That is pretty cool and I haven't even gotten around to buying it yet. Maybe it will continue to be a high seller for a while, then. Obviously I know where it spawned from (I do read the patron forums much more often than I post) but I'm not sure or something; Is it officially a Kaidan supplement, or tied to Kaidan? Do you get and cut or credit (outside of cover design) from it?

Either way, thumbsupdoubleplusgood.

It technically falls outside the patronage, though is still tied to Kaidan (at least by logo on the front cover). Its certainly usable outside of Kaidan, as it is a PC monster race and class book for Pathfinder. However, Kappa are an encounter in the first adventure of the Curse of the Golden Spear: Part 1 - The Gift, with duplication of stats from the book for CR appropriate encounter.

Plus as an early release, as will be all the supplementary material for Kaidan will be released before, during and after the release of the Curse of the Golden Spear adventure arc - its a great promotional vehicle for all Kaidan products, keeping it in the forefront of industry exposure.

The 3 race books and the 3 soon-to-be published classes by caste books are all directly tied to Kaidan, yet are still usable outside of Kaidan. So, yes, they are a Kaidan supplement.

And just for clarification, although Kaidan is an imprint under Rite Publishing, I am the sole owner of Kaidan, I just split profits with Rite Publishing - and I get art costs paid, and writer royalties paid from Rite Publishing's half of the profit. I get professional assistance, and get paid in profits from sales. Its a win-win situation for me.

I get 1/3 profits from all Kaidan product sales. Rite Publishing gets a third, and the distributor whether OBS, Cubicle 7, or other platform gets a third.

I just wasn't sure if it was part of the Kaidan line for you or not. Sounds like they did give you a pretty good deal, then. The stuff will sell better since it says Rite Publishing, too. Apparently they're pretty well respected. I thought the head of the company didn't seem to be the most together sort of guy but I guess he attracts good people to make stuff for him.

I'll be getting the PDF before too long. I'll just have to remember my log in info for one of the sites it's on. I'm usually an e23 man.

Just bought it off of RPGNow. I really like the bit on the back cover that says, "And let us not forget, not only did we
break the first bone, but we afterward showed the man how to set it."

It turns out you CAN gift PDFs on there. I thought so.
