Selling Much of my RPG collection

I've been selling off large portions of my RPG library on eBay. Some great deals have been made, collectors and RPG fans have made off with some incredible bargains. I'll also be sprinkling in some old school stuff (currently the blue box!) as well.

I put up Gary Gygax's Magnum Opus: Dangerous Journeys! The most complete collection of this impressive RPG you are likely to find. Including the short run magazine that supported it.

B&W and the cost of color

While doing art for Warriors of the Red Planet I was thinking about the cost of printing. For an endeavor like this, which is really a fan publication - a labor of love - the cost of printing in full color is out of the question. So the hardcopy will certainly be black & white (with a color cover of course). While the cost of color art is usually prohibitive, that is not the case here, because I'm happy to do all the art in color. The problem is that printing full color costs too much. So I thought it might be neat to do the PDF in full color - where the cost of printing is not an issue, and doing the hardcopy in b&w.

Now, I'm not promising this, just saying it's an idea that occurred to me as I was making art for this incredible RPG being written by one of our very own talented designers.

You may recognize the little beastie above. A hideous plant man of Mars! I did a full color version previously, and when I paint full color I usually do a b&w first. So this crazy scheme to add more value to the PDF sounds more reasonable. (In some ways I like the b&w version better anyway, so thought I'd share)

More White Apes

Various design concepts for the white apes in Warriors of the Red Planet.

I've explored a small range here from very literal apes (4 & 6 above) to slightly more exotic designs. I also like the idea of tiger stripes, so their fur would be much like a white tiger (3 & 5). I'm curious to hear which of these designs tickles your fancy, or even if none of them do.

Another Princess of Mars

Looking forward to seeing more Warriors of the Red Planet and filling it with illustrations of warriors, princesses, and savage aliens battling on a dying planet! In the meantime here is another version of our beloved Dejah Thoris. I think this design works a little more convincingly than my previous attempt, though far less risque.

White Box Set looking good

Brave Halfling Publishing is showing off some previews of the Swords & Wizardry white box set, and it's looking enticing.

According to the publisher this boxed set contains everything you need to play:

• 6″ x 9″ Game Box
• Four Rule Booklets (Characters, Spells, Monsters, & Treasures)
• A digest-sized copy of Matt Finch’s, “Quick Primer for Old-School Gaming”
• Ten of Marv Breig’s 3″ x 5″ Index Card Character Sheets
• Set of Polyhedral Dice
• Pad of digest-sized Graph Paper
• Pencil

Since it doesn't also list a crayon, I'm assuming the numbers on the dice will be pre-inked.

Looking at the previews I'm taken with how appealing this deal is.
