A few more out the door!

We've managed to sneak a few more releases into January. This has really been a busy month for Melior Via!

For those who just want to purchase, all of these products are available through DriveThruRPG.

Patchwork

Patchwork is a novella set in the world of Accursed. The story opens when Martin van Schattierung awakens within a mass grave, as grave robbers disturb his rest. The flesh golem is confused by his existence as an Accursed and shocked to learn that the Bane War ended fifty years ago. He must work to uncover his past at the same time as he attempts to find his way in a world so different from the one he remembers.
About the Author
Mel Odom is an author of well over a hundred novels in a broad range of genres. This includes works based upon the Shadowrun, Forgotten Realms, and Top Secret role-playing game settings, as well as licensed fiction in the worlds of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Diablo, and NCIS. In addition to writing, he teaches at the University of Oklahoma.
$4.99 in both .epub and .mobi (Kindle) format from DriveThruRPG.

Universal Space Combat Maps


We've added two more maps, featuring the Orion Nebula and Starburst Galaxy, to our range of space combat maps. Each of these provides a different background, generated from satellite imagery, to play a space combat miniatures game. Printing and assembling all 42 pages creates a contiguous map large enough to cover a table of up to 72" x 48". If your play space is a little bit smaller, it's easy to just print and assemble a smaller version.


Using Adobe Acrobat Layers, the maps may be printed with 1" hexes, 1.5" hexes, or 2" squares, making it useful for a variety of scales and rule systems.

Each are just $1.99 in PDF from DriveThruRPG.

We've also created a bundle of all 4 of our Space Combat Maps for just $6.00

A Flurry of Releases

We've just had an exceptionally busy week for releases, which is leading to perhaps our most productive month of releases in Melior Via's history. They even encompass a pretty broad range of products. We couldn't have done it without the help of our great collaborators, our Kickstarter backers, and our customers. So thank you for your interest and support! We've already discussed the different print options available for Accursed. So, let's dive into the newer products:

The Festival at Glenelg


The Festival at Glenelg is a novella set in the world of Accursed. It tells the story of Erik Nygaard, a bard who also happens to be a Dhampir. When the festival he is attending is joined by a contingent of cauldron-born in service to the Morrigan, Erik must decide if he should flee on his own or attempt to battle the banes and perhaps redeem his soul.

Penned by Richard Lee Byers, who is the author of over thirty fantasy and horror novels, including a number set in the Forgotten Realms universe. A resident of the Tampa Bay area, the setting for many of his horror stories, he spends much of his free time fencing and playing poker.

$4.99 in both epub and mobi format from DriveThruRPG. Also available from the Amazon Kindle store.

Universal Space Combat Battlemap: The Whirlpool Galaxy

If you're playing a space combat miniatures game, you need a surface to track your movement. This PDF presents a printable map, with a background generated from satellite imagery. Printing and assembling all 42 pages creates a contiguous map large enough to cover a table of up to 72" x 48". If your play space is a little bit smaller, it's easy to just print and assemble a smaller version.

It may be printed with 1" hexes, 1.5" hexes, or 2" squares, making it useful for a variety of scales and rule systems.
