If it actually *wins* the ENnie award it has been nominated for, I may attempt a larger printing. But that's something that I'll talk about with the project's sponsors if that unlikely event should come to pass."Okay, I just joined as a member for the "Empire of the Ghouls", but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pick up the POD for Castle Shadowcrag. Help?

islestrike wrote:Actually I read the beginning of it yesterday and looked more closely at the 20 levels. It actually looks to be quite a good donjon afterall. The thing I found interesting is the whole concept of linking the historical timeline to successively deeper levels of the dungeon. It's kind of archeological in finding deeper more mysterious things from the past the further you go, until you hit some antedeluvian age on the 18th-20th levels. At least that is what is implied. I looked at levels 18-20 which were pretty good.The productions values aren't too shabby either. I noticed art from Steven Poag, Brad McDevitt, and the maps by Jeremy Simmons, the same dudes that work on the DCC line. I'll read it some more tonight to see how it holds but I'd be interested to know why you think it is just an ok donjon. How does it compare to what is in the First Fantasy Campaign? Is that any better?Cheers!

To be fair to Baur, I found a later posting where he disagreed with the thoughts presented here, but honoring his "patrons" wishes, he went ahead and said he would abide by the sentiment. So instead of Baur, I guess I should have instead been angry at the patrons that would deny me getting a look at the already published stuff.... [...]I don't enjoy being shutout of self publishing efforts I had no idea were even being offered. I feel sorry for the guy in, say, two years who just discovers Open Design and is REALLY pissed he's not going to be able to ever see any of the last three years worth of goodies.... Mike B .

Guido-the-Gypsy wrote:Not that there was any question, but I wanted to post my experience after I signed up as a patron with Wolfgang. I, due to my technical inabilities, was unable to find the link to purchase the Castle Shadowcrag module after signing up. Woflgang personally responded to my inquiry and patiently helped me over a period of 4 days. When all was said and done, there was a tech glitch that resolved itself. I wanted to publicly thank Wolfgang and encourage anyone who was on the fence to serious consider joining Wolfgang's patronage program. I have been very impress thus far and look forward to being part of this project.

They aren't gone yet, but.... It won't be that long. I'm keeping the current stock to provide to new subscribers; if I had to guess, I'd say there won't be back-issue sales because I underprinted.
