Valyrian Steel has updates on its first two swords. Longclaw is now available for pre-order. It will cost $240, plus $20 for shipping to the U.S. (shipping costs abroad run between $70-$90). Longclaw is expected to ship in the 4th quarter of this year. While not yet available for pre-order, images and details about Needle have also been posted. Needle might ship as early as Q1 2009. Only 2500 copies of either sword will be made, each signed by George R. R. Martin and branded by the edition number.

Green Ronin has posted the Quick-Start rules for their upcoming Ice and Fire RPG on their website. The release date of the game has been pushed back to October to accommodate George R. R. Martin's continuing work on A Dance with Dragons.

Registration for the next season of The Game of Thrones RPG begins today. The game has reverted back to season one's rules, so be sure to check out the rules before starting your empire.

Lastly, Roose Bolton has organized an RPG session of his own, based on the original AGOTd20 rules. You'll need a copy of the RPG book, a headset, and compatible software. See the post and contact Roose for more details.

Publisher's Weekly (via Westeros.org) reports that Bantam remains highly confident about the success of A Dance with Dragons, despite the delay in its release. The publishing company has ordered an initial print of 350,000 copies, which surpasses the count for A Feast for Crows--and that book sold to the tune of a #1 bestseller. PW also lists a release date, but it is extremely optimistic and highly unlikely. George R. R. Martin, now in Europe, has yet to finish ADWD, so we should anticipate a late 2008 release at the earliest.
