clarence Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If it wasn’t for my birthday at the end of the month, November would probably grab the top spot as the worst time of the year. To brighten up this dreary month, I’m having a book giveaway featuring Elevation, the M-SPACE campaign I released this summer, written by Michael Larrimore. Check out reviews here: EN World and Runeblogger. The giveaway starts today and runs until Friday. Three winners will be announced on Saturday. First Prize: Softcover of Elevation. 172 pages, black and white print. Shipped anywhere in the world. Second and Third Prizes: PDF of Elevation. 172 pages. Sign up for the giveaway below and make sure you spread the word: https://gleam.io/V2h3N/elevation-mspace-campaign Clarence Redd 2 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurking Grue Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I already have the PDF of Elevation, but wouldn't mind a hard copy if I manage to win the 1st prize. I'll use this opportunity to ask how the M-Space Companion is shaping up? I, for one, am eagerly waiting that book. I really would like some examples of future weapons and armor, plus some sci-fi drugs (medical and combat ones, not recreational ones), like the ubiquitous medhypo. Sure, I can make something up (and have done so), but it would be nice to have pre-designed ones as well. I know those vary a lot according to the setting, but a few common examples from which to extrapolate wouldn't go amiss. Oh, and I agree, November really is the dreariest month of the year (at least where I live). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 The Companion is coming along nicely. Most of the chapters are written, with only two remaining to hammer out some final details. I’m very happy with how cybernetics and robots have turned out. They use a modular system similar to starships and allow a lot of flexibility without being complicated. I’ve also found Scott Crowder’s contributions very useful. Planning for artwork is underway and there will be some really cool illustrations. And I probably can’t stop myself from making a few as well. And thanks for joining the giveaway! I would have preferred to skip from October directly to December. Why can’t they just remove November? 3 1 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just a quick reminder that we’re halfway through the Elevation giveaway! You can still join here: https://gleam.io/V2h3N/elevation-mspace-campaign To give you a feeling for the setting, you can download the introductory scenario for free on DriveThruRPG. The Triton Incident, a 36 page scenario, is a freestanding murder mystery that introduces the players to Elevation. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/280146/The-Triton-Incident Winners are announced on Saturday. Good luck! Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauther Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I'm curious about M-Space and would like to read the colour book, but the shipping out of Sweden (around 30€ and I'm based in EC) is really expensive while ordering directly from FrostByte. Is there any shop or online shop, Clarence, where I could order the M-Space? Tack! Fred Edited November 20, 2019 by tauther 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi Fred, Yes, shipping for the colour print is expensive, unfortunately. I have brought it up with the printer several times, but they are not very interested. They thrive on the Swedish market and ignore everything else. Now, the black and white version is quite nice though. I have optimised the artwork as much as possible and it looks surprisingly good. And Lulu’s print quality has improved much over the years. In time, I will move the M-SPACE colour POD to DriveThruRPG. I cannot say when, but hopefully sometime during 2020.

Prinz Slasar Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I have all Frostbyte publications as printed works. And I can only say: Awesome! M-SPACE is a substantial, great addition to the MYTHRAS rules universe. ODD SOOT is simply a masterpiece, and ELEVATION is probably the most entertaining MYTHRAS supplement written. Even the small introductory scenario TRITON INCIDENT is recommendable: an oneshot like a sci-fi action thriller. REFLUX is great, too. If you don't have the Frostbyte books yet, you've really missed something. Edited November 20, 2019 by prinz.slasar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entering this giveaway... but ONLY because I won a copy of Odd Soot last giveaway, so if the luck of the draw got me another win I don't want any appearance of clarence rigging things! 😁 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vile Traveller Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yay me! I have just skimmed through it so far (hey, I've only had it a couple of hours), but I have to say I'm surprised! Firstly, at the size , it clocks in at a square 167 pages. Secondly, at the scope of it - it's not an adventure, or even a campaign outline, it's a template for a whole style of gaming ("to go where no man has gone before!"). Thirdly, about how much I now want to run a shoe-string exploration campaign laced with corporate cut-throatery and balancing on a diplomatic knife edge.

Charaina Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Besides cybernetics and robotics, can you say what else will be in the M-Space Companion? Looking forward to this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hi Charaina, I’m happy you’re looking forward to it! So am I. There will be a scenario, character backgrounds and rules for computers and hacking. Plus a couple of secrets.
