The Peridot, Issue #1 - Spring 2016: Launched!



I have made a 'zine. It is called The Peridot. Issue #1 is out NOW. Click this link to BUY IT  in PDF.

Contents of Issue #1 (80 pages total) include:

  • A complete new Ancient Mesopotamian starter campaign setting with 30+ keyed hexes, new monsters and NPCs. Battle bulrush demons and scorpion-men, explore a thronged wilderness, forge your destiny in a world still young...
  • A grab-bag of interesting new monsters, NPCs, and magic items, including Heron Men, the Old Comrades, and the Weeping Woodwose
  • A collection of scenarios to "plug in and play" to your campaign, including the Bone Miller, the Ichthyosaur's Pool, and Pan Chun Mei and Her Wraith Ravens
  • New art and fiction
  • Purple prose

The print version will be announced shortly - I expect within a week's time. In the mean time.... BUY IT.

  1. I was linked directly to the PayHip page from G+, and it doesn't say explicitly that it is a PDF. It says at the very bottom "you will get a PDF (5MB) file". I almost got all the way through checkout before I noticed there was no shipping cost from the UK. I think it's a bit confusing, and it would be clearer if at the top it said "Peridot #1 (PDF)". My assumption up until visiting this page was that it was a print copy that would come with a PDF as well.

    As for ordering it, I'm interested in the physical release, so I think I'll wait a couple days for that, unless you're planning on deducting the PDF cost from the cost of the physical when it comes out- although I expect it'll be less of a headache for everyone if I just wait for the physical announcement.

    In any case, it looks very cool!

    1. Just waiting for the test run to arrive from lulu. Barring force majeure it should all be good to go in a week.
