The print issues of Fight On! have been reduced in price until the end of the month. Also, a spiffy prestige all-in-one hardbound of the first four issues is available until April 1 if you'd rather get all that gaming goodness in one book. If you don't have FO! in print now's the perfect time to get it.
UPDATE: Also consider checking out Calithena's Campaign Compendium, 54 pages of notes from the editor's long-running fantasy world.

After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

Jeff, do you know if they're including the covers of issues 2, 3, and 4 inside?
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're in there but in black and white.
ReplyDeleteCurse you, Rients!
ReplyDeleteNot really. Thanks for letting me know where my next 50 bucks are going.
Fight On!
Just ordered my hardcover copy. Thanks for letting us know it existed. Between the US-Canada exchange rates and the *holy cow* SHIPPING COSTS !?! I won't be eating next week.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
The price of devotion. It'll be worth it! ;)

Hopefully the cover will match the contents for anyone ordering the hardbound edition...
ReplyDelete@sirlarkins: Well, I don't know how to tattoo, but I can't say I've ever wanted to. ;)

Thanks Jeff! What Jeff said, Trollsmyth.
ReplyDeleteThat tattoo story would be kind of funny if it wasn't such a hassle. Sorry about that.
Thank you guys for your support! One way or another we're trying to win this thing.
Still looks extremely expensive to me; especially the download versions. Maybe it's the $-£ conversion rate, but this new stuff is more expensive than buying most of the old school classics (eg G1-3) on ebay. Definitely outside my price limit, which is a pity as I'm sure it's good stuff. But there is a lot of good stuff available free, or for a lot less than this.

Its where the games are!

ReplyDeleteI suppose if it's a question of buying Fight On! or G1, purchasing G1 might win out. But most of us already have those classics in one form or another. What we don't have is "The Ruined Monastery", James Maliszewski's tribute dungeon to EGG and the debut of the monks of St. Gaxyg the Gray. I don't believe Patrick Farley has posted his penguin PC class on the web, either. We've got new City-state of the Mad Overlord material.
Above and beyond that, we have a handful of honest-to-goodness dead-tree magazines chock-full of original gaming goodness. (By comparison, S4 - The Lost Caverns of Tsojcant, counting both the module and the supplemental material, totals 64 pages. Issues 3 and 4 of Fight On! are something near twice as thick each.) For some people, just having those resources out there, collecting the best the online community has to offer and inspiring more is worth what they cost.

Hi S'mon -
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, lulu is getting most of that money. The print issues of Fight On! make about 1 dollar each for the publisher to cover costs - it's a fanzine.
The PDF prices are artificially high on purpose because we want people to buy print instead. It turned out that that makes us a little more $ than expected, but this is also more work than expected, and the incentive is working - the vast majority of our sales are print rather than PDF.
Anyway, thanks for your interest, whether you buy or not!

Hi Calithena - I'm not accusing you of blatant profiteering. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wish it was half the pages and half the price (for the download), then I could try an issue and see if it was worth paying out for the others.
