The extra payments on some sites

If you've visited our pages at KoFi: https://ko-fi.com/nomadicdeliriumpress or at itch.io: https://nomadicdelirium.itch.io/, you may have noticed that it's possible to pay more than the regular cover price. So what happens to that money if you decide to pay extra? Well, we keep part of it, but the rest goes to the creators based on the royalties we're paying. Right now, we generally pay 40% of the sale price in royalties to the author, so if you pay an extra dollar, they make an extra 40 cents. It's not much, but to them, and to us, every penny helps!

Fiction on itch.io

We've begun to post our fiction on itch.io, where we already have our RPGs listed. We've started with our most recent novels and collections, and we're working backwards. It will probably take us a while to list everything, but you can find these titles at https://nomadicdelirium.itch.io/

Delirious Dice Issue 1

Welcome to the first issue of Delirious Dice. This zine will be published biannually by Nomadic Delirium Press, and it will feature information for our four games: Ephemeris 2.0, The Divided States of America, Rocks on the Other Side, and The Battle for Turtle Island.

Each issue will feature a variety of things. You might find new weapons, skills, creatures, sub-classes, or anything else that might add to your current game play. We might even publish some short adventures or even some fiction. It will all depend on what we come up with. You might even get sneak peaks of some of the titles we’re working on. At the end of the zine, you’ll find guidelines in case you might be interested in submitting ideas or articles for future issues.

This zine will be divided into sections based on each game, and in some issues, one game might have a lot more material than another, but there will always be information that can be used in each of the games.

As if things weren't bad enough

People are worried about the economy, and as a result book sales are down, not just for us, but for most publishers. As if this wasn't bad enough, now our printer has announced that they will be decreasing the payments we receive on certain titles because of rising costs. For now, our plan is to keep most of our books at the same price, and eat the loss. We may increase a few book prices, but only by a few cents as we research other printing options. We don't want to pass these increases on to our readers, so we will do everything we can to keep our books as inexpensive as possible.

Our games are available on itch.io

The core rulebooks for all of our RPGs are now available at itch.io. You can download them at https://nomadicdelirium.itch.io/

You can download The Divided States of America, Ephemeris 2.0, Rocks on the Other Side, and The Battle for Turtle Island: Buffalo Wars.

Our magazines are still on sale

All of our old magazines are still on sale at DriveThruFiction: https://www.drivethrufiction.com/saleguide.php?src=sgrc

You can get a feel for what we used to publish, and get an idea for what we're going to start publishing again as we get ready to resume publishing The Fifth Di... and The Martian Wave.

A review of Do You Really Want to be a Writer?

A new review of Do You Really Want to be a Writer? by J Alan Erwine has been posted at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1503357

"Written in an informal, chatty, style this short book by experienced writer and editor J Alan Erwine gives sound advice for the beginner."-we corrected the spelling errors...

Laura Givens

Laura Givens, an artist who did numerous covers for us has passed away. It's been a couple of weeks since her passing, but we just learned about it. Laura was a wonderful artist, a brilliant writer, and a great friend.

We had the good fortune of publishing her short story collection Crisis Averted many years ago, and we were certainly hoping to publish more in the future.

The world has lost a great artist and author, but even more so, the world has lost a great person. Please do us a favor, and visit her website at http://www.lauragivens-artist.com/. She deserves so much more recognition than she got during her life. She was truly a great person!
