This was an update from Erick Wujcik as of 6/22/07:
The new website is DicelessbyDesign.com -- a place-holder -- but it will be much more active by this time in July, 2007.
That is the plan. To publish a 2nd edition of Amber Diceless, as well as to put out other publications... and to revitalize the Amber Diceless community, both off-line and on-line.
What's happening is still confidential, but things are proceeding according to plan.
Edwin Voskamp has his own website, voskamp.com, and there's even a page specifically about his relationship with Amber Diceless: voskamp.com/hobbies/rpg/amber/
Edwin first played Amber with me back in 1993 (when I was play-testing Shadow Knight), and he's been at it ever since. Since then he's been to just about every Ambercon around (certainly in Detroit, Portland, Toronto and London, plus others), and he's Game Mastered extensively, as well as played with most of the prominent Amber Diceless Game Masters.
On the publishing end, Edwin did a lot of the heavy lifting involved in getting the latest Tekumel RPG out from Guardians of Order (see www.tekumel.com/). Edwin has also created other role-playing systems and worlds, most notably his recent Shadowworld Campaign (see www.shadowworld.org/). Plus, he's a successful high-tech business guy.
Eric Todd works in the electronic game biz, as Senior Development Director for Maxis, where he is currently the guy in charge of engineering for the upcoming Will Wright game, Spore (yes, Sims/SimCity Will Wright, yes, the infamous Spore)
Eric has been attending Ambercon in Detroit since before Amber Diceless was published, back when he was going to University of Michigan. Since then he's been to Ambercons and conventions with Amber Diceless all over the place, both as player and expert Game Master. A few years back he even did an Amber Diceless romp thought Europe, running games in England, France, Germany and The Netherlands.
The two of them are some of my very favorite role-players, and they've experienced most of the experimental role-playing that I've done in the last 15 years, including the really far-out stuff like Camp Messiah and Black Math. Each is capable of creating an entirely new (fun!) role-playing system+universe at the drop of a hat.
Frankly I was stunned that two such high-powered guys, both of whom have major full-time careers, approached me about publishing Amber. To put it mildly, they're not in it for the money. They're doing it purely out of love of Zelazny's Amber, Amber Diceless, and the Amber Diceless community.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with what they have in mind.
