As a quarantine project last year, I scoured PD pulp sources, culled a bunch of images, cleaned them up and populated them into a set of four 6"x9" books, each featuring 45 new monsters (based on these classic images). Book three also includes some animal-related spells, and book four includes some new B/X psionics disciplines. They are statted up for B/X (so that's makes them compatible with all those similar editions and retro-clones). And easy enough to adapt for white boxers and first editions.
I just finished writing book #4. The first three have already had a first edit (and a pre-release at the most recent NTRPGCon), and we'll do another proof on those over the next couple of weeks as we edit the final book. We'll order test copies of the box, and look to make these available (as a boxed set) by August.
Once released, PDFs will be available as a bundle through DriveThruRPG.at a super great price ($1 for all four). Individual books will be available POD through Lulu.com, and the boxed set will be available directly through the NBD storefront (looking like the boxed set will sell for $30 + shipping).
Can't wait to see this! Subscribed at drivethru for that release in case rss and the blogosphere does not draw my attention enough.
ReplyDeleteI'll grab that box set just as soon as it becomes available. One can never have too many bestiaries.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to cost me a bomb in shipping and import taxes, but I don't care, it's a pleasure to support your work, glad to see you back producing again.
ReplyDeleteI will do my best to make the boxed set available outside the US. But st worst case the books (without box) should be available as POD through Lulu.com.
DeleteLooks awesome! It's great to see the old pulp artists getting the exposure and credit they didn't get back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI dig your illustrations too; I hope some of those made it in there.
This is purely pulp (none of mine). Though the full sized Creature Compendium 2 (which is all me) is “in development.”
DeleteLooking forward to this!
