Just had a few questions about the first volume. First, What is the difference from the regular and artist's editions? Why is the second book cheaper than the first? And are you planning on releasing more volumes? Thanks.

1. The artist's edition has a sketch in it of your choice. The regular edition is as-is, out of the box, into the mail. Otherwise, they're exactly the same book.

2. The second volume is shorter than the first one, so our printing costs were lower and we can sell it for less.

3. We do, and Rich has started layout on book 3 already. We had a baby this past summer, so our schedule for a lot of things was pushed back a bit as we adjusted; another wrinkle is that we're running out of book 1 and are switching to our local printer for the reprint, and they have a different template for the files, so we're having to do some edits on the book one files to get them set up for the second edition.

All that to say that we're definitely releasing more volumes, and the price will be connected to the length of the books. Most will be cheaper, some future volumes may be the same price as volume one, but as far as we've planned out now (to volume 6), none will be longer/more expensive.

Is the "signed and sketched" thing for teaser no. 1 the same as artist's edition?

You mean the little 'floppy comic' "Monsters in Love"? Yes, absolutely. We can ship it 'as is' or I can sign and sketch in it first. But if you've already got "Volume 1: The First Year", then you're not getting anything new in the 'teaser'. It's the first story arc where Bob and Gren meet, fall out and make up.

Anything you want. And I'll try to accommodate. For example: I've had requests for specific characters: "Fang", "Arachne", "Chimera", etc.. And I've had more specific requests: "Charlotte in her dancer outfit from 'Turg's Saga' in the Hyeeshat".
I've had very vague requests: A hot female character.
I've had unrelated requests: The 5th Doctor as drawn in "The 10 Doctors".
And I've had very unusual requests: A lengthy description of someone's PC from their D&D game.

If I can't fulfill your request for some reason, I'll contact you.

"Glon as a slave" and "Wolf as a slave" are both surprisingly and unsurprisingly popular, respectively. ;)

This was my request for the next artist edition but I believe Rich shot it down.
It's a four part project, first a sketch of me as I lead the charge of a legion of heroes against the forces of chaos, second a sketch of me the moment after the battle as I stand victorious over the bodies of my foes with a busty babe on each arm (you will have to send me samples of various babes because I have high standards and I reserve the right of final approval of the two that will be pictured), third will be a sketch of me upon my throne as I have been made ruler of the realm after my victory, and lastly a funeral scene where after a long and glorious reign I have thousands of mourners observing my coffin being carried by six busty babes(again I reserve final approval).

Assuming you want all this in one book, it counts as 11 characters, a legion, a force, a dead hored, a realm and thousands of mourners.

As I charge per character that would come to approximately $48,066,675.00 I'll be waiting to hear from PayPal. :)
