Perhaps it should also be sold separately for download that could then be printed?<br /><br />After you have a few books in the world, it might also make a great promotional swag-thing for conventions here. Posters are relatively cheap to print, particularly the printing-paper size which are also best for distro in a freeby table. Um....<br /><br />And heck, Chris, just your description of the world makes me want to bring out my drawing pad. This is a GOOD sign.Sarah A.

As an added dimension, the greatscycthes also have a mechanism for releasing and retracting the blades while being used. They really are the elite weapon - used by a class of warriors similar to the samurai.<br /><br />Most troops opt for the standard scythe, which is a polearm weapon with a single blade.Chris McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883058490702361466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-44219900244770127852011-02-12T19:04:42.313-05:002011-02-12T19:04:42.313-05:00Chris,

The niche of the swordsmen as elite dualists is really taken by the scythemen. The elite weapon is called a greatscythe, which has two blades - one at either end. Very tricky weapons!Chris McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883058490702361466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-29071310177546968172011-02-12T18:04:06.092-05:002011-02-12T18:04:06.092-05:00Hi, Kate.

I think I might have it in pdf from the first edition of Calvanni that came out here in 2006.<br /><br />Great idea to get it included on NR. It would need to be good enough so you can see where the Delta province is - that's where Belin starts his journey to Raynor on his narsiit (winged horse).Chris McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883058490702361466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-33854058859442980502011-02-12T17:58:10.144-05:002011-02-12T17:58:10.144-05:00Thanks, Sarah.

Unfortunately You could try contacting Silver Lake Publishing - they would probably still have the artwork. <br /><br />I did a quick check on Amazon - the anthology is still selling as new as well. You can save the jpg from the Amazon listing, which will give you a better look at some of the finer details.Chris McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883058490702361466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-78064501037720388812011-02-12T15:06:18.587-05:002011-02-12T15:06:18.587-05:00That's a cool sounding world, Chris.
