As I said before, I mainly created A Gathering of Heroes to get a big, beautiful book! I included new material because I had some new exciting material that I wanted to present in the best-looking way, and I included older material both to make the book big enough to justify publication but also to give that material the A-star treatment. I wanted to give people the option to buy the better-looking book, but not force them to just to get the new material – which is why the book will have a low ebook price when it is officially released.
If this book goes well, I hope someday I will do something similar with the 3 supplements that currently aren’t collected (Across the Wastes, Dungeons Dark, and Tenebrous Citadel). I don’t know when (or truly even if) that will be. My question – are there people that would like to see these three supplements collected into an Adventure Compendium 2 (to match the Adventure Compendium 1 that I published?). This would contain no new material and would literally just be the three books bound together. The only real plus is having them in one book and getting a cover to match Adventure Compendium 1. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
And just for fun, and for those who might be wondering, here are the 10 Archetypes contained in A Gathering of Heroes:

Chthonian Mage
River Shark
Servant of Seth
Varakian Archer
Vampire Hunter
Scrollmaster of Melnoth
Encarnoth Delver
Wasteland Firesword
Shadow Deep Survivor or Defector
Personally i didn't buy the first compendium because i already had the PDFs and the price for the paper back doesn't justify it matching my first paperback core book. That being said, i am buying the new book because Modiphius makes some really beautiful books (I’m also into 5 Parsecs/Leagues). Im more likely to buy a new modiphius core book to match anything that’s put out through them. If it stays self published through DriveThru I’ll buy the 2nd compendium eventually. I just haven’t gotten to that point in game playing yet so i don't know any of the material. At the end of the day, i wont be picky about covers matching.
ReplyDeleteI love collections of material, better to look at and easier to keep everything together. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely yes!

Its a pity the postage from Modiphius on all their books is so high to NZ. Its almost the same as the cost of the book, so I'll have to wait and get it through Amazon or somewhere similar.
ReplyDeleteWould very much like to buy those three supplements as Compendium 2, but may run out of Rangers material soon, and if I wind up buying this series in pdf, it will be hard to justify buying it a second time later as a physical collection.
ReplyDeleteIn the future will it be translated into Spanish?

ReplyDeleteYes! Release The Adventure Compendium 2!!! More options never hurt.
ReplyDeleteScrollmasters can carry more scrolls than normal, but... scrolls cannot be created, right? I'm not sure if you could find enough of them in the missions to carry that amount (up to 18!)
ReplyDeleteJust an example of how good this expansion is, that make you re-think again your characters :D
Compendium 2 take me money please
