Aaron Leeder and I discussed the general ideas of what to post about this agreement, but in a follow-up inspired by our meeting, Aaron wished to add this as well:
From Aaron Leeder and Noble Knight Games: "Rob is a legend and further developing our business relationship is a no-brainer for us and hopefully for gamers in general. We're going to continue offering the limited editions and all the things that make PPP products special. Rob let me in on some of his future plans and they are exciting to say the least. Hopefully our involvement will enable more of these products to see the light of day. There is a growing movement that we call "old school renaissance" happening in the underground right now. It's important for us to not just sell these games but to shine a spotlight (torchlight?) on them and hopefully help the entire movement grow into something sustainable and creatively exciting. PPP is the flagship for this movement."
Heady, complimentary words which PPP will live up to with NKG's partnership.
And for those already inquiring: Yes. That is the original Deities and Demigods cover art rendered by Erol Otus. Aaron has owned it for many years now and I suggested we use it as a backdrop for the photos we took.

That's my favorite color A/D&D drawing. :D
ReplyDelete(My favorite black and white A/D&D drawings are Otus's Cthulhu Mythos in the Deities & Demigods Cyclopedia--Shub-Niggurath first, with Yog-Sothoth a close second.)
