As of about 15 minutes ago Brink of Calamity is finally live for sale at DriveThruRPG in both (softcover) print and pdf versions. Note that DriveThruRPG is increasingly their print costs substantially on April 1st and the price of the print version of this book will go up by $3 to compensate (from $22 to $25), so if you're planning to buy the print version and want to save $3 you should place your order today, tomorrow, or Monday at the latest.
Since the adventure assumes you're using the rules and content from The Heroic Legendarium anyone who doesn't already have that should consider buying the pdf bundle that includes both titles at a substantial discount over buying them separately.
This book has been long in gestation and I had doubts at several points whether I would ever get it across the finish line (and I suspect some of you readers did as well) but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out and hope people who read about the Perlammo Salt Mines on Prince of Nothing's blog way back in September 2022 will consider it to have been worth the wait.
Also, while I'm here, I wanted to note for posterity that at some point last fall The Heroic Legendarium became a Gold bestseller at DriveThruRPG (meaning over 500 paid sales on their platform), which is pretty nice. I'm surprised by how it continues to sell, and actually sells as many or more copies per month now as it was 2 years ago, which I can only assume is coming 100% from positive word of mouth because I'm certainly not doing anything to promote it.
Leafing through the PDF, this book is even more substantial than anticipated - really, it has everything you would need from a complex sandbox, integrating towns, wilderness and dungeons into a single whole. L1-L2 did something similar, but on a much lesser scale; and from the modern old-school movement, Broken Castle is the book that comes close in scope and content.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making it, and congratulations for getting through!
Excellent news. That pdf bundle looks very tempting. And an adventure written in proper sentences! Text looks clean and readable on the previews.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is likely as close as we will ever get to a new Gygaxian TSR module.
Awesome, Trent...congrats on getting the book out the door!
