The Bardess’ Library #1 is out!

Ahem, so.

Earlier this year, Jason Nelson from Legendary Games asks me if I would use the stuff published in this blog and in my Patreon page as source material for a new magazine alike to The Dragon’s Hoard… only for Pathfinder… and only all by me.

It was a great step and I thought a lot about it, also because I was working on my contributions to Mediterranean Monsters and Mediterranean Races at the time. This blog is old- more than 1,100 posts now. Not every one of them is “viable”. Many would need corrections. Many of them were already used for past publications. I was not sure I would be able to write 10-12,000 words a month to keep a magazine going once the existing material was exhausted.

And then I said, oh, what the hell, I’ll do it.

So here is the first issue of my new monthly venture, The Bardess’ Library. Every issue will have a theme (the first one is Divinity) and feature both old, new and corrected material. When I will have few pieces left… well, I’ll ask for your help as contributors to make this adventure yet more exciting.

I have also changed some of my patron rewards on Patreon. Now, I’ll offer free issues of the magazine as a gift to my most generous supporters.

And as always… tomorrow there will be a piece of exclusive content on my Patreon page to celebrate… and maybe, one day, that will be put in a future issue of the magazine.

Don’t let me alone here! Spread the voice! Make this dream come true! You already did.

Love you all. Thank you.
