Yoon-Suin 2nd edition print release PRE-ORDER

First there was Yoon-Suin, and it was good

The Gods of the God River saw it, and saw it was good


The Yali of the forest danced when they saw it

The nasnas of Syr Darya saw it, and saw it was good


The dragons of the high mountains saw it and wondered

The oligarchs of the mountains saw it, and saw it was good


In the kingdoms the rakhosh saw it and knew they should not touch it

The mighty chu-srin saw it, and saw it was good 


Then another Yoon-Suin came, and it was good

The readers of noisms' blog saw the pre-order store, and saw it was good


It has been a long time coming, but the print edition of Yoon-Suin 2nd edition is shortly to head off for printing and distribution. You can pre-order it here if you missed out on the Kickstarter.

Here is the marketing blurb from the store itself, if you are not sure what Yoon-Suin is:

What people have said about Yoon-Suin:
"Yoon-Suin remains for me the original OSR setting and a huge inspiration." - Tom F
"It’s not like anything anybody else could have made or will make...On reading it I really wanted to go to Sughd and find out what the hell those Nasnas are up to, or take over an abandoned fortress by a river in Lahag, or hang out with boat people and get strange tattoos. And that’s exactly how it is meant to make you feel. I think people will be very impressed, I certainly hope they will be." - Patrick Stuart
"This is probably one of the most impressive gaming supplements (let alone campaign settings) that I’ve ever come across...I can’t recommend this enough: this is a must-have for any DM or game designer. It is a fantastic work." - Necrozius
"My mind is blown. This artifact...is a labour of wonder. It is as stepping into a very idosyncratic storybook, with step by step instructions on how to have a magical adventure within. It is 300 pages of love, allowing endless adventure." - Hack Slash Master
PLEASE NOTE: This is a HEAVY book, so shipping is on the expensive side. Reassure yourself that it contains 400 pages of densely usable content, commensurate with its heftiness!

  1. User51 saw it and was pleased. The cryptic masters of magnetic strips fed on the digital dust and reported that the user had given tribute. Their name was thus inscribed in the Book of Locations, which the Ship Lords use to ferry thick tomes between lands. The Gnomes of Backerkit, with hoary bearded murmuring and scritching pens recorded it in their vast logs of transactions. User51 settled to wait and pondered the origin of weight and gravity, and whether the rakhosh were not right after all to fear the second edition?
