Well, SG2 has been on the market since about ’96 (give or take a year or two) and it mentions BDS as forthcoming.

 

Fleet Book playtesting by listers starts around GZG ECC 2 (’99), and FMA playtesting and FB2 playtesting with GZG ECC 3 (’00), IIRC.  But FB2 is something like 5-6 years old.

 

About 3 years ago I’d come to the unpopular conclusion that Jon needed to let other people write FT3, DS3, SG3, FMA and BDS, then edit (or revise to the point of co-authoring) so that they could be published before 2010.  Instead, they remain irons in the fire along with fantasy variants and versions covering actions falling between SG2 and DS2 in size.

I've said this before, but it can be repeated;

Stop tweaking the rules to death and publish them.  I have talked to people
that have told me they don't play GZG because it is dead as a publisher of
games.  How many years has it been since GZG published anything new?

FMA and BDS were being discussed over 5 years ago when I discovered
GZG.  IIRC it may well have been 7 years.

Yes... if you're on the playtest list. *S*
