Hi all, my name is Aeryn Rudel, and I am the owner of Blackdirge Publishing. Recently, I’ve started selling Blackdirge Publishing products at the Paizo download store, so I thought I would drop in here and talk a bit about my various product lines.
Here’s a brief description (and a link to the Paizo store) of the five major lines we publish at the moment. New products are released for most of these lines at least once a month, and we typically release three to five new products monthly.
Dozens of reviews for my products can be found at EN World and the two OBS sites (RPGNOW and DriveThruRPG).
Animal Archives: This product line features bestiaries detailing prehistoric animals and dinosaurs. Each book describes between 5 and 10 new animals, with complete stats, information on how each animal can be used by PCs (animal companions, mounts, familiars, etc.), and intriguing information on the real-world animal.
Blackdyrge’s Bestiary: These monster books detail unique and powerful monsters as chronicled by the mysterious sage of monsters: Blackdyrge. Each book contains 5 monsters, with an introduction by Blackdyrge and a complete and informative write-up. Other goodies found in these books include new magic items, prestige classes, diseases, spells, and much more.
Blackdyrge’s Templates: In these short PDFs, the sage of monsters details one new monster template. Each template is introduced by Blackdyrge himself, and includes two example monsters with complete and compelling write-ups.
Master at Arms: These short PDFs feature 5-level prestige classes for fighters based on individual weapons. Each prestige class features a number of new and innovative ways to use the highlighted weapon, and comes complete with an iconic NPC. In addition, the series often includes new weapons and new weapon special abilities.
None so Vile: This product line is for mature audiences only, and features terrifying new prestige classes for evil characters and NPCs. Some of the subjects explored in recent releases are cannibalism, torture, blasphemy, and the destruction of the immortal soul.
If you have any further questions about my products, just post them here, or shoot me an email at: blackdirge@gmail.com.
Thanks

Welcome to Paizo! I'll be sure to check something out.
Cool. I have a short freebie product available (link below) that kind of introduces the whole "Blackdyrge" thing. It's probably a good place to start.

Blackdirge, any chance your novels will appear here? I am so waiting for the second installment to appear at ENworld :-)
Well, those are published by EN Publishing, so I don't have any control over where they are sold. Currently, EN Publishing doesn't sell through Paizo, and I have no idea if Russ has plans to do so in the future.
More than likley you will have to purchase the novels through OBS (RPGNOW and DriveThruRPG).

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I believe DF is right, so, yeah, you would have to buy the novels through OBS.

Hi Blackdirge, just want to complement you on the quality of your free-be, "About the Author." Blackdyrge reminds me some of my changeling dread necromancer. :-)

Thanks!
Blackdyrge narrates all of the products bearing his name. He's a fun character to write - evil bastards always are. =]
