The books are on the slow boat, but we should receive them in July.

In the meantime, for those of you who are attending Origins 2011, come to the Knights of the Dinner Table Live Reading/Meet n Greet event (Friday night, starting at 6 pm) for your chance at winning the FIRST Hacklopedia of Beasts hardcover off the press!

That's right -- we're giving away one of the advance copies we received from the printer to celebrate the moment (and the end of the long journey). Stop by the Kenzer and Company booth #123 for more details or to pre-order a copy. (Pre-orders and some previews are also available on the website.)

This nearly 400-page hardback/leathered/embossed monster of a book is full color throughout and signed by the authors. Actual photos are here and here.

I cannot describe how badly I want to have this book in my hands. I haven't been this excited for a book in a loooooong time.

Bump - they are releasing demos of monsters every week. This week's creature: the Owlbeast. A truly nasty bit of work as detailed in this 7 page entry...

Wow. I don't play Hackmaster, but I'm tempted to get the book simply because of how awesome it looks.

I was thinking the same thing.

And I like how there's an 'Edible' category and hide/trophy.

"Hide/Trophy for Owlbear Chick: Only novice fighting men stuff and mount these."

That's just cool to me.

Simply Beautiful.

Though I love the clean, elegant, easy to read look of 4E, it really just can't compare to this new Hacklopedia. The book itself is a work of art.
