Squaredeal Sten Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 It looks as though cover art for Jonstown Compendium POD needs to be done with technical guidance on the dimensions of the whole cover, front and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, DrivethruRPG provides template for dimensions needed based on hardcover/softcover and page count (which affects the spine). Of course, that mostly matters if you want a full wraparound cover. Using separate front and back does not need to address the spine. (And Nick is fantastic help working through all of that!)

Thanks, Harald! Sten, the template generator page is linked from here, you need to be logged in to your DriveThruRPG account to access it. Both hard- and softcovers need their cover art to extend throughout the “bleed,” which is bigger for the case-bound hardcovers. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

jajagappa Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Couple fun pics of Edge of Empire seen in the wild (thanks to those who posted on FB!). Currently at 18 5-star Ratings, and 7 Reviews. I noted on FB that if those reach 20+ Ratings and 10+ Reviews, I'll add another bit of bonus content! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Now, as for potential bonus content... well a secret archive in the King's Palace at New Lolon has been discovered with ancient scrolls locked away with arcane enchantments. It took an old Mostali device to unlock the seals and reveal the hidden documents! Scrolls from the time of the Imtherian Dart War, secrets of Amber Fort, and the original texts of the famed Travels of the Twelve (a few of which were laboriously transcribed into Edge of Empire)! Who knows what else may turn up! 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Printed copies of Edge of Empire made it to Chaosium Con (and sold out!). 🙂 The evidence: peeking out from under the price list at the pop-up store table; then the last copy in the back row before it, too, was sold. (And lots of other great content there too!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) And over on DrivethruRPG, another very kind review! *Just two more Reviews/one more Rating needed to unlock some further Bonus Content! 🙂 If you've picked up Edge of Empire, and haven't had a chance to rate/review it yet, you can help push it over that milestone!

jajagappa Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) One more great review over on DrivethruRPG from Angus. But this note particularly pleased me: "P.S. My players wanted to run a game in the Empire. Edge of Empire came out as we were thinking about such a game. I picked it up on a whim, and now they deeply love this quirky little corner of Glorantha" I love hearing that Edge of Empire has come into play as part of other people's Glorantha, and hope that more have/take the opportunity to explore it. 🙂 ** AND just one more Review and Rating on drivethruRPG needed to unlock some further Bonus Content! Who'll be the One to free some ancient treasures from the hands of the dwarfs??? 🤔 Edited April 21, 2023 by jajagappa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott-martin Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Having now seen it for myself I can confirm that this is the career achievement we were promised. It will take time to absorb the content (the thing is massive) and write a coherent review for the boards, but a casual flip reveals exquisite attention to the intimate details of the landscape and local population. This looks like a visual novel in the form of a deluxe sourcebook, actual literature, something like a folio Shakespeare written for dice around your table instead of the elizabethan stage. While layout and art are great stuff, my only regret is that this isn't (yet) a full-nostalgia boxed scenario pack to shelf beside Pavis and Borderlands in particular, against which it stands as a worthy and logical successor, extending our horizons beyond the fields we know . . . but as with all great succession plans, the new hotness manages to learn from past experiments and do it better. Imther will never be a blank land again. Edge of Empire, maybe, but core Glorantha now and forever.
