taig's Twelve Days of Third Partymas, Year Two

[Broken Zenith]

And, because Zenith Games is on a roll, a winner who picks Zenith Games' Jacob's Tower will also get the newly published Occult Secrets: The Occultist (in addition to the other $30 worth of free stuff)!

[taig]

A mega-adventure and access to the excellent We Be Dragons alone are excellent deals. :)

[Freehold DM]

I got a natural 1 and an 18!
I don't know what that means but I am happy!!

[captain yesterday]

You get to jump in the hopper, here take a complimentary barf bag, and enjoy this fresh, delicious popcorn.

Supposedly, eventually something happens to us.

(Still haven't gotten word on safety inspections)

[bitter lily]

Yeeeha! I won, I won, I won something real cool, I'm sure of it. I got a lucky 13!

< scurries off to familiarize herself with some product lines >

I want to thank the people at Forest Press: getting six interesting books is a wonderful partymas present! I'm looking forward to reading them.

And Micah, I wish you well on pubbing more books in your "Pyromaniac Press Encounters Series;" am I correct in believing that "Lair of the Lava Queen" is the only one you've done so far? Of course, you've got the full "What Lies Beyond Reason" AP -- and I have to say, being as I'm a glutton for city maps & gazettes, the Campaign Guide for the AP looks like a solid choice to consider. So I'm sincerely grateful for your generosity: whether I go for a lava cave scenario or the city, I'll be a happy girl this partymas. I just want to know if I'm looking at all the options!

There was an inspection? ...I think I just found out who I critted...

Body bag! I need a body bag!

[Wraithguard]

Alright, back to the boards after the weekend. Waiting on Baron, Necromental has told me what he wants (send that out in a minute) and need to send a PM to Anthony Adam.

Should be caught up in a bit.

EDIT: Alright, Necromental should have his PDF now... 2nd one of those to give out.

Waiting on Baron whom should be back with his choice soon.

Anthony Adam has been PMed.

Entrants into Legendary Games' 1derful drawing: Lord Mhoram, Trekkie90909: , Lazaro, and The NPC

This brings us to precisely 20 members of The Last Shall Be First Club, so since this is a d20-friendly kind of affair a random d20 has been rolled and come up... Elorebaen gets a free product.

The random dice of randomness say... The Fiddler's Lament (5E)!

Shoot me an email and it shall be yours (or if you've already got it/don't play 5E let me know and we'll reroll)!

[captain yesterday]

Yay!

[Tacticslion]

Woot-woot~! HYPE TRAIN ROLLIN'~!

Missed a day! It's like Church, family, and repeatedly falling on my backside/face/knees at my eldest's friend's birthday party took all my time, or something!

[Ragadolf]

Woot! a 1 ! :)
Hey, I won a chance to win stuff! That's better than I usually do! :)

Gratz Partymas winners! (So far,...) ;)

Woot woot! (Hyp-a CHugga hype-a chugga hype-a chugga,...) :)

[captain yesterday]

I think tonight we'll have barbecue.

Throws a suckling pig and vat of barbecue sauce into the hopper.

I picked that one, and I'll say it's 130+ pages of goodness.

Lair of the Lava Queen is the first, and currently only, product in the Encounters series, though the second one - The Tidus Tomb - is just waiting on cartography alterations and should be released soon. The plan (time and commitments permitting) is to release these at about 1/month going forward.

The rest of the products are sequential adventures and a campaign guide for an ongoing adventure path - the current catalogue makes up about 50% of the full AP. The remaining 50% should be rolled out next year (most likely via KS to pay for the art).
That being said, they are all usable as standalone adventures or as a setting with just a little work - of course the deeper into the AP you go the more it references past material. If you take an adventure they will not be 'useless' without the previous installments.

Hope this helps you make a decision.

Thanks! Like all 3rd party publishers a huge amount of work and care went into these, so I love to hear any feedback - good or bad - that lets me know how I'm going.

On the campaign guide, in addition to my work, there is a full length adventure written by Richard Develyn (4 Dollar Dungeons)and some pretty cool monsters from Russ Brown (Rusted Iron Games). These guys have been great supporters of me, and it you aren't familiar with their work you should check it out - it's outstanding.

[Forest Guardian Press]

So, the following fine users and aliases have been given to the inevitable Rick Kunz for prize-gifting of the entire FGP product line*.

* The Archive
* Readerbreeder
* Solnes
* bitter lily

Hope you enjoy!

* it sounds much bigger than six PDFs that way...

[TriOmegaZero]

I'd like to thank my Secret Santa for getting my latest subscription shipment into First Ten discount level. I shall think of you as I read Worldscape #3.

[TriOmegaZero]

Have you checked out the new subscription options? I have my comics set to ship as soon as they arrive.

Oh yes, that sounds very nice.

Now do I really want to win or really want to lose? Either way, I'm having fun.

[Oddman80]

That was the craziest Roll-Off i have ever seen. I feel bad for Trekkie9090... i am almost inspired to make my own 3rd party product, just to give to [insert gender-less personal pronoun here].

Them. The word you're looking for is 'them'.

Also man, I'm really racking up these nat 1s, I should be glad I'm not in a game with these rolls.

Alright, all caught up except for Baron Arem Heshvaun. Responded to the PM a bit ago but so far no word. *Tries to poke Baron through the computer screen* Nope, didn't work. Back to waiting.

Given out some fun stuff so far, including a few things I do not have listed. :)
