'TIS THE SEASON

I've been blathering on for a while about the pulp RPG supplements I've been working on for Adamant Entertainment. 

 

Typically, these are PDF only—we publish through DriveThruRPG/RPGNow—and the system available to us does allow for print-on-demand. 

 

That said, the individual supplements are designed to be low-cost for the consumer, so they don't run more than 35-40 pages. Meaty pages, but still, not giant mega-sourcebooks. 

 

This means that the print-on-demand option is not particularly cost effective for the consumer. 

 

Recently, though, we took a page from the comics biz: we've amassed enough of these supplements to combine into a "trade paperback" of sorts—edited and updated, with some new material into the bargain, and can charge a not-extravagant price for it as a print-on-demand book. (Plus you get the PDF, too.) 

 

So, I give you, for Thrilling Tales, Second Edition: "Axis of Evil, Volume One," an omnibus of pulp villainy. 

 

This book contains a heavily updated version of Pulp Villains: Violet, plus:

 

Pulp Villains: Count Shadau

Pulp Villains: The Yellow King

Pulp Villains: Von Keiner

Pulp Villains: The Subterranean Monarch

Pulp Villains: Baron Korga

 

Be bad for the holidays, and order a copy from DriveThruRPG or RPGNow! Six villains, twenty bucks. 

 

 

Also out, just in time to celebrate the holidays with tales of a soul-crushing dystopian oligarchy: LAZARUS X +66 #5! This issue, we're joined by the incredible Bilquis Evely (Wonder Woman).
