Dose anyone know if there will be futher books in the Lords of Olympus line?
like a Companion with more odds and ends, or Realms books?
I have not heard of anything in the pipeline, but our own Pundit is the author of LoO so I'm sure he'll chimie in with something official.
My guess is that he has a stack of ideas and is trying to decide about the level of demand and/or the time he has to write them up. I'll bet that supplement books take as much time to write as core books, but that core books sell a lot better.
For what it's worth, I'd love it.
There's two things: first, the game as it stands is very complete. So while additional books could certainly be cool, they're not "vital".
Second, I tend to get caught up in the next thing I want to write: so after LoO, Arrows of Indra took up my time, and after that Dark Albion.
I'm not going to say never, but at the moment it looks pretty unlikely as to me getting around to doing new LoO products anytime soon.
The thing is, I'm not a believer in tons of sourcebooks just for their own sake.
Fair enough, Though IF their is a "Companion" perhaps some more solid Artifact rules and a more graded Allies and Contacts ranging from "I kind of know this Dude" to "Zeus is my Homeboy".

Pundit, I've returned from my long absence from your site for the sole purpose of expressing my disappointment.
Don't get me wrong, I understand. Do what you want to do, and write what to want to write. I'll also agree with you that LoO is complete; not much more is needed for the setting. Anything more can be handled by a good GM willing to do some research and make some house rules.
That being said, I'm greedy, and I was hoping for more. Perhaps a companion book with guidelines for incorporating other mythologies. The possibilities for expansion are pretty broad, and I suck at doing my own stuff.
But alas, you've confirmed what I long suspected: No LoO supplements.
It's cool though. LoO is excellent, and I'm grateful to have it. :)
That's all I wanted to say. See everybody in another six to nine months.

I appreciate this, and get you wanting more. I wonder how Erick must have felt after years of having people asking about the same for Amber.
Anyways, I'm not saying "never". I plan to run LoO again sometime near the end of this year or early next year, and nothing inspires me to write RPG stuff more than running RPG stuff. So there's always a chance something will come out of that.

Both good suggestions.
