The Questing Beast (http://www.randomordercreations.com/tqb.html) is now available!
Instead of Print-on-demand, I opted to desktop publish the game. It is a 32-page book, comb bound with a silver metallic motif on a red cover. I'm including 5 hand-stencilled dice with every copy.
Special thanks to Paganini for his incredible editorial support and thanks to The Forge for providing the ultimate sounding-board any game designer could hope for!
Holy wow.
HAND-STENCILLED dice?
One question though: How many sides are these dice? Or is the surprise part of the advertisement?
I don't want to build people up over the dice so I'll describe them.
Ingredients: Standard cubes of wood (craft secion of any large department store), a stencil with some nice roses and thorns and leaves and stuff, red and black brush pens.
Process: Found the roses that would fit the dice, stencilled them. In place of a one, there is a red rose. In place of the six, there is a black rose. All other sides are blank. Hard to work on such a small surface, btw.
Just thought I'd toss them in as a bonus so you could use them for (drum roll please...) Bonus Dice!
Verah schweet! Looks like I've got my next rpg purchase lined up. :)
Now, if I could only get my hands on Black Wing. ;)

Heh heh. I'm on it. Gonna take some more time, though.
My copy came! And it's sweet! And the dice are cool! And the cover design is simple and beautiful - James, it's hand-stencilled, right?

Yeah, hand-stencilled. Some were done by my wife, Dawna, some were done by me. But the design is hers. I like it!
