[Tricky Owlbear] Our 1st Anniversary and BtS: Compendium released!

[Napftor]

At long last, the book many have been waiting for is finally available and just in time for Tricky Owlbear's 1st anniversary! Behind the Spells: Compendium presents the first 36 issues of the Behind the Spells series along with brand new content and behind-the-scenes comments by the author!

As always, for each spell you get a history of the creator, at least two "spell secrets" (new rules for using the spell), and "related research" (new material which somehow relates to the spell or its creator). Whether you're a player or a GM, there's wealth of v3.5/OGL information in these pages just waiting to be unleashed at the game table.

Why buy books packed with new spells when there is still so much that can be done with the classics? Get back to basics with Behind the Spells: Compendium!

As of this day, this title is only available as a pdf at RPGNow, YourGamesNow and Paizo.com. But within the next week, you'll be able to purchase a print copy through Lulu.com (softcover and hardcover)! Watch for that announcement soon.

Retail price for the pdf is $15 but in honor of our anniversary, we're offering it at 20% off (or $12) for the next week. Thanks to everyone for your support of the series over the last 3 years!

When is this going up on Paizo?

I wish I knew. It's a bit different there than the other sites. You upload your file but then the Paizo folks "review" the product before activation. Hopefully it won't be long. I would have waited to post the press release until that time but I wanted to have it out there on our anniversary date.

The print version of Behind the Spells: Compendium is now available at Lulu.com! Follow this link: stores.lulu.com/trickyowlbear to get your (softcover) copy now. Hardcover coming soon (we are waiting for our publisher copy for approval).

Enjoy!

Thanks for the post, Scot! If anyone recalls from our previous press releases, we had originally planned on making a limited run of 100 books. After some debate, we decided to just go with Lulu and their proven track record and keep the book "in print" indefinitely.

Are there any questions about Behind the Spells: Compendium that we can answer?

 

[Napftor]

For those interested, the book is now up at Paizo! Because of the delay, that site is now the only one you can get the 20% discount for the pdf for another whole week. So don't delay, buy Behind the Spells: Compendium today!

In addition to the new book (in pdf and print), we've also opened up the Tricky Owlbear Emporium where you can get our corporate and series logos on various items. Just one more way to help your small third party publisher of 3.5 rules.
