The LotFP-compatible Nebulith project is coming soon.
We are laying it out as we speak.

This looks gorgeous.
I wonder why the karate master in the playtest picture looks like a bard.

Ummmmm...AMAZING!
@Randolph
Thank you, Randolph
Stay tuned

Your art here is incredible and super intriguing. I am starting a new campaign in the next month or two and don't have much of a plan yet when the PCs escape from their necropolis.
Islands are nice little self-contained locations. Nebulith looks sorta odd-shaped, ha, as you probably know if I am reading the "scientific study" correctly as a map of some sort.
@matrox
thanks!
i tried to make it good and new
It looks absolutelly stunning. What is the target format (size) of the book? Imho it eould look great as a coffee table book, something oversize to appreciate your art
@Krzysztof
Still deciding whether to go standard-LotFP size or extra big
@Zak For the sake of arts extra big might be the way to go :) Think about Helmut Newton's photobook Sumo. The largerst version was sold with its own bookstand :D
@Krzysztof
You've said that twice now, and the second time you said it with a smileyface.
My co-author and I are putting together an email chain to let people know when it is available, please email zakzsmith AT hawtmayle dawt calm if you want to be on the list
When will this be available.?.
@Ecowatcher
email zakzsmith AT hawtmayle dawt calm to be updated
hopefully it'll be avilable as PDF as well
I'm unfamiliar with the culture, it looks so cool
Re Karate master PC smacking a giant sword-tailed gecko - Oh I remember the palm heel strike you've drawn from karate back when 12 year old me was living the Go Kan Ryu life.
I hope this comes out soon.
