The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Hey there!

Hello there Herecgunina!

Sorry to post what is no doubt an old question, but I haven't found it (yet) in the huge thread about the Immortals Handbook.

Hey! No apologies necessary mate. If you (or anyone for that matter) have any questions feel free to ask away, and don't worry if they have maybe been asked before.

My question being, of course, how much is this going to cost? I like the sound of this project, but the gaming budget's tight (college tuitions don't grow on trees, unfortunately)...

Well the prices for both pdfs and printed d20 books are fairly standardised.

I think the Apotheosis pdf will be about $8 (approx. 128 pages); the Grimoire pdf will be about $5 (approx. 64 pages); the Bestiary pdf will be about $8 (approx. 96 pages - but more artwork); the Chronicle pdf about $5 (approx. 64 pages).

So thats roughly $26 total for the pdfs.

The eventual print book (approx. 368 pages) should be in around the $35-$40 mark.

The print version will probably have more art, any errata corrected, tweaks based on feedback, and a few new things added. I don't see any way that it could be more than $40 so thats definately the ceiling limit.

Awesome, I can afford that. Looking forward to your eventual release.

This is the main opponent at the moment, a former ruler of a layer of Hell. He’s the bastard son of Halgrin (god of suffering and torture) and a pit fiend. He’s killed a major NPC ally of the party and a PC, and he’s bought out a major ally of the party, the rock dragon Vorgixat. At the moment he’s keeping a low profile, sending a paleolich assassin after the remaining PCs. Do you have any idea what CR he might be?

Hey, what about the equipment? Does it include a Stake of Impaling?

Hey Krust-O, I know you've mentioned Lucifer, any other big names you may want to drop just to tease us?

Also if not a date how about that (Season) (Year) thing video game developers do when stuff's a while off? (Like Fall 2084 as a random example) (Crosses fingers for by Spring or Summer)

With SRD issues and everything else the product seems almost cursed. did you ever consider bringing in a shaman or exorcist of any form? Although I imagine casting out the demons might lead to an inexplicable loss of certain pages of the Bestiary....

I appreciate the interest, thanks.

Hi jessemock!

I was wondering about equipment too?

NB. There was none counted in the CR I gave.

Hey Krust-O,

Hi Bjorn mate!

I know you've mentioned Lucifer, any other big names you may want to drop just to tease us?

No.

Just before release I'll post the exact Table of Contents so you can see for yourself.

Also if not a date how about that (Season) (Year) thing video game developers do when stuff's a while off? (Like Fall 2084 as a random example) (Crosses fingers for by Spring or Summer)

Spring 2004...obviously. *touch wood*

Cheeky.

Hi UK

At first, let me say that you've done a great work with the IH as far as I can judge it and I'm very anxious to see it released.
I don't know exactly, that's why I ask as a precaution. Do you ship the printed book, too?

WelL I appreciate the kind words mate.

and I'm very anxious to see it released.

That makes two of us.

Well I would imagine certain suppliers would ship the printed book, but that would depend on the supplier.

Do bears poo in the woods!

Hes CR 76/EL 25...depending on situational modifiers of course.

Meaning hes a 50/50 challenge for a Party of four 32-39th level characters.

Of course, my party was average level 19 when they fought it... fortunately they had a bit of help.
