Iron Heroes Revised - Print edition?

Hi!

Does anyone knows if there's any way of purchasing a print edition of the revised Iron Heroes rules, by Fiery Dragon Productions? From what I've seen at FDP's site, they only seem to sell the pdf...

There used to be, at lulu.com, but. . . not any more, it seems.

Perhaps they've pulled the plug on IH, and have moved on to. . . something else. But yeah, I don't really know either way.

Maybe if you email them, via an address at their site(?). Or if they have a forum, that might even be a good option.

Thanks for the reply, Aus_Snow.
I'll try asking directly to the people at FDP, as they don't seem to have a forum

Thanks for that, Claudio!

And, yes, the b&w art you produced for the d20 era of Ravenloft and Masque of the Red Death was simply excellent. I specially enjoyed your depiction of the Shadow Fey.

I must say that I find your b&w art a lot more atmospheric than your color ones.
This is not, however, meant to sound as criticism; I just think that you have been favored by the Dark Powers, along with Talon Dunning and Kevin McCann. (I don't know if drawing attention from the DPs is such a good think, though )

Did anything ever come of this? I have been exposed to the awesomeness of IH and would love to get my mitts on a revised hardback.

Revised softcover to be printed in September

Hi folks, Adam did give us permission to reprint the IHRevised book in softcover format [we cannot justify a hardcover]. We will be offering this in September - somewhere around the $35 price point as we are doing a short run of it.

As for LULU - I am still angry at those folks. They actually lost our files, and I had uploaded them eons ago when working on my mac mini [the source files of the original were on Mac so I kept it on that platform as there were a significant amount of fonts used in it, and transtype did not exactly convert the Type 1's over perfectly]. I since then only work on a PC and to get out a mac and dig the files back out wasnt something I wanted to do - I mean LULU couldnt actually be serious they lost all my files that I had tweaked to their hardcover specs could they? They did - and I couldnt believe it, I guess they lost the backup tapes....

So theres the long of it - we will make a softcover of it next month for sale through the website and ponder on a release to distro. We will also offer the Bestiary and Mastering as softcovers.

If you really want a hardcover book it will be awhile because I just dont want LULU to make any money off granting me grief at this point.

Thanks!

Does Amazon or Drivethru have their POD programs up yet?

By the way, are there any reviews on Iron Heroes Revised describing what was changed?
