It's official: all of the spells have been Reforged. There were some that we dropped altogether, and some that we really needed to rework to correct balance issues/diversify repetitive content. The final result is a colorful, extensive smorgasbord of spells that we're sure you'll love at your table.
All of our stretch goals are completed and ready for editing, with a couple of exceptions. Gears of Spellcasting required some revisions which are due today. Strong Holds and Spellcasting as a Trade needed some changes as well, with the former due on the 18th, and the latter due within a week.
Once those are complete, we'll send them all into editing. In the meantime, Peter Bradley is hard at work laying out our spells, now that he's finished a sketch of the cover for Aranowl! Check it out:
Reforging of all of our spells continues! We are expecting the spells from the Players Guide to Aihrde to finish their reforging and land on Steve's desk today. Those from Amazing Adventures Companion and Hallowed Oracle should finish by the end of next week. With that, all of our spells will be reforged for their inclusion in the new Adventurers Spellbook!
We are now hard at work on our stretch goals. Most of these should be submitted by the 4th, and will then go into editing.
A quick update as we unwind at Gencon and unleash Castles & Crusades at that venue. But the Elemental Spell book has been reforged and dropped on Steve's desk. We'll get those to layout soon and update the PDf. Now we dive into the random spells. These should not take long.
BUT
Amazing Adventures is an RPG of science, sorcery, pugilistic pummeling, gun-toting, sword-wielding, zombie fighting, B17-flying, gadget carrying adventure! FULLY compatible with Castles & Crusades! And it has come to Backekit! FULL Compatible with the Siege Engine and it will enjoy a new adventure by steve that begins in a WAFFLE HOUSE!
Work continues on the Elemental Spellbook! We are working through this list of spells alphabetically, and have closed in on the letter T. We hope to have the whole list done by the end of this week or early next week!
Additionally, since Jeremy has translated a bunch of AD&D spells for Castles & Crusades, we felt it would be a waste not to include these in the Adventurers Spellbook as well. So when you get your tome in hand, keep an eye out for some awesome new content!

I and everyone here at TLG would like to thank you all again for your patience, we are literally working on two production / fulfillments at the same time with this project and Gary Gygax's World Builders Archive so its been interesting, but we really thank you for understanding.
