FIRE ON THE VELVET HORIZON | author-blog
Publisher's blurb: We didn't really understand anything about margins or layout when we made this and due to the 'artistic' nature of the text/image integration the text size is baked right into the thing. This means that many (a few anyway) people have been unable to read the text when they actually buy the book. We botched this issue for a while by handing out free Text files to anyone who.

Fire on the Velvet Horizon is a monster book, but that description seems reductive. Scrap Princess and Patrick Stuart have produced something very avante garde and truly unique. A monster book yes, but one filled with monsters you would have never dreamed up, written and illustrated by two very talented people. They are presented one per page or two page spread.
Each page was laid out by hand by Scrap Princess. The book looks like a punk rock zine. Scrap Princess would send the artwork to Patrick as it was completed, and he would describe the monster. Scrap and Patrick live on opposite sides of the globe, so I also enjoy this collaboration as an example of how the Internet is amazing.
The book is systemless. There are no stats for any of the monsters found in Fire on the Velvet Horizon. This book is adventure, at least. In some cases whole campaigns. Its scope seems bigger than a list of things fire on the velvet horizon pdf download players can hit. I do have one complaint about the book, but it is also a compliment: the layout is crazy! At least, harder than a book needs to be.
But, the layout is also part of the art. I have barely made my way into the book. Like False Machine I find it hard to read, fire on the velvet horizon pdf download, mostly because it requires and deserves your attention and I am easily distracted.
The descriptions of the monsters are dense, engaging, and interesting. The descriptions often unfold like stories, with little twists at the end, fire on the velvet horizon pdf download.
They are clearly written with an eye for how they would fit in a game. Some monsters are more bonkers than others, but they all have features that would make for fun game play.
The book is most certainly not meant as a table reference. This is a book to digest slowly. This seems like the best approach to using the book. So yeah, this book is good and you should buy it. Patrick and Scrap are making the books no one else is making. Before this post I wrote Carcosa Review Reprise.
