Iron Kingdoms RPG source books now available in PDF
When I first read about this, I thought “Hell, it’s about time!”. The Iron Kingdoms campaign setting is still one of my favorite setting, and it was a shame that most books haven’t been available for quite some time. Since I own all IK RPG books but the Monsternomicon II, I haven’t bought any of the PDFs yet, but I am pretty sure they just removed all references to the d20 System License and released it fully under the OGL.
The books are available from RPGNow and Paizo and are still a bit too expensive for my taste, but at least they are available after all.
I still would like to see a new IK RPG line probably using the Pathfinder RPG, Fantasy Craft or Savage Worlds rules, but it seems Privateer Press is recently focusing on their miniature games, which is really a shame in my opinion. Hmm, I think I should stop moaning and be happy that the IK RPG books are finally available again. Thanks, Privateer Press!

It's good to see more content like this released as PDF… but damn, that price is ridiculous.

I noticed the Monsternomicon yesterday while I was browsing for Egyptian Cardstock terrain (which I failed to find) and yeah, the prices are ridiculous.
I am glad that they were released though, hopefully this movement means they're gearing up for a new edition. I did hear rumors at GenCon that they plan on make a new IK RPG, but it will be a custom rules set, most likely based off the Warmachine/Hordes wargame rules (which just got a big update to Mk II).
So Warmachine + experience? If it's true wouldn't it be awesome if they went levelless?
Also, considering that a Warmachine Video Game was announced at GenCon, they could plan on releasing the RPG to coincide with the game release…. interesting stuff to ponder.

You beat me to the punch – I was about to (& probably still will) post a comment about their availability. I love the IK setting (even if I think D20 is a very poor fit). Unfortunately the prices they're asking for the pdfs is ridiculous IMO.
