Fever-Dreaming Marlinko

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Visit Marlinko, a borderlands city where life takes a strange fever-dream cast, in this 72-page urban adventure fantasy supplement. Part city-setting, part full-blown adventure, Fever-Dreaming Marlinko is a stand-alone companion to the Slavic acid fantasy weirdness of the Slumbering Ursine Dunes.

What you will find inside:

  • Background and hooks for the city's “four contradas,” city quarters with their own peculiar traditions, sites and even gods.

  • Gorgeous isometric city maps by Luka Rejec. Download them for free at full-sized, high resolution here. 

  • Two complete dungeon adventure sites.

  • Two new players classes (the Mountebank and Robodwarf).

  • Chaos Index with escalating events/triggers scattered throughout the city.

  • News generator with full news briefs and hooks.

  • Tiger-wrestling mini-game.

  • Weird nickname generator.

  • Section on running scams, hoaxes and grifting activity in a fantasy campaign.

  • Carousing system tied into the contrada system.

  • A“fair play/pay” guild system for hirelings.

What Others Are Saying:

“If a wealthy NPC owning an "all-weather tiger pit" appeals to you, and you generally like your games to be loud and chaotic, Fever-Dreaming Marlinko is a must-have...Even the Labyrinth Lord/DM possessing no desire to run a game in Marlinko specifically, will unearth ample ideas portable to any town or city.”

Corey Ryan Walden

"[T]his is really a model of what a good urban supplement should look like, and many of the tricks it uses to create [an] evocative and interactive setting are worthy of emulation in any campaign."

- Gus L.

"[I]t’s one of the best city supplements every produced, if not the best...Everything in this contributes to the fun. Everything is a hook. Everything is interactive...A perfect home base for your party."

- Bryce Lynch

"Fever-Dreaming Marlinko's strong points are the clever and evocative writing, and the abundance of gaming-oriented material. The book explicitly tells you that rather than focusing on shopping lists and dull descriptions of shops, it's going to focus on the interesting bits, and it does a great job of this. You come out of it with a clear idea of what Marlinko is like as a city, and what parts to focus on."

- John Bell

Print available anywhere else like amazon.ca or Lulu? I'd buy your stuff from either of those sources.

Hi Chris,

Roughly, when do you expect the PoD option to be available again?

In the next few days. There was an issue with the interior file that we are trying to correct (now we are just waiting for the thumbs up from the printer).

Could you make a combined print book of this with Slumbering Ursine Dunes? I'd rather buy a 140 page book than two 70 page booklets.

Thanks for your interest!

We're intending to put out a Hill Cantons Complete-ish hardcover (or possibly boxed set) once all of the Kickstarter goals have been met (including two more modules, Misty Isles of the Eld and What Ho! Frog Demons), but that is several months out.

However, we will be doing a print/pdf bundle next month, which will allow you to pick up both in the interim.

Any news regarding ETA on such a Hill Cantons Complete-ish Hardcover? I would personally prefer a complete hardcover POD option right here at DriveThru over a boxed set, because i expect a boxed set won't go through POD?

Realistically, it is still a ways out. Misty Isles of the Eld and What Ho, Frog Demons are both still in development, so they will need to be put to bed before we can seriously begin work on Complete-ish. We have yet to determine what form it will ultimately take, but we appreciate your input. As for a boxed set, OBS is not equipped to offer them, so by necessity it would be available only through ordering directly from us.

Will buying the pdf grant a discount from POD later or am I better off waiting?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
