Black Pudding Zine Print Edition

You may already have seen James V West's stunning new zine Black Pudding. If not head over to RPGNow.com and grab the PWYW PDF. It is quite simply the best zine ever.

A few of days ago I tentatively asked James about his plans for a printed edition, and mentioned that I'd be interested in getting involved. I'm delighted to report that he's agreed to let me print and distribute Black Pudding. The A5 printed edition will be litho-printed on paper of the same weight and finish as The Black Hack and Oubliette Issue 9. I'm expecting them to be delivered just before Christmas. Cover price will be £3.00 and they'll be a wholesale option for orders of 10+ copies. At launch there will be shipping options for the UK/EU/Rest of the World.

The Lands of Ara Compendium 2011 (FREE PDF)

Last weekend saw the launch of The Lands of Ara Compendium 2011 which may be downloded as a free PDF here.  It's got 40 pages of classes, monsters, spells, and stuff for the taking.  Carter Soles and Spawn of Endra have done a great job editing material from over two years of blog posts. 

The PDF is US letter sized, but as I have a duplex printer, I opted to print it as an A5 booklet which produced a very nice, and still easy to read, zine-like publication.  The Compendium also includes lots of great art by Jonathan & Daisey Bingham, Kelvin Green, and our very own The Marg.
