[HARP] Cyradon now available!

[Rasyr]

Cyradon is a brand-new world setting for HARP. The land waits, petrified, deserted, waiting for life to return. In the centre of the wastelands, lies the wizard's city; its streets empty and silent save for the echoing of the wind and the shifting sand. In the great mesas, high above, the Gryphons sleep.

Below in a great courtyard, there's a strange pattern carved into the stone. A small jewel is embedded into the ground. The patterns stream out from that central point. And one night, the jewel flickers into life, and thousands of humans--weary, defeated, starved, and terrified, emerge into a whole new world.

Westward, beyond the desert, beyond the western mountains, lie lands unexplored for millennia…who lives there now? What will your role and destiny be in this new world?

Format: 27MB ZIP file containing the 184 page Cyradon book PDF plus 2 PDF maps.

Um... that last link goes to one of RPGnet's forums. You might want to fix that.

Is there a print edition of this book planned? Price and publishing estimate?

 

[Rasyr]

Print edition is supposed to be ready within a month, the final version of the print files is due at the printer on the 31st, and is supposed to be priced at $30 for a soft cover version, or $38 for the hard cover version (the PDF is only $15).

We are actually still waiting on some of the art, but we did not want to keep folks waiting any longer than we needed to, so we put in some substitute art from other HARP products. Once the final art does come in (supposed to be in no later than Wednesday), we will redo the PDF (and send the final version to the printer), and give all those who have purchased it by that point the chance to download (for free) the version with the proper art.

 

[JoeGKushner]

Sounds good. Will there be any chance for comments or proof reading to get snuck into the version being sold now to make the final print product even better?

 

[Rasyr]

Yes. That is one reason we are waiting until the end of the month to send it to the printer, rather than this week (once the last of the art has arrived).

We had a lot of people (me, my boss, our pagemaker, my wife, our playtesters, etc) proofing this, and yet, I am sure that we may have missed one or two things. Thus, we have (quite some time ago actually) gotten into the habit of not sending the files to printer until the PDF has been out for approximately 2 weeks. This gives our fans time to be very nit-picky and find those little things that we may have missed, and us a chance to correct them before the print version is done up.
