It looks like a fun setting to run my step-son through. See more this clearly looks like a work of passion and I'd love to be able to support it. But at 291 colour pages, that's just too much toner (and eye-strain) even at grayscale. If this were a small book, I might be able to over-look it. Colour illustration 'plates' are fine (they're gorgeous in fact) and I wouldn't want that altered. Plus I always print out my PDFs so I won't spring for toner-hogs like this unless there is a clean b&w print version available. Its one reason why I have not and never will buy anything from mainstream publishers like Paizo, WotC, etc. unless a clean B&W printer friendly version is made available?Ĭoloured/textured backgrounds and fonts in my books and PDFs drive me up the wall. Check out Venger's old school gaming blog for details on how to order your very own luxury hardcover of Cha'alt and soon Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise.īased upon first impressions of the full-sized preview and reviews of the publisher elsewhere, it looks interesting enough and right now because of the daily-deal I'm tempted to purchase it. Want to check out the follow-up book? It's called Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise, available here: I spared no expense making Cha'alt fantastic - this world is alive and spilling over with possibilities.Ĭha'alt should give you years of solid, non-standardized gaming. Gold ENnie winner Glynn Seal of MonkeyBlood Design went above and beyond his usual fantastic job. The interior is gorgeous full-color art, layout, cartography and Lovecraftian aesthetics. It's a wild ride, perfect for those players seeking something a little bit different, but also recognizable. The world is gonzo, eldritch, science-fantasy, and post-apocalyptic. The rules-language is fairly neutral, and my priority was helping the Game Master at the table. I've included my own Crimson Dragon Slayer D20 as an appendix, but you can use any of the hundred RPG systems available to run Cha'alt as your own. Full disclosure: aside from advantage/disadvantage and bounded accuracy, there isn't much in the way of 5th edition mechanics. There's a decent amount of setting detail besides dungeoncrawling - space opera bar, domed city, mutants, weird ass elves, desert pirates, a city ruled by a gargantuan purple demon-worm, and much more!Ĭha'alt is compatible with both old school and 5e D&D purposefully blended for maximum usability. Unique design, purpose, feel, magic items, NPCs, monsters, factions, motives, agendas, strangeness, the works! The Black Pyramid is like nothing you've ever seen before. It's a ruined world focusing on a couple of introductory dungeons before getting to the main event - the megadungeon known as The Black Pyramid. Best Rifts/Gamma World setting ever." ~ Bryce Lynch of Ten Foot PoleĬha'alt is the beast of a book (218 pages) I've been working on for the past year.
