TL;DR: Yochai wrote a book. I'm producing it. It has sick art. The kickstarter goes live tomorrow. Day one backers get a free iron-on patch.
Need some convincing? We have a video!
Look at some pretty mockups to whet your need for beautiful books.
Ok, we can all make a cute cover, but this book is pretty also on the inside.
Yes, one of the dungeons is shaped like the Tree of Life. We also have a really powerful angel-summoning book detailed inside, with sigils, and powerful powerful magic requiring a heavy heavy price.
We need your help, so if you like pretty books back the project. I hate to say this, but Beyond the Pale is a pretty book, and to make it we need to pay our fancy Estonian printer and swanky Swedish paper mill. Also, and the all-Jewish team has bills to pay too (I'm the only gentile that worked on the book).
Now, let's take some time to discuss how this bad boi of a book came to be. Let's begin from the beginning.
Last spring I was doomscrolling on twitter, when I see Yochai posting memes.
I'm a basic girl as there are many and I love my esoteric/dungeon/silly intersectional memes. Also, yes, the writing and art was almost done, but there is done, and done-done.
Then I see this:
Then I look at the images and... is this the most majestic goat I've ever seen?
Yeah, it's Azazel. Yeah, it's hella majestic. Yeah, it's a goat.
Guess who slid immediately into Yochai's DMs, half-drunk, at the local trans bar karaoke night? (it might have been Lady Gaga night).
Yes, me.
So, yeah, we are doing this thing. It's a pretty pretty book with some pretty grim things inside. Not the same kind of grim as Gaub: different grim, different themes, and overall not only a horror book.
Somewhat related: we'll be at Dragonmeet! All hardcover backers that come to our table at Dragonmeet will get a small freebie (while supply last). How to find us? With the map!
For a change, this year we'll be at the Upper Trade Hall.
Should you lose the map, you can find the Lost Pages table because we have a 4.5 metres tall banner. That's 15 feet for my metrically-impaired readers: I bough by mistake an outdoors banner, and it's HUGE.
It does not even fit in selfies. In photo it might look big, but in person it looks positively stonking huge. I've been forbidden to put it up at UKGE for health and safety reasons. I'm not even kidding.
It's also black and has a giant eye, yes 🙂
Anyway, see you at Dragonmeet. And, maybe, consider helping us with making Beyond the Pale a real book?
