Here's a sampling of the latest monster illustrations from Mark Hyzer for Kaidan.

1. Tsuchinoko - a wide girthed snake monster, highly poisonous and medium sized, found all over the forested wilderness of Kaidan.

2. Hell Samurai - building my denizens from Hell (Yomi), so I needed a hellish nobleman, samurai, monk and a few others. On this monster, instead of armor it has armor-looking exoskeleton. I like the attached sword arms as well.

3. Same-bito - shark man shape-changer, warrior guardian of the Sea Dragon King, Ryu, though they can appear more human in shape, they prefer shark and hybrid shark men, like the illustration shown.

These are just some of the really cool stuff, Mark Hyzer is creating for me, I just wanted to show some of the latest stuff (I really like the Shark Man).

Enjoy!

As of an hour ago, I received the finalized manuscript from the publisher, I am now insuring it meets Pathfinder rules, double checking monster stats and seeing I need to add a magic item or two, I plan to throw in five pre-gen adventure party for the really lazy (and don't have their own standard Pathfinder adventure party), as well as "story-fy" the NPC in the addemdum. I will hit on the final layout this week.

This is only for adventure one in my Kaidan setting, called The Gift. Adventure two is scheduled to follow next month, called Dim Spirit. Adventure three the next...

Tentatively scheduled for official release on Monday, next week (not tomorrow). I will post an official release announcment in the News Forum when its finally out! This has been a long, drawn out process with some frustrations, but it really seems worth it.

Wish me luck!

Woot! Best of luck dude.

Lemme know when you have time to do something about that webpage of yours.

[Steel General]

Great news GP!

[Notsonoble]

Sounds good! How will it be available?

[Gamerprinter]

Being this is my first publication, and I'm not wealthy to start with, the initial format will be as a downloadable PDF, though I will be getting a Lulu account, so the PDFs can be ordered a printable books - though I have no idea at the final cost in printed format. The PDF as a download will be available for $7.99 from D5 website, Gamer Printshop website, RPGNow and the Paizo Store.

I will try to get the Alpha rules out soon after, and that will be a free download, until all parts are created and hopefully, that will appear in hardback form probably early next year. The Obake beastiary will be a part of that book, and its contents is scheduled for release by the Christmas season.

The final PDF for the initial adventure: The Gift is expected to be almost 70 pages in length and the longest read produced by Dementia 5 publishing so far.

When I'm a big-time publisher (?!), I'll go dead tree format for everything, but for the time being its PDF only.
