Post 26- Penny Red Episode One is Live
I finally finished cutting episode 1 of the podcast yesterday and then proceeded to record episode 2.
The podcast's called Penny Red and it covers roleplaying stuff as well as occasionally touching on Victoria. I quickly discovered trying to do it with just me makes for a podcast that is, shall we say " challenging" for those who struggle to get the right amount of sleep. As a result I got my Mother and Father to help me recall some of the early details of my foray into roleplaying. In the process my Mother calls my friends and me stupid and I go after my father for the lack of parental care he showed for his son's mental well-being.
Episode 2 will go live Sunday and it's a delightful interview with Karen Twelves covering everything from wishing Hackmaster out of existence to using your gaming group as a dating pool.

Post 26- Podcast and POD
Over the last week and a half I've been putting together a podcast to support the game. I got a couple of guests to help flesh out some of the details from the early posts in the blog and I've spent quite a bit of time lining up what I hope will be some interesting and relevant interviews for future shows. Judging by how long it's taken so far to put the first one together I'm not sure that I could make it weekly but I plan to do a few shows before committing to a schedule.
It's been an interesting learning experience and a little disconcerting to discover just how many times I say "umm" in any given sentence! I also discovered that with just one person speaking it's a challenge not to drone so the solo parts will likely comprise a limited amount of the show.
The drivethrurpg/rpgnow store front is bringing previously unheard-of levels of traffic to the site and is also having an appreciable impact on sales. As a result I've added a POD version of the book to the products offered through them.
For those considering purchasing the POD version a few details that you may wish to know ahead of time. The book's printed on 50lb paper (thinner) than the 70lb paper used in the print version, its not numbered or signed and there are no maps on the inside covers. The maps are duplicated in the back of the book however, as they are in the print version. Lastly the shipping costs are about $8 less and as they print in the US and England the delivery time may be reduced from what I'm seeing coming out of Canada.
Thanks to everyone for all the support.

Post 25- drivethru/rpgnow
After a bit of down time I'm into promotion for the book "full time". This just means the time I used to spend writing I now spend answering forum questions and finding outlets for the book in its two forms.
Today I submitted the file to drivethru/rpgnow and have had it approved for addition to the catalog. You can find it here:
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/
The payment structure is %65 to me %35 to them. If you're reading this, haven't purchased and want to, buying it from me directly is of no advantage to you at all but means I can buy a few extra seconds of dialysis for my sixteen sick adopted children. Well that, or a cup of coffee for me if they've been misbehaving and, you know, spending all my money on that medicine stuff.
Seriously though I don't have sixteen sick orphans, it's seventeen, another one's just been dropped off.
Buy the sweet, life-giving .pdf here...

Post-24 Books in Hand
Well, I have the finished product in my hand and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. I knew a proper printer would create a better resolution than I was seeing from the one I have at home but the images look so much crisper than I was hoping for.Altogether they look and feel like the "real roleplaying books" I've been buying for years and it's nice to reach the end of this phase.
Next... promotion!
Did I mention you can buy them here.

Post 23- Publication!
On Friday December 1st I finally handed over the book for printing.
The image right is the "mock-up" including the cover. It's different to the cover I had at Origins and GenCon but I felt this cover better represented the contents of the game.
The other image I have lined up as the cover of the next book Steam Chamber (working title), a steam-punk genre game based, again, on the Hazard resolution system.
The books themselves will be ready to ship by December 9th leaving plenty of time for shipping to those who want it before Christmas. I hear it makes a great stocking stuffer!
Cover Price is $25, $30 if you'd like the .pdf too and $15 for your very own digital copy of the book so you can peruse it before the physical copy arrives or you decide to commit to the hard copy. The "buy now" button for the book is not active yet because of Christmas.
If you want to be sure to get it and you're far afield let me know and I can check out faster shipping.
You can get the details at www.hazardgaming.com.
