Stuff In Print and Other News

Just a quick one, I've finally got test prints back for The Stygian Library and The Dolorous Stroke back that don't have those weird transparency issues, which is nice!
(The solution turned out to be taking a really high-res screenshot of each page, and making a new pdf where each page is just that screenshot as a .png. It's not the most elegant method but it works; there's a slight affect on the crispness of the text but it's basically fine).
So now you can buy them! Here is The Stygian Library and here's The Dolorous Stroke.

There are probably typos, but fuck it they're done now.

Wolfpacks Deluxe will get sorted out and - hopefully - likewise be up for sale soon as well. It's a big chunky 300-page hardback, but I have hope. Likewise Esoteric Enterprises. 

I've revived my 'ship sailing into the west' module idea, and been hashing stuff out for it. That's probably my next project to come out. That or finally finishing the ref stuff for Esoteric Enterprises, but that's gonna be a long slog before it's done.



(There's also still a fundraiser going Mandy's stuff. Any help you can throw at her means a lot.)

  1. Really exited for this next project. I find that the whole "bittersweet" mood isn't really explored much in TTRPG products.
    Besides Narnia (which you mentioned in that sailing to the west posts), what other media would you recommend that captures that mood?

    1. A lot of Tolkein - particularly in things like the Silmarillion - is good here. There's also some good anime stuff for it, something like The Cat Returns is pretty much my jam.

  2. Funny, I was just thinking about Stygian Library this morning and went to DTRPG to find the print version was up - instabuy =)

    Emmy, I'd like to talk to you about a small publishing project. Would you drop me an email at (my first name) at (my last name) dot com please? If you see my gmail address display, that works fine too. Thanks!

    1. a deluxe ynn is slowwwwly in the works but it's distant and I can make no promises or predictions: I just wrote the thing and other people are handling the rest. No plans at all for the library, yet.
      I'd just get the current versions if I were you, tbh.

  4. Just found your blog, and this post. It has been a long time since I have actually squealed in delight while reading something in the internet, it actually startled my wife. lol

    I am very excited about the new edition of Wolf-packs and Winter Snows. Hell yeah!
