Ok so the cover I’ve been showing for Crypts & Things has merely been a placeholder.
Here’s the real deal, drawn by the very talented Jon Hodgson
Bonus points if you can nail who the inspiration behind the axe wielding barbarian is (and no its not a certain Mr Conan π ).
It certainly is a thing of beauty. Well done Newt and Jon.
Sweet! I am ready to see the inside as well. π
Soon John, soon π Finishing Layout this weekend π
SlΓ‘ine maybe?
Half-right π
I would say it looks like Kull fighting some degenerate serpent men.
By that axe he RULES!
and that’s the other half.
This Dark Horse Collection cover was a big influence
I like that, a change to the dark colour palette of most OSR rulebooks.
What size is the book ?
US Letter i.e. 8 x 11.
I went all proportional representation on the poll I had about the size.
Sorry anyone who voted manbag US Trade paperback, but THIS IS D&D not Indie π
Can’t wait for this to be released… looks great!
Looks stunning – like everyone else I’m very excited to get this in my hands (and then unleash it on my players!)
Any idea what your pricing is going to be yet? I really want to get this when it’s ready, either in print or pdf, possibly both
I have vague ideas of pricing, but until the book is finalised I’m not going to say.
hehe, fair enough. I look forward to finding out.
WOW! You are pulling out all the stops, Newt! This project just keeps getting better and better.
Going all the way to 11 π
Really cool! Very much looking forward to this!
Will it be available in hardback ?
Yes.
Awesome!!
Very cool. Really looking forward to getting my mitts on this.
Awesome cover! Congratulations!
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Terrific timing — I’m prepping an old school flavored, swords & sorcery style game, and the task of hacking 4E to suit my needs was looking insurmountable. This looks like just the thing. I know everyone is asking, but WHEN!?! And will it be immediately available in PDF, or only in print?
Thanks!!!
Awesomeness! When? I must have this!
So, there’s only a week or so left of September. Are we actually going to see the book this month?
Excellent cover!
(And, by eldritch coincidence, I just recently read that ‘Kull’ collection!)
