What he said.RichGreen said:I joined Open Design with Empire of the Ghouls, and also signed up for Six Arabian Adventures and now Blood of the Gorgon. The last two projects (and I guess Blood of the Gorgon too) were run through Livejournal. You need to sign up for Livejournal and become a "friend" of Open Design to see the patron-only posts. How much you participate is up to you - Wolfgang generally posts updates every 2-3 days and you can add comments, vote on polls etc or simply read what everyone else says. For all three projects I've only made the minimum donation so I'll let others give their views on what you get for the higher amounts. Anyway, Open Design is great fun and I was very happy with the finished Empire of the Ghouls product.
Empire of the Ghouls is excellent and I'm looking forward to Six Arabian Nights and then Blood of the Gorgon. Brilliant value even if you just get the adventures at the end -the extra features such as commentary on design decisions and the like are just a bonus.
As an aside I got the Lulu version in hardback for Empire of the Ghouls and I have to say that I was very impressed by the quality of the finished product in dead tree format - I knew the content would be good from the PDF, but I'm now sold on the POD idea as well.
