Sorry iof this has been asked before, but what's the difference between EN5ider and Trailseeker?

The latter is for Pathfinder, the former has a big red 5 in the middle of it.

As far as I can tell, I'd have to order a bunch, store them, and then sell and ship them myself? That's some overhead I don't have the resources to do. I was hoping for something more like cafe press where they sell them on demand for you and pay royalties.

Yeah, that may be the case. Not sure though. If you want to contact them, just to make sure, ask for Patrick, and tell him that Tim Bannock sent you. We work together quite a bit, and he'd know all the models they use for their different customers.

For the EN5ider adventures, do all monster stats have to be included, or can a certain book be referenced...?

That's all in the shiny new style guide on the site!

Huzzah! Missed that link somehow.

I guess I still need one point of clarification: can I say "you encounter a Mage" which refers to Ye Book That Shall Not Be Named's Mage statblock, or would it be safer to just stat up a new monster named "Mage" and thus avoid any possible confusion?

Sorry if these questions are better aimed at an email to James Haeck...

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, talk to the editor! That's what I'm paying them for!

Can do! Thanks again.

I think I found my answer, anyway; pays to click every single link ;-P

For the record, and if anyone was on the fence about submitting something, it was a great experience working with James on the editing front. The Business of Emotion was the first adventure I've written and he was pretty patient with me as we worked on the final formatting and content edits.

Thanks for the opportunity to be part of the EN5IDER kickoff, can't wait to hear more about the roll out and see the final product!

Agreed! James was excellent to work with.

I must say working under Felipe for Trailseeker was an excellent experience as well. As my En5ider colleagues, I'm very excited to be a part of this kickoff. Can't wait to see the final product!
