Thanks, I had no idea about that one; I never look at CM. There seems to be some sincere interest, outside of some of the standard quips, too.
In answer to one of the questions there, I dedicate a not insignificant portion of the setting chapter (as well as bits and bobs pretty much everywhere else) to talking about life in the Bharata kingdoms, and questions of culture, caste, clan and even sexuality or gender roles; as well as talking about what the heroic virtues are, and how to treat things like religion, laws, property, taxation, etc. So I have to say that I've certainly given it the old college try in terms of trying to capture the "feel" of Mythic ancient India.

Have you read the later Black Company books? The author uses a lot of Indian influences in his story line. If be interested to know if those books influenced you?

I just checked out the pre-order physical book pricing, 100% the most ridiculous cost in the history of shipping RPG books to me!

Priority Mail® International   $86.05
Express Mail® International   $113.05
Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG)   $153.55

Is the book like 60lb!?!??!?!

Thank fuck for Lulu, which ships from Oz.

No. I haven't read any Black Company at all.

Ordering directly from the Studio 2 site can be expensive for overseas shipment. What I try to do is find local sellers amd sources for people. If you can tell me anout your location (and any online rpg sales sites that have reasonable shipping costs near you) I can try to find out if it will be available there.

Yeah I know it is not anyone's but the shipping Co's fault. However there are cheaper options for you I am sure.

However I just tend to get the PDF professionally printed. Here in NZ I think there are now only 2 or 3 RPG stores, all of them 5 or more hours away.

That must suck for you. Of course, here in Uruguay there are zero RPG stores.

Quote from: Ladybird;638152You spend years berating rpg.net, and you really wonder why they're not rushing over themselves to applaud you.

Hmm.

Certainly couldn't have been anything you did, oh no.

The main reason I don't even lurk there anymore is because they don't seem to have much time to review or discuss games even when the designer isn't on their shit list.
