Assuming it gets reached at all, the "break even" point on this endeavor is months away, much less profit.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607464045429311026.post-90238812304006546612017-04-26T08:07:59.771-07:002017-04-26T08:07:59.771-07:00I don't really worry about price point for goo...I don't really worry about price point for good stuff, especially if it has a lot of art, and I know Trey and Hydra pay their artists a fair rate. Of course I also live in a town where $8 avocado toast is becoming the norm. <br /><br />I agree that the Prismatic Peak is a perfect ASE fit - being the tower of a mad megalomaniac wizard. ASE is still one of my favorites as well - I almost did a one page dungeon for it this year instead of the turtle boat.

It was very well-done for what it is. I intend to import it into the ASE dungeon.Gnarley Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942095647867654862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607464045429311026.post-47309295529794591982017-04-19T20:54:33.155-07:002017-04-19T20:54:33.155-07:00The sensibility is similar, and the inside art is ...The sensibility is similar, and the inside art is also there - Tex Avery + Wizard of Oz with a focus on interactions with strange characters.<br /><br />I should also mention there are silly but classic magic items - an imp bottle (with loony toons style devil inside) that will give advice for freedom but be grudging and impish if forced to servitude, and a wizards hat that is malignant and eats heads. Classic gags (both cartoon and D&D), and illustrated with the proper style.<br /><br />Generally Trey's stuff is pretty darn good - there's plenty of samples of his writing at Sorcerer's Skull along with a bit in the Hydra sampler which is free on RPGNow I think. <br /><br />Gus Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872819206286105195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607464045429311026.post-61513973926717586462017-04-19T19:47:21.506-07:002017-04-19T19:47:21.506-07:00I know nothing about this product other than what ...I know nothing about this product other than what you wrote, but I think I can definitively state that is the single most enjoyable product cover that I may have ever seen.
