs to publish X": Write one up & send it to Greg - he's looking for support material for the web page (no, I don't think he's paying for it, but it is a good way to get your writing in front of him if you are thinking of writing for HW).
Companies only publish what people are willing to write. Some game companies have their authors on staff and so can produce material with a specific tiome-line in mind. Others, like Issaries, rely solely on freelancers for their output, so cannot "target" specific areas of the world for books - they can ask for submissions on a certain area, but if no-one wants to write it, it won't get written. The books in the Issaries timeline are those that people are working on right now. Greg specifically asked people to write them, but he will need freelancers to sustain the effort.
