Emer I & II out of print?
« on: January 06, 2016, 05:05:31 PM »
So Eidolon kept me up to 2am last night.  Somewhere in there I decided 'you know what it's a good looking, book great content.  I think I'll go and order all the Emer books in the morning.'

This morning I get up to order them and all I can find is Emer III.  I & II there is not a trace of them on DriveThru or RPG Now, not even PDF's.

Thanks in advance.

Ever I & II are going to get the update treatment like Eidolon did and then you'll get PDF, Hardcover and Softcover options. :)

I'm glad you liked the book - did you also like the artwork?

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'll be having the Hardcovers when they come out.   :)

The art is evocative of the setting which is the main thing.  It's good to have a visual reference that is consistent.
I'm not sure about some of the line art in light blue, the brown works but but I'm not sure about the blue.  It might look better in black but then that would throw off the colour balance of the book.

I think the blue line art is from the original Eidolon book, although it was black in the original, so it's been recoloured.

You could probably pick up second hand copies of Emer I & II if you looked, but it would now probably be cheaper to get the new versions, when they are finished. Especially as there will be more content. I suppose the only real reason to get them now would be for the sake of completeness.
I made some things! Azukail Games

Glad you like the new Eidolon! Yes I am slowly working on updating both Emer I and Emer II, while also writing Emer IV and some other projects. Busy busy!

...and I'm busy doing more artwork as well - although I have the easier job as Terry's text always inspires me! :)
