HotB: The Pre-Order PDF

Looks like all the downloads are messing up senduit. please continue trying!
I also sent a secondary link to the list. See if that works.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present the Houses of the Blooded pre-release PDF.

This .pdf is yours. Use it as you wish. Share it with friends if you like. The only thing I ask is that you do not post it in a public forum or make it generally available.

I want to thank you for your leap of confidence. I hope Houses of the Blooded lives up to (and exceeds) your expectations.

All you have to do is click on the link provided and begin downloading the .pdf. This is a preliminary pdf. The cover is not included. Your full download/bonus material is forthcoming.

As for the hard copy, I’m going to print next week. The printers inform me we’ll have about a 2 week turn around. The books will be in the warehouse ready to ship by then.

Again, thank you for your patronage and support. I’ve never had so much fun working on a project. I hope it shows. If you have any questions, problems or comments, please feel free to let me know.

Take care,

John W.

If you pre-ordered the book and did not receive this e-mail, comment below, e-mail me, whatever. I’ll get you the link asap.

Play Dirty: The Dirty Dungeon


This is what happens when someone calls me a rail road GM.
(PS: If you’re gonna be running D&D in the near future, you may want to pay attention to this one.)

Looking for Cover/Layout Staff for Cat 2.0

I’m currently working on a second edition of Cat: A Little Game about Little Heroes.

I am looking for a cover artist and a layout person. I would prefer someone who could handle both tasks.

The book will be 6″ x 9″, B&W interior, no bleed.

I will be paying a competitve wage (competitve indie wage) for the cover and layout. I have specific notions about layout and cover and a plan for the cover matching further WD releases.

Please send me your resume (at johnjwick at gee mail daht com) if you would like to be considered for this position.

WARNING: You will be trying to fill the shoes of the Indefatigable Daniel Solis. I have high expectations.

HotB: Done and Done

I have just finished the last edit before sending the book off to the printers and Indie Press Revolution–something I’ll be doing on Monday. Once IPR has the files, they’ll e-mail them to all the pre-orders.

That means this week, hundreds of people will be looking at my game.

I’m excited and terrified, all at once.

I’ve spent so much time on the book, I don’t have any objective viewpoint anymore. I love it dearly. I love it more than anything I’ve ever done. After all the playtesting, I’m not sick of it. After all the questions, I’m not sick of it. I think I could write about the ven forever. (I just may end up doing that.)

But I have no idea how the rest of the world will receive it. Everyone who’s played it has loved it. Everyone who’s read it has said something along the lines of, “It’s the best work you’ve ever done.” I dunno about that, but I’m damn proud of it.

A lot of people paid a lot of money for this. I hope they feel their purchase was worth it. I hope they find as much joy as I did.

I hope.
