You may have noticed we didn’t quite get around to a July edition of See Page XX, largely due to our getting ready for an amazing Gen Con year – we ran more than 130 games (according to RPG Geeker Bruce’s listing back in May, fifth out of all companies at Gen Con). Roleplaying is our passion and focus, and we’re delighted we had so many GMs to help us show Gen Con attendees how important games are to us – thanks to everyone who ran games!
Last month’s loss is this month’s massive edition. Production of the two core Dracula Dossier books dominated last month, but we still found time for a big, new launch in the form of a beautiful new hardback collection of the relentlessly purist Cthulhu Apocalypse rules and adventures. One month on, we’ve also got the long-awaited Dracula Dossier books: The Director’s Handbook, and Dracula Unredacted available to pre-order, either individually, or as a bundle with a 10% discount – plus, the first 200 bundle pre-orderers get a colour 8.5″ x 11″ print of Dracula’s Castle with their books.
We’ve also got the August edition of KWAS, Hideous Creatures: Wendigo, now available in the webstore, as is the August edition of 13th Age Monthly, 7 Icons Campaign. KWAS Vol. 3 subscribers now have the September edition, Hideous Creatures: Hunting Horror on their order receipt pages – this will be available to non-subscribers at the end of September.
