The Dwimmermount Codices are books of house rules used in that campaign. The dungeon and Codices can be used together or separately, and as James says are useful for just about any flavor of old-school game. You're right, we do need a better term to distinguish the dungeon from the Codices than "proper"!<br />Print versions: Autarch's experience with ACKS was that hardback was so much more popular than softcover that it made sense to focus on a traditional print run for hardback, and let people who wanted softcover get that through one of the many excellent POD services offered by the PDF sales partners. So that's our advice for Dwimmermount too, but we could be persuaded otherwise!Tavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589149850152191198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-22680955136379333162012-02-15T05:41:07.932-05:002012-02-15T05:41:07.932-05:00A question from someone who didn't follow this...A question from someone who didn't follow this whole Dwimmermount thing very closely: What's the difference between <i>Dwimmermount "Proper"</i> and the <i>Dwimmermount Codices</i>?<br />Also: Will <i>"Proper"</i> only be available in hardcover?

Sigh. And I finally...That is totally awesome news.<br /><br />Sigh. And I finally figured out what I want my translation of St. Beatus of Liebana's Commentary on the Apocalypse to look like. It needs to look like a really handsome, readable gaming book like yours, and then the 150 Revelation "storia" illustrations would fit right in.<br /><br />It will never ever happen, probably; I'm only about half done; and there's probably way too many footnotes to make it work, and I sure as heck don't know anybody to do 150 illustrations; but it would be cool. And honestly, what's more practical when you're translating one of the great illustrated books of all time? A thick squat academic hardcover, or a thin tall gaming hardcover? A boring academic PDF, or a beautiful one? Even if I have to do without illustrations, as is most likely, beauty is surely better. (And good theology, too.)<br /><br />Sigh. Graphic book designers must have the best fun in life. And translating is fun. But checking footnotes is really getting me down, so just looking at your book has cheered me up. So does the thought of Dwimmermount. I will keep it in mind as a sort of inspiration.Bansheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594214770417497135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-63528463265913008102012-02-14T21:58:33.809-05:002012-02-14T21:58:33.809-05:00This is fantastic news.

This Kickstarter project has been in planning since October, more or less, and it's often distracted me from finishing things that should have been done a while ago. With luck, we'll see the first Codex available in the next few weeks, with others to follow thereafter.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-66433449460453609522012-02-14T14:39:56.863-05:002012-02-14T14:39:56.863-05:00This is great news; congratulations James!
