There are substantial factors outside of our control in this, so I'm not going to provide anything definitive. My best guess is that we'll begin submitting material for review and comment by White Wolf at some point in May. However, we expect White Wolf to take a close interest in how the data files look and behave for World of Darkness. The review process may be fast or slow. They may love what we put together for initial review, or they may hate it. If they hate it, it will likely be months before we get stuff put together that they love. If they love it, we save a huge chunk of time off the process. Once White Wolf likes a preliminary set of data files, we then start the iterative refinement process. That could be quick, or it could take many iterations. It really depends on how closely our vision matches White Wolf's vision in the initial files we submit for review. We'll be meeting with White Wolf in person at a show later this month to do our best to get on the same page prior to that initial review.
I'm hopeful that we'll have the Vampire data files out this summer, but the actual release could be as early as June or as late as October, depending largely on the review process and the changes we need to make.
