How many have considered buying EoMR in print?

[Marius Delphus]

Pages backward? Mine looks fine (although I don't know what a recto or a verso is!). But I'm flipping thorugh my copy right now, and it looks great. There's the border thing on the inside... I assumed it was supposed to be there!

A recto is a right-hand page, a verso is a left-hand page. The page borders are supposed to be on the outsides of the pages; I meant the spread with the exalten to look like the attached image.

After checking my files, I'm pretty sure I know what's up. I can have new POD versions of EOMR and LA ready within the next day or two.

Have you recieved the WotBS package yet, BTW?

Not yet. Next couple of days, I'm sure.

Ah, I get it. I didn't realise it wasn't supposed to look like that - I made it by simply removing the cover (first page) from the file. I would have thought that would have the right effect.

That would be jolly good of you! HOWEVER, if you're gonna be playing with the files - how big a job would it be to make a combined version? I'm assuming the problem will be page numbers which would start at 1 again halfway though. The chapters already continue (LA starts at Chapter 6, IIRC). I'd like to make a really pretty deluxe colour hardcover of the whole lot in one.

I think you'll be pleased - they came out perfectly! I'm in that "anxiously waiting for the next one" phase now!

It certainly would have *if* I had been more careful with how I put together the PDF pages. I like to think I've learned a lot since laying out these books.

I'll look into it. To get it "right" should be fairly straightforward.

Well, for one thing, I switched to a format where it doesn't matter which side of the page something prints on. So the recto/verso thing won't be an issue... I'm certainly looking forward to checking them out.

I would buy a POD of the EoMR.. but I already paid Kinko's to do it

I will be using Lulu for the rest of the WoBS and probably any other EnWorld PDF I buy, more than likely in addition to the straight PDF, that way I have the e-copy as well as hard-bound.

I bought EoMR and LA in POD from RPGNow a long time ago.
Are the new ones the same quality, or better?

BTW, I would definitely buy a combined hardback of the two, if that becomes an option.

 

[Estlor]

Yeah, a full color (or even black and white for that matter) combined harback of EoM would be just delicious enough to get me to buy the first one again.

I'm a big fan of the rule set and the version of D20 I'm rebuilding for my home use completely tosses Vancian magic out the door and replaces it with that. It was nice to get ahold of a print version for flipping since I don't have the benefit of two monitors on my desk (yet).

Yeah, we're putting together a combined hardback. Needs a little editing first (EoM:R keeps telling you to go buy LA, for example, and LA refers to itself as the sequel to EOM:R, when they'll both just be chapters in the same book).

We'll do it hardback, full colour. Problem is, it'll be expensive. The printing costs between b/w and colour interior increase massively. But it'll be nice to have available as a luxury, deluxe item for those who want it. It'll work out to about 150 pages, I should think.

We might do a "Hardback" edition (hardback, b/w interior) and a "Deluxe" edition (hardback, colour interior) to give people the choice, but I don't want them getting confused with so many versions of EoM out there! We'll see how it goes.

> sets aside $$$$ <




Save one of the Deluxe Editions for me!


An aside tho, RW mentioned something about re-revising EoM based on lessons learned with Mythic Earth? Is that still on the plate or would this revised-revision cover that?

I know he wanted to change how the magic skills worked....

I just bought print versions of EoM[R] and LA for my youngest brother's birthday (he's a big fan of EoM).

Yes... yes they did! Woo!

I think I can positively recommend this POD vendor
