Shouldn't this be in the news and adverts section?

Nope.

Quote from: RPGPundit;841035Nope.

You sure?  Seems like there is a section about whoring out your products on these forums, one you make everyone use.
News and Adverts
Post, read, and discuss game-related advertising here.

This sure soounds like an Advert

Quote from: RPGPundit;839229Yes, it is out!

For the moment, we only have the book available in hardcover from Lulu, in its main and variant cover.


(main cover)


The two books are the same other than the covers.  You'll be able to get the book in softcover in about a week or two, from RPGnow, where the PDF will also be available.


(variant cover)


But really, why wait??  Go pick it up today! This 275 page hardcover book, complete for campaigning, can be yours for under $30!

Now praise me, and throw money at me!

This is information, not just advertising.  This is where people can reasonably expect to come get information about Dark Albion.

But you can feel free to keep right on having sour grapes if you like.

"Information",
Yes, it is out!

You seem to be missing the other 9 pages of information here.  But in any case, it doesn't matter much, because whenever someone posts something about a product they've made, guess who the guy is who gets to decide whether it counts as "advertising" or as a thread worthy of going on the main forum?

Hint: it's not you.

It's probably a bit premature to ask but I was just wondering if there are any plans to bring out supplements in the future; setting books or a big campaign for example?

There are plans indeed. I am right now finishing (the text) of a one session introductory adventure (for 1st level characters) set on London Bridge. This one will be a "pay-what-you-want" PDF. If it's successful and bring me some money (so think of the "pay-what-you-want" as a sort of kickstarter), I have another, longer scenario to write.

Sign me up!

Then how about just admitting to it instead of slathering on some sophistry.

Admitting to what, you ass?

Quote from: RPGPundit;841135Admitting to what, you ass?

That you own the board, apparently.

We've repeatedly had discussions about Kickstarters on main board where the thread is definitely half information and half promotion. Please don't believe me, go check out the Shadows of the Demon Lord thread from a few months ago...or last week ZakS casually mentioning he got nominated for an ENnie.  

I am good with News/Adverts bleeding over to the main RPG board if the topic is about RPGs.

Yes.  And why we don't get quite the level of setting debate as we had on RPGNET, the bulk of the discussion has been asking about setting details, how to use, and discussing the book.  That's a lot of on topic material.  

I suspect we'll get more detailed discussion once the Lulu books start arriving and the PDF bundle goes up.  Then we can ask even more questions or discuss the setting with more of the material to discuss.

Absolutely.  I'll be glad for any threads that come up with questions about Albion; and for now I see this thread as a place for people who are considering buying the book to ask me about its contents.

Anyways, the first part of the first review of Albion has come out, and it's gushingly positive. The only thing I took slight issue with was the totally incorrect description of it as being a "book for FH&W".  Other than the appendix at the end, there's no explicit Fantastic Heroes & Witchery material in Dark Albion, and the setting was not made for nor the original campaign played with FH&W.  Dark Albion is, outside the appendices (which deal with two different systems: FH&W and the 'Appendix P' Pundit house-rules), totally system neutral for OSR games of any type.
