The good news, though, is that this book will be available for Print On Demand through DriveThru in the next couple of weeks! Yay!

And I will be ordering a copy!

I've downloaded my copy, and I've "thumbed" through it, but haven't had a chance to really dig into it. I must say that it is a beautiful looking PDF, that's for sure. Love the artwork. I can't wait to actually read over it.

Hello,

I have a few minor suggestions.

Glad you like the product! Your suggestions may end up in a future update of this product, too.

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Dark Mistress for listing this title as #4 on her Top 10 of 2011 in the latest issue of Pathways!

We received a copy for Christmas, and it is quite simply one of the best RPGs I've ever read. It's also a beautiful looking set. I'm planning on starting a campaign in March, and I can't wait.

We may do that, though we hadn't really considered it. We may also include creatures for Summon Minor Monster from Ultimate Magic.

Okey doke, here's my update on the table 2-2 issue:

I am also getting the error 40 message.

On my macbook running Adobe Acrobat 9, the table was gone except sometimes if I clicked on the down arrow to scroll onto the page (instead of using a 2 finger swipe to scroll down) then I would get to see the top few rows of the chart. If I then used the hand tool to grab the page and pull it down, I could also see the bottom 3 rows. The middle was blank. Weird.

I updated Acrobat on the computer and had the same problem, though I didn't check for the top and bottom of the chart thing.

BUT, I noticed that I am NOT having the problem on my work computer which runs Adobe 9 (not sure what update, but they generally keep it up to date). Go figure. Anyway, I'm going to purchase a hard copy anyway since we are using material from this book in game, so it won't be an issue for me anymore.

That's just so strange. I'm not sure what the exact problem is then, nor how to fix it so it doesn't do that.

Glad to hear you like it well enough that you'll be purchasing the print edition! That's what we were hoping for!

The group had to break out Luven's Guide last night for a prosthetic arm after the ruler in their Kingmaker campaign lost his left arm to a slicer beetle from Tome of Horrors. Thought it was nice little bit of 3PP synergy :).

Excellent!

Reviewed here, on DTRPg and sent to GMS magazine. Cheers!

Thanks for the review, End!

Are you going to put out more monster knowledge PDF's for the Bestiary 1&2??

I really really like the 1rst one as does the rest of the people I show it too!!!
Is there a possibility there will be more like that? That and the summon monster supplements.. I would love more!! Thanks!

We are working on Monster Knowledge Cards for Bestiary's 2 & 3, plus our own Tome of Monsters right now. :)

Any chance on getting some kind of time frame for the monster knowledge cards? :)

I would love to see the Tome of Monsters too! :)

I don't have a specific time frame other than "soon". :)

Copy & paste now works as expected. Many thanks.

Page 33 in Reader X 10.0.1 and Acrobat 9.0.0 both throw the error 40 for me. I can highlight the text of the table and while it's inverted it displays fine.

At least this experiment has shown me I should probably download a few hundred megs worth of Adobe updates for both my reader and full product. Huh.

Good on the copy/paste.

It's probably a matter of what version the PDF is made compatible with, and what version it's being run on. Our printer requires a specific default, and I usually keep most settings for everything on that setting, and it may throw off other things like this from time to time. Does it print just fine if you wanted to print that page?

Got this from my FLGS recently...and I really like it. Who would've thought that with one item, the Chireugon's Kit, that low-no magic campaigns are now possible.

Excellent! Glad you like it!

Hunter, a friend and I both noticed that on page 33 of the PDF there is a table (table 2-2) missing. Instead there is a big blank section. Just FYI. We are introducing a Tattooed Wizard to our campaign!

That's odd, My PDF has the chart. Opened with two different PDF readers and had no problems..

The table is there on our end as well, opened on two different computers. Anyone else having this issue?

I actually hate making lists like these cause I like the vast majority of the 3pp stuff out there and there is some good products not on this list.

Well, thanks for including 2 of our books on the list!

Looks like it's regular price again.

Yes, the special give-away ended on Friday 13th. :)

Well, as an inked-up individual.... 0_0 This rocks! Well done indeed! Nice summation of the skills, feats, wondrous tattoos, equipment, class and organizations. Thanks indeed for offering this for free! Will definitely be checking out 4WG stuff in future....

My wife and I both have ink (Need... More...), so when this was presented to us we jumped at the chance to publish it. Glad you liked it! Hope you like our other stuff as well!

We (4 Winds Fantasy Gaming) have the Tome of Monsters as well as Phantasia Zoologica Volume I: Cats, Dogs & Horses, both available in print or PDF.

I downloaded the PDF from RPGNow (thanks), and I have a few questions.

I noticed reference to Wondrous Tattoos being able to be put in the Shield slot, but none that specifically go in the Shield slot, unlike Armored Ink for the Armor slot. Should Armored Ink have been allowed in the armor or shield slot, or are there no shield specific magical tattoos?

Second, if there are Shield specific tattoos, do they restrict you as wielding a shield would, i.e. not wielding a weapon in your shield hand, or wielding a two-handed weapon?

Finally, I couldn't find any information on any increases to cost and/or DC for creating enhanced tattoos, did I just miss it somewhere?

In the end, we included no tattoos that specifically take up a Shield slot. Armored Ink should be restricted to the Armor slot, but a Shield Ink could easily be duplicated from it to take up a Shield slot. The reason we chose not to include it was because of the redundancy - no different except for the slot.

There are several tattoos that can be inked into "any" slot, so if a character gets one of these tattoos - say, Track of the Cat - and chooses to include it in the shield slot, that character would be prevented from gaining the benefits of a magical shield (though the mundane benefits of the shield would still apply).

Thus, the character would still be able to duel wield weapons, or use two handed weapons - even if those weapons are magical, so long as neither provides any sort of magical shield bonus.

The reason we allowed some tattoos to be placed in any slot, by the way, is so that characters that do not often or never use shields - such as wizards or rogues - could use the magic item slot to their benefit with magical tattoos.

As a GM, however, you may want to houserule that only tattoos that provide a shield bonus or effect would be allowed in the Shield slot.

As for the extra cost on enhanced tattoos, we didn't spell it out as well as we could have, and I apologize for that. Essentially, the extra cost is only 20 or 23gp - the extra cost of the Enhanced Ink necessary for Enhanced Tattoos above the cost of the Basic Palette (2gp) or Advance Palette (5 gp).

Definitely 4 Winds Publishing's 'Book of Arcane Magic.' I had seen it on my FLGS's shelves, but sort of put it on the back burner. Anyway, I ended up spending my last birthday in the hospital. When my wife went to my favorite FLGS (Ronin Games in Castro Valley, CA) to pick out my gifts (Game Mastery Guide and Advanced Combat), Ed added the Book of Arcane Magic as a gift from himself. Anyway, long story short, loved the book. Great spells, great familiar options (especially the clockwork familiar), and the magical college feats are a great launch pad for campaign-specific feats. Even the fluff narration is engaging, which is a rare find.. As soon as I got out of the hospital, I picked up the Book of Divine Magic and made them both entirely legal in my homebrew campaign.

P.S. Seriously, Ed's a great guy. If you're in the Bay Area, he runs a great store which is well worth the trip.

We're very happy you enjoyed it! Thanks! And thank Ed for us as well!

Excellent, Thank you. Will peruse and try and get a review up soon.

Thank you! We look forward to your review!

Review up here on Paizo and RPGNow. Thank You again for the PDF, very much enjoyed the material.

And we thank you for that review! We're glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the rapid turnaround on this issue. Impressive, to say the least. I'll re-download tonight after work and let you know how it goes.

You bet! I did test it by copy/pasting myself, but the true test comes from other folks.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Now that it looks like I will be taking up the GM reins for Jade Regent, I've started to read through my copy of Inkantations again. This product practically begs to be used with that Adventure Path, in my own humble opinion anyway.... ;)

Your Friendly Neighborhood Dalesman
"Bringing Big D**n Justice to the Bad Guys Since 1369 DR"

Wow! Thank you! That's awesome!

Was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of this when you were passing out free PDF's of it. Finally had a chance to read it, and put together a review. Very well thought out material and game mechanics for handling the subject of body modification. I would say the subject of tattooing, but your product covers more than just ink, and I was happy to see that.

Am wondering if their might be a followup, perhaps a smaller collection of mystical brands, or hexed scars released as a companion piece to the spell tattoos presented within this product?

Thanks so much! We're very glad that you enjoyed the book, and thanks very much for the great review!

We may do a follow-up sometime down the road, after we get caught up on a few other projects.

Thanks for the test. And yes, supposedly it's something something font encoding something something embedding something. I'm technical by trade but I'm not familiar enough with the structure of the PDF format to have any clue how 4W can correct this.

For now, I've finished reading the material and am trying to hack together a CR16 bad guy gladiator type, as a test for some of the materials in this book. Looking cool so far.

It SHOULD be fixed now (but I thought I'd fixed that problem before, too...) Download it again (provided you got it from DriveThru or here at Paizo) and let me know. It might be tomorrow before Paizo has the corrected version available, though.

Hunter 1828, I just want to echo everyone else here. Thank you. The PDF itself is very nice, with well thought abilities that aren't overpowering and yet are interesting and different enough to make players want to take them. Thank you once again.

Master Arminas

Thank you! Glad you like it!

So... can anyone do a quick check for me?

Long story short, please try doing a copy & paste from any of the main pages to notepad or Word. I've found in both Reader 10 and Acrobat 9 Pro that the vast majority of the text doesn't work. Multitudinous square boxes. The fancy fonts on the title pages etc work just fine.

Regardless of which end of the table I sit on, I use a standard monster stat-block for my PCs and NPCs, so I copy & paste abilities, unusual feats, and magic items onto the that sheet for rapid reference.

Thanks in advance.

Crap. I thought we'd fixed that. Ok, we'll try again.

Also, just got this... only skimmed it so far, but looks very neat.

Good deal, hope you enjoy it!

I picked it up. Haven't had a lot of time to look at it, but I will. Ty all much.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it!

My all time favorite is Luven Lightfinger's Gear & Treasure Shop by 4WFG. Mostly i like adding extra mundane gear and such to my games and it is the 3pp book I use the most.

Due to this post, I ordered the book from my FLGS.

Thank you both very much!

How much longer is this limited offer lasting? May want to give a couple of my friends a heads up who doesn't frequent here as much.

Tomorrow (Friday the 13th!) is the last day you can grab it for free!

:thumbsup:

This product has been on my wishlist for quite a while - now it is downloading. Thanks!

You bet! We hope you enjoy it!

Nice!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for doing this! I will be posting a review on my blog as soon as I get a free moment!

You bet! We look forward to your review!

Thanks!

You bet!

Thanks a lot!

You're welcome!

Interesting idea! Thanks for the promo!

You bet! Hope you enjoy it!

Excellent, Thank you. Will peruse and try and get a review up soon.

Thank you! We look forward to your review!

Thanks!! One of my players is possibly interested in tattoo magic. I'll point him toward this as well. I have been looking for ways to include 3PP in my game. This could be part of the gateway for my players!

If I like what I'm reading, I'll start looking at your products more. This strategy HAS worked on my for other 3PP.

You bet, and we hope you enjoy it and come back for more!

Thank you very much for this. This is my first from your company and when I wade through it hopefully I'll add you guys to my buy-whatever-they-produce list.

We hope so, too!

Now available!

As a GM, I would flat out refuse to let a player do another player's character sheet - creation or leveling up. Do it yourself or don't play in my game, is my attitude. I'm certainly willing and happy to help my players, but I expect each and every one of them to keep track of their own character. It's next to impossible to really know the rules without building and leveling your own character on your own sheet.

Just my 2 coppers.

Are you going to put out more monster knowledge PDF's for the Bestiary 1&2??

I really really like the 1rst one as does the rest of the people I show it too!!!

Very kind of you - thanks!

Awesome, I have been wanting to get this book but just haven't gotten around to actually doing it. Now I don't have an excuse, so that means.... DOWNLOADING. YAY

We hope you enjoy it!

You know what else you should offer for 2012?

MOAR CHEESECAKE! :D

There will probably be some in Fey Ways when it comes out. :D

Sweet. It's a fascinating read, and inspiring material!

Thanks! Glad you think so!

Thanks! Downloaded and perusing.

You bet! We hope you enjoy it!

Pun aside, I'm glad you think so. That was I believe the work of 4WFG's Rob Thomson, and was designed for use by an antagonistic race that dwelt on frozen plains and in ice caves, where other materials would be extremely difficult to come by. It would also be natural for use on the planes, in the cold reaches where the air and water planes intersect.

That was mine, but I think you actually suggested it. Or maybe Kat suggested it. I can't remember now.
