Sample Character: Esfyazza
Wednesday, August 03, 2005
I got the revised art back from Jake! So cool. He modified the dress and still kept the great line that conveys her twirling movement. I couldn't be happier.Here's a Stranger Things sample character PDF for Esfyazza.
I also got two amazing pieces from Ed Heil, which you will be seeing soon. C'mon... I can't give you all the goods at once, right? Gotta keep you comin' back for more.

Crap, rings on the wrong hand! Crap! My bad. Nice layout though, I like it.
Well, whaddya know... how about I just change the text? Much easier. :-)
bend to my will
sweet! cool art, cool layout and cool will bending!
Dig it. Nice layout. Hand still bugs me a bit though.
RAWK. So this is gonna be a great game. Even the character sheet example is grabby as hell.
From a high level view, it's Trollbabe, but Troll=>Demon, Trollbabe=>Stranger? And intense urban fantasy instead of barbarian Celtic/Germanic era?
That sounds pretty intense.
You've got it right, Ed. Instead of "female power" the game plays up the "caught between two worlds" theme. It's two notches over on the scale of fantasy <------> horror, too.
It's also my bid for a clear "how to play this game" text. We'll see if I succeed.
Howdy.
I just stumbled across this through Jake's post on the Connections forum; you've got my interest! I love Trollbabe, and crossing it with Lankhmar, well, that's genius!
The char sheet looks great, too. I love the fact that all you need to know is contained in the boxed prose!
How and when are you going to be publishing this?

Hello Aaron,
I plan to publish in early September. The game will be PDF only, like Trollbabe. Probably available from the Forge bookshelf, and possibly from RPGnow as well.
PDF only??
Damn you!
*pout*
I have learned my lesson from hard, bitter experience, Eric. I will never again sink any amount of my own money into printing a game and then sitting on inventory that may or may not sell.
(Talislanta sold very well, actually, but due to an unethical asshole of a distributor, we never saw a dime of it. And I still don't want to have to deal with an inventory of books, regardless.)
If the PDFs sales generate enough revenue to make print books in the future, I may do it.
I'm also looking into POD services in the meantime, like Lulu and others.
Out of pestering curiosity, would you consider making a short print run if you had enough pre-purchases?
Yes.
So is ring placement issue resolved? I need to know before cranking out a pic of this girl this weekend...
Adam (doesn't want a blogger account)
Yes. The ring should be on her right hand.
Judging from the comments alone, you can guarantee about a dozen sales as soon as you put up a buy button.
Well, let's see...
You've got the basic Trollbabe mechanics, if I'm not mistaken. One of my favorite systems. Add in Hellboy and Lankhmar, and...and...
Oh, yeah, I'd buy a hard copy of this in a New York minute. Lacking a bound copy, I'll certainly buy the PDF.
Lulu is actually looking very attractive, if I can figure out a price point that makes sense. I think the likelihood of a print version has gone up from 0% to about 50% now.
Hopefully, Lulu will let me arrange a system where you can buy the PDF or buy the print version and get the PDF for free.
LULU is pretty awsome. I plan on using them to put out my comic.
hey, I'd buy a print version of this game too, by the way.
Uh, yeah, please do a print version. PDF-only games are much less...something.
Notably, dead tree editions are a lot more portable.
