[NEWS] Echoes From Fomalhaut #03 released in PDF

Blood, Death, and Tourism!

I am happy to announce the publication of the PDF version of Echoes From Fomalhaut #03, now available from RPGNow. This issue of the zine features an adventure set on a tropical island paradise dotted with odd ruins, a GM’s guide to the Isle of Erillion mini-setting, monsters converted from the excellent Wizardry VII computer game, and the description of a destructive magical enigma, as well as the people who follow its path of devastation. People who have purchased the zine in print are eligible for a free copy of this edition (these download links have just been sent out). Print copies are still available at emdt.bigcartel.com. Looking at typical shipping times, a US order still has good odds of making it before Christmas.

In other news… Echoes From Fomalhaut #01: Beware the Beekeeper has been reprinted, and 38 out of 120 copies have already been sold of the new printing. In yet other news, Echoes From Fomalhaut #04 is going to be slightly delayed – I am looking at a January release. When I posted about the zine’s regular, quarterly schedule, a little voice in my head was trying to warn me not to jinx it. So much for listening to good advice!

However, the late few months have not been spent idle. I published a module for the 10th anniversary of my RPG, and judged a module writing contest. Two of the entries will also be released in English; one in Echoes, and one as a standalone scenario. And of course, there will be more to come.

  1. Looking forward to #4, Gabor, and the rest of your future endeavors.

    Have you noticed a significant split between print+PDF vs. PDF-only sales?---I know many folks have asked when PDF copies of _Tales of Peril_ will be available, for example, given the high cost of shipping outside of North America.

    1. Thanks, Allan!

      Print+PDF is the main thing I am selling (it is where my heart truly is), and that's what people are mainly buying. It is a mostly consistent 2/3 - 1/3 split.

      WRT shipping, I am keeping the zine light for this specific purpose (under 100 g per issue). Later on, I have plans for a few heftier products, like Castle Xyntillan, and they will have higher shipping costs.

  2. I am REALLY liking Echoes of Fomalhaut (as well as the Barbarian King). Big thank you to Black Blade Publishing for recommending them! I am looking forward to getting #3 and future English publications.
