It Will Be Here, It Will Cost 0$, And Then It Will Be Gone Forever




The hardcover, full-color, 8.5x11", 400-page Compendium is now available. Until Jan 1. Then it's gone. And it costs 0$.


Fifteen years in the making, it includes:

-All of the illustrated Cube World material--fully re-designed to be easier to read, cross-referenced, with notes, including adventures in Voivodja, The Southern Daimyos, The Peacock Isles, Drownesia, Nephilidia and more.

-Dozens of pages of unpublished new material.

-The entire aborted Violence In the Nympharium scenario--re-laid out, redrawn, and deluxified

-An entire illustrated megadungeon--with dozens of levels--which my players have been in and out of for the last 2 years. Designed to be the be-all-end-all dungeon of its kind, with every kind of cool dungeon monster and environment represented in its dozens of levels.

-New completely crawlable maps of the chivalrous continent of Broceliande. Likewise--my players have been in and out of here for the last 2 years.

-Tools and tables to use all of this stuff.

That is--it basically has all the material for my campaign that isn't in another published book, everything in all the Cube World pdfs, and more.

Email me if you want it: zakzsmith AT hawtmayle dawt calm.

Also: The Cube World pdfs are no longer available (aside from the unillustrated utility ones like Book of Jerks)--all that material is now only available in the illustrated Compendium.

None of this will be on sale after January 1st.

And all you pirates--this will not be available as a pdf. It's available in this hardcover only.

Cube World PDFs Gone Forever kind of fits the theme of this ass of a year.
But on the other hand, a hardcover Cube World book is really awesome.

That is awesome Zak. I would like a copy, and though there may be a variety of reasons why the Compendium is $0, that book you see here is priceless. Cube World installments are thoroughly hackable scenarios over a playable sandbox at a level of detail and instruction not seen for a long time. A long time.

So much work went into that book. It would be an honor to have one. Just think of all the people that will piss off :)

DM_Angelo said...

Amazing - I would love a copy of this - What can I do to help?

Zak Sabbath said...

@DM_Angelo

If you email me: zakzsmith AT hawtmayle dawt calm, all will be explained

I am so looking forward to this! It will be a bright spot in the new year, in a year that's not likely to have a ton of bright spots.

This looks amazing

Tim Hall said...

I really liked your previous work, so this will be a welcome addition to my shelf

remial said...

the only thing I could be more hyped for is a hardcopy of I am the Weapon

Zak Sabbath said...

If you want "I Am The Weapon" then the task is similar: Fans need to help get these fucking online psychos out of my life.

This is such an amazing project!

The Ancient One said...

Love this project!

SpicyHekBoi said...

I admire the hell out of this project!

If by joining the drone swarm we can help get things straight for you and get rid of the lunatics, this is the least we can do. Happy to join the effort.

The Moog said...

I have a difficult time with reading PDFs, so to have this in print is really incredible. It will it along side all of Zaks other books that i have!

Riquez said...

Ahh the Turtle-back island! Im already excited to run that. Will it submerge? Will it throw you off & swim away! Will it come back & swallow you whole you scurvy scum!? Yes cap'n, it will & more besides!

Sword Devil said...

Kind of wild that no one has ever made anything like this before and no one will ever make anything like it again and it's being given away for free

I cannot be imagining having such a beautiful book. I am starting of a new campaign next year and am using already so much of Zak's material for inspiration. This will be amazing.

cosmonauta said...

This book will be in the RPG legends of the future.

Alerad said...

Sounds great, I'm in! I only have one CubeWorld, if all 60+ are in this book it's priceless!

zoline73 said...

This book looks great, I am a sucker for cool campaign books. Maybe someday I'll actually run a campaign 😅 In the meantime it would be great to go through.

DisposableHorses said...

Book is great for the art alone, add in the campaign ideas and its a no brainer.

DVAR said...

I totally agree. Since i started checking out Cube Worlds PDF I was waiting it to be published - now it will be shrouded on the mystique of guerrilla marketing available only to the few patient and willing lol
