FYI, the second half of 2012 didn't happen for Epidemic due to a family emergency. Things are returning to normal soon though. Likely in about a week we should be operating again.

As for your tablet, do you know what version of PDF it supports? Some readers may not be able to handle the transparencies and stuff in the newer PDF files. I have a flattened version I can post for you if you want to try it. Ping me and let me know.]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:26:29 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Wed, 21 Nov 2012 06:05:16 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Sat, 07 Jul 2012 04:45:47 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:34:00 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Paulon Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:55:33 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Fenryx Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:03:30 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Darksteed Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:23:11 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from greg Fenryx wrote:
Is it in print? I'm running out of room on computer for pdfs


Ha, we have up on print because people were telling us they dind't have room on thier shelves for more books.

Currrently it's not, because I was having trouble finding a POD printer that does a landscape format 11x8.5 book. (and I even actually happen to work for one of the biggest POD printers around). That means In order to print I'd have to somehow trim the book down to 10x8 and I don't have time to redo the layout. I've considered shrinking it, but that might look bad. Though you can't tell, Todd and I are very busy working on stuff now, and so this kind of ended up a dead end.

One option would be to rotate the book and have the spine on the top. Would you buy that, or would that just look crappy?]]> Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:43:00 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:23:23 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from ShadowcatX Thu, 01 Dec 2011 06:27:17 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Fenryx Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:30:31 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:28:07 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Fenryx Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:25:32 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland
Why 10? They produce 1-5 hit die offspring on a daily basis. Wouldn't a 1 hit die creature make more sense?

And mutant how? I don't see anything that remotely looks like a mutation.]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2011 03:18:28 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from greg Derek Holland wrote:
I finally bought it and it is excellent. Which 7 are new? And who did the art for the gelatenous slaver?


Wonderful! Thank you! Funny, but all the ones you mention are new: Exete, Gelatinous Slaver, Pacinka, Hosshin, Lukax, Jokhu, Wisp All these were done by Dave for this book. Olli did the slaver art. Wish I could afford to have him do more. He does great work at a very reasonable price. You seem to have spotted the few pieces of art we had to rush out as the deadline approached. Glad you like the rest of it though.

I'm not surprised the Athrigyle had the errata, the first one in the list always gets checked before the editor really gets his mojo working. ]]> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:25:08 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland
My only complaints- the two blurry undead make my eyes ache and the bayowulf's art isn't very acurate to the description (their hindlegs are flippers).

Personal favorites- exete (I love pets that show diversity) and pacynka (an amazing critter, truely inspired). And I don't think there is a stinker in the whole book. Some I won't use but nothing I think below on the cutting room floor.

Only errata I caught- athrigyle is missing the eyes ability for the third stat block.

David, if you read this, 4 thumbs up! ]]> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 06:44:49 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from greg Here's the link:

And Oathbound Bestiary works for me. Just please, whatever you do, don't throw the word Ultimate into the title. I'm begging here.

The preview looks great.

Thanks! By the way, I realized the skills are off on the preview (looks like they never got pathfinderized. The skills are the last thing I edited on the book since they are kind of a pain). Here's the updated ones:

Polar: Acrobatics +20, Perception +12, Stealth +14
Volt Polar: Acrobatics +22, Perception +14, Stealth +16
Spark Polar: Acrobatics +22, Perception +14, Stealth +16
Racial Bonus: +8 on Acrobatics checks, +4 on Stealth checks]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 23:06:06 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Paulon Wed, 24 Aug 2011 01:54:35 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Twin Agate Dragons Paulon wrote:
I'd be interested in a physical book. It might be safer for you to consider a print on demand version to doing a print run.

Those 7 new monsters- any of them mine?


No, I would have contacted you if they were. I mentioned to Dave he could consider some of the ones posted on the forums, but he wanted to do his own thing. And I appreciate that, since it's his name going on the book. He put a lot of work into this.]]> Fri, 01 Jul 2011 00:57:42 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from Derek Holland Thu, 30 Jun 2011 04:22:46 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from greg Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:11:25 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic55-.aspx Message from greg
So you may be wondering a few things:
1. When can I get this? --Good question. Probably August or September. It all depends on how fast the artists turn stuff in. We'll give a release date soon.
2. How much will it be? -- $10 for a pdf
3. Will there be a print version? --It's not planned, but if enough people want to shell out the crazy cost for a color book, let me know and I'll reconsider. I don't think this book will look good in black and white, but let me know if you think you'd buy it anyway.
4. Is there new content? --We took the 50+ monsters from all the oathbound products and completely reworked them and then updated them for pathfinder. Dave also added about 7 completely new monsters in addition to the over 100 alternate versions he invented.
5. What will it be called? --For now, it's called the "Oathbound Bestiary", but I'm open to suggestions. I'd toyed with "Oathbound Enemies" for a while, but Todd thought that sounded more like an NPC book than a monster manual.
6. Will it kick ass? --Oh yes, it will.]]> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:10:53 GMT
