I saw them last night after he posted the link and before his bandwidth limit was reached.  The artwork was very nice from what I could tell.  Really looking forward to them.

Lich Dungeon looks great.

First "public" release, fyi:

We want paper, not that phony pdf bullshit!

Same site should offer paper shortly (or so I'm told).

That's disgusting.  Keep that crap to yourself, Gnat.

I don't do credit cards myself. Sure road to ruin.

For now, that's what we're going with. A press version is perhaps remotely possible eventually maybe, I guess sorta.

Corporately we're oriented to the global digital marketplace, getting away from the limitations of deadtree overhead and its resultant mandates. Thanks to the internet, direct sale is the future of publishing.

Limited edition high-grade press of EE items is a probable subcategory, if only for the artwork reproduction. But mark my words, the graphic quality (for both home & POD) will be rising sharply in the near future.

fwiw, all four now available on PDF, link above.

Paper is gonna take about a week, I'm told; they have to triplecheck our formatting & layouts to make sure.
(Since we've already run our own paper, this will be just a formality.)

Wait to order if you want multiple, to get a shipping discount (if they do that, I really don't know... but they should).

I just downloaded the preview of Lich Dungeon on RPGNow.com. I must say that the actual storyline and encounters seem cool, but the statistics blocks are a dealbreaker for me. They remind me of the Universal System adopted by Judges Guild after they lost the TSR license, which at the time killed off my interest in the company because conversion to AD&D/D&D became too much of a chore. I basically was forced to rewrite the statistics from scratch, something I didn't have patience for back then and still don't have patience for now. Being as such is the case, does Eldritch Enterprises have any plans to offer their products in OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, or Swords & Wizardry statistics in future? Conversions to any of the three systems would convince me to purchase your products. For now, I am going to take a wait and see attitude. Regardless, for those who don't mind what I consider to be a rather major conversion to the 1st Edition D&D rulesets, I feel that customers will find much to like in Lich Dungeon.

Sorry if my post rains a bit on Eldritch Enterprises' parade, but I felt a compulsion to post my concerns because apart from the choice of statitistical presentation, Lich Dungeon looks like something I would be interested in purchasing.
