Um, is there a reason that none of them have alignments listed?

Right now, I'm going to wait until you offer the Bestiary in print. I just ordered Seven in B&W, sorry, I can't justify paying $100+ for a book with the Tome of Monsters from Frog God/Necromancer being the exception that proves this rule. But even this is going to have to wait until I can bring myself to pay that much for one book even if I know it's gonna be awesome and ultimately worth the insane price tag.

I can only guess but I'd say that's because on the forge alignment is so worthless.

But alignments also help in determining behavior. CE vs LN molesti are signifincantly different in actions.

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?

Ahh, too bad the Bestiary isn't a printed book would of bought that one as well. Bought the full color Oathbound: Seven, and Oathbound: Eclipse. Plus have all the older Oathbound books as well. Ahh well.

I'm picturing your proposal as a spiral bound affair so the plates could be viewed in hand and then rotated up and over, much like some of the flip books for children. It could be an interesting experiment. So the short answer for me on that is yes, I would purchase it.

I'd be interested in a printed copy.

I would like a copy as well, but in B&W to cut the cost down. I know that will screw up the color scheme, but reading the description will make most habitats obvious.

So any chance of a print friendly version?

Just an FYI, apparently some tables have a pdf reader that doesn't like the art. I can read all the text but none of the art shows up.

We are actually looking into a printed version now.

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.
