Here it is... in all its warty, unwashed, typo-riddled glory: Secret Santicore 2011! 104 pages of generous creativity for your game, and it's all totally free. Not a cent.
BUT... if you do end up using some of the material herein, take the one minute out of your day to shoot an email over to the guy who wrote the article and let him know how it played out. He'll get a kick out of it, guaranteed.
I know I will. And that's worth something.

To all the Squid-hugging Ink-hoarders: yes, I know it's full color, and yes I know it will chew through your inks in no time. But fear not; in a couple of weeks, when I get back from holiday in the Land of Poison and Fire, I'll go through the doc and do a black and white version. Just for you.
To all the Type-O Nazis: you're gonna have fun with this one; the turnaround was just far too tight to get proofreaders to go properly through it, but rest assured, once I'm back I'll get them all fixed up. If you do feel like proofreading, lemme know.
Lastly special thanks is due to the following people for general asskickingness:
Zak for saying go for it, when I said I think I could.
The contributors: for being a great bunch a guys. It was a pleasure.
The artists: Cover artist Peter Seckler (where's your portfolio Pete?), Stuart Robertson and especially Jeremy Duncan, for producing such excellent art in such ridiculous timeframes.
S.John Ross for the generous use of his fonts.
The Emergency Elf support crew: Dylan Atkinson, Mike Evans, Erik Jensen, Iain Jones, Jeff Rients, Stuart Robertson, Peter Seckler, S.L. Shirley, and Telecanter for stepping in when help was needed. Seriously couldn't have done it without you.
And extra extra super special gratitude and love to Vanessa, for covering my ass and letting me run wild with the opportunity. I'm so glad I married you and not me.
Well she's done, she's dusted. Sun's coming up. Time for a beer.

Thank you for putting this together. The art is excellent, and the production values are higher than many professionally produced products. Thanks also to Adam Watts who wrote the included Strongholds in the Wilderness entry based on my request.

ReplyDeleteThat's so great! Thank you to all who participated. Especially Jez and the artists.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet and I already love it. These kinds of mass labors of love created by people who mostly don't know each other are one of my favorite things about the internet.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading it :)

That is one helluva great thing you folks have done. Thank you very much for sharing such brilliant and mad ideas, so beautifully presented.

ReplyDelete"P.S. Lady-gamers, where the hell were you?"

ReplyDeleteHas a print-friendly version shown up anywhere?
ReplyDelete@ faoladh - not yet, but soon. back from hols and in the middle of updating the current colour version with typos, new art and a coupla extra goodies; once that's done the printer friendly version is next.
ReplyDeleteI would also be happy if there were a Lulu version, so that I could order my print copy and have it bound more easily. (*cough*hint*cough*)
DeleteThis is a great project. Just wanted to let you know that I used "Down and Out in Gothmagogg" in Old School Hack.
ReplyDeleteThe converted adventure is here, along with the plug for Secret Santicore and a play report.

This may be a bit of a necropost, but does anyone have a current link for the 2011 download? I'm afraid I discovered this awesomeness a bit too late and the Dropbox link no longer works.
ReplyDeleteI just tested the link, it takes a minute or two to download but apart from that was all fine from here.
ReplyDeletehttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/33463820/Secret%20Santicore%202011.pdf
is the link again, if it doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can email it directly.
Awesome, thank you very much
ReplyDeleteThis still available somewhere? Link is dead.
