Ghost's of Saltmarsh

Is there any word from the Devs on when "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" will be out on FG? From what I have read it looks like it will have a 21 May release date.

Assuming everything goes well it will be released on the normal date when all FG modules get released which is two weeks before the normal release date - the same date as the preferred stores or whatever they are called (they only exist in the states as far as I can discern).

YEAHHHH! Looking forward to this release. The U series was so much fun. I did a conversion and playtest of U1 for 5e a couple of years ago but my computer died and I lost everything. But I was having trouble with the Maps for U2 & 3. I am not a map maker so I was exploring commissioning someone to make them. No with this coming out all problems are solved. 8)

Woohoo! Yes, I too am looking forward to Ghost of Saltmarsh and running it in FG's. The Secrets of Saltmarsh series has always been a favorite of mine.

I'm quite excited for this pack.

The Ile of the Abby was the very first adventure I ever played, and I'm very curios how it should have been handled - it was pure chaos, but lots of fun.

Ironically, I am working on converting 'Isle of the Abby' to 5E for my homebrew campaign. Be interesting to see how they did it.

I thought I heard an interview with Chris Perkins where he said they were standardizing release dates. So Amazon, FLGS, and VTT get it all at the same time. I think it may have been on Dragon Talk or Between the Sheets.

I am just hopeful for the fantastic maps of the earlier modules (like Lost Mines) as opposed to the sad maps of the last two offerings. However I am grateful for the map upgrades that were in the FG versions... so much nicer.

That would suck for local stores. The only reason I willingly pay the extra cash and time on the store option is they have it weeks in advance. If I can save 15-20 dollars a book at Amazon, there really isn't any reason to bother with an hour round trip to the game store to pay $20 extra.

I hated the new style maps at first, but I quickly came around. The basic black and white line style makes the tokens pop out where, on some of the more colorful maps, I have to use tokens with bold borders or I lose them in the noise.
