I just finished writing another RPG book, or something like that.

Hey Paige,

   I could totally use my friend google and do some research but I am messed up as of late and can't look at screens for long without getting massive headaches. I read the synopsis on the site and it makes me think that this is part of something that was much bigger. Would you kindly give me the run down of what it's all about?

Very cool. Do you only offer print versions due to how easy it would be to have pdf's from something like RPGNow pirated?

Yes, it is an add on book to my "Red Box Fantasy" roleplaying game. Red Box Fantasy is a licensed reworking of the old Dungeons and Dragons concepts and rules. The PDF versions of the rules are free on my author spotlight. This book however is print-only for the time being.

To have it all in print format you buy both the Red Box Triple Threat book and Red Box Fantasy: Unfinished, Unedited and Unofficial. Total is $54.85 and there is a 10 percent off promo code right now LULU10. To compare you would be in at least $130 buying the current version of Dungeons and Dragons and one big supplement on Amazon.

JMB. I will likely offer this in PDF eventually. But I just feel it works better in print. It is almost 600 pages and jumping around a document that size (as you tend to in game books) is awkward in any reader. Also, I sort of wanted the big fans of the system to actually buy the book before it shows up on a torrent.

I will have to check that out. I played in High School. 2nd Edition.

My son just started playing with some friends at school. They are using the 5th edition.

You're sitting with your friends at a table near the fire in a tavern.  A mysterious stranger stands up and approaches your group.  He begins to speak of a mystical object and offers a reward to a band of heroes brave enough to find it.
