[UA] Release schedule stuff

[Gareth Hanrahan]

I grabbed the following off the UA forum at gamingoutpost.com, and I haven't
seen the same news posted here.

It really nothing we didn't know already, but it's a bit of a downer when
you see it in black and white.

Yep, WEEP will be out in June. It's another Tynesian monster of
waythickness.

We have trimmed back the UA release schedule from our original plan, which
was to do 4 books per year. It's looking more like every 6 months now. The
main problems are twofold: sales are not really huge (supplements are, at
best, a break-even proposition; continuing sales of already published books
is what butters our bread in the UA department), meaning other projects take
priority in claiming resources, and John Tynes, who manages the line as a
freelance editor, has a lot of other (and better-paying) projects on his
plate.
But let me ask this question: Would people rather get two books a year or
four books a year, supposing that it adds up to the same number of pages?
(For example, WEEP could have been split into two books of maybe 96 pp each,
released 3 months apart.)
