Today’s highlighted PDF was one of those that I could have added a LOT more to and plan to expand at some point – Lifeform Maker. It is also on my list of PDFs to put into POD, but not in a rush for it. Originally planned to be much simpler and smaller, but I kept adding more and more and had to stop or would not be finished. Also, based on my other titles, the price should have been a lot higher, but my older pricing guidelines had it right on the edge of the higher bracket, so decided in the end to keep it lower rather than being greedy heh.
This is one of those products that, for me, works very well with others, such as the Concepts series, the Creature descriptions and even with NPCs and multi-genre as well.
As of today/posting this, LFM has gone on to reach GOLD on DTRPG, putting it in the top 4872 products (3.88%) on there 🙂
Lifeform Maker
“Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of the billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.”
Wernher von Braun
