Digital AAKW sourcebook price reduced 50%

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Artesia Sourcebook ImageNot exactly “new” news, but DriveThruRPG.com has reduced the price of the .pdf version of the Artesia: Adventures in the Known World sourcebook by a full 50% from $39.95 to $19.95 + applicable taxes. The book has been a consistent seller for DTR, so the price reduction isn’t a bad sign per se, but regardless of the reason for the price cut, if you are looking for a copy for your computer, now is the time to buy.

Archaia Studio Press seems to be slowly trickling their products onto the DriveThru—.com sites, with the additions of the trade paperbacks of Robotika and The Lone & Level Sands, as well as the trade paperbacks of the Artesia (2nd Edition), Artesia Afield, and Artesia Afire.

A couple of notes: DriveThruRPG.com requires that you register an account with an actual e-mail, and you must preference that you do not wish to receive advertising spam. Otherwise, your “security” information will be sold to other companies. Still, if you want a legal .pdf of the sourcebook, DTR is the source.

Potential purchasers of this cool-ass tome should be completely aware: the .pdf files from DriveThruRPG.com are digitally watermarked, which means that if you purposefully or accidentally make the file available to others via file-sharing torrent, or other means, YOU will be held responsible for the copyright (and other) violations. This is no joking matter.

Artesia Map Collection re-available at Cosmic Therapy

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

The sales director of Cosmic Therapy stated in an e-mail exchange that the Artesia map sets that have been impossible fMap Setor collectors to find are indeed in stock. Those who have been searching for this item will no doubt be aware that the Cosmic Therapy website has listed the map collection as ‘Temporarily Unavailable’ for months, perhaps years. Nevertheless, Artesia fans, fantasy map collectors & enthusiasts, topography-fetishists, and all others are encouraged to visit Cosmic Therapy and e-mail its main man o’ sales, Robb.

Hints of new Artesia: Adventures in the Known World content

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Today at the “official” forums for Archaia Studios Press (ASP) there was a posting by a forum member who stated that he is engaged in writing a series of AAKW adventure modules that are slated to be published by ASP sometime towards the beginning of 2008. Exciting stuff for those of us who have been waiting weeks months years for some hints of life from ASP about further product support for their amazing RPG system.

Read it yourself, you probably can’t believe it either.

As an aside, if you are an Artesia fan and you haven’t registered at the “official” forum, please take a moment to do so. The forum suffers greatly from a lack of regular traffic. Despite it’s months of unannounced absence those forums have somehow remained the best resource for discussing the system with other dedicated fans.
