Topic: Loremaster Legacy Shadow World novel now available!

[Terry K. Amthor]

Anyone order Loremaster Legacy through Amazon? I see a couple of refunds and wonder why...

Perhaps they bought it from DruveThruFiction instead? I went there because it looked the better offer, with three different formats, rather than buying from Amazon UK (you don't actually have a completed More About the Author section on Amazon UK incidentally).

That's curious about the author thing on UK; I would assume when I updated it on US (which I haven't that recently), it would through all their servers.

I'm curious who has read Loremaster Legacy, as there are indeed chapters that have never been before seen, including the ending. I am working on the next book; what will come next?

I finished it a couple of days ago. I enjoyed it, but I can't compare it to what was originally on your website, because I never read any of that (by the time I had an easy way of doing so - a tablet - the book was in progress, so I waited).

Glad you enjoyed it! Please do a review at the site where you got it (Drivethru or Amazon) if you get a chance. Thanks!

I'll see if I can come up with something. I already left a rating - accidentally, before I finished the book.

After reading it, I think some short stories and novellas providing background on characters and events would be useful. I'm not sure if you plan to include anything in the series, but something about the overthrow of Kadaena and the origins of the Shadowsword could be useful.

A review for Loremaster Legacy in (from Goodreads of all places!)

(5 out of 5 stars) Terry K. Amthor brings us back to the Shadow World with a thrilling tale of Loremasters, Dragonlords, the Priests Arnak, and the succession war in Rhakhaan. Against this large tapestry, with the looming figures of the Lords of Essaence, the young Kalen Avanir, Marquess of Endar, and his cousin Jad find themselves involved as small pieces of a large game which can alter the future not only of the Shadow World but even of the Galaxy. Adventure, mysteries and a great tale that gives some glimpses of the vast Shadow World, the unknown East, and the Galactic Empire, as the story evolves. I'm expectant for the next book of this amazing series!

I'm anxious to hear more reviews as I am working on Book II. Much of the text is written but it is still in flux, so I'd like your feedback.

Congratulations on earning such a positive review. Now all I have to do is to persuade you to write a collection of Kulthean poetry to earn a review from me.

 I think the book can only be a huge plus for you, Shadow World and ICE.

Phillip, I think I can confidently say that will never happen. My few very clumsy attempts at verse have been torture to produce. The closest thing I got was this

as you may recall ;-)

On the other hand, if others would like to write some Kulthean poetry, I'm all for it!

[PhillipAEllis]

Ah yes, I recall

I'd need to immerse myself in everything Kulthea in order to make a decent enough job of it.

When does the story take place? 6050 TEI-something?
Btw, hi from (probably) the biggest collector of RM2 and Shadow World stuff ever lived in Italy.
Last buy: Powers of Light and Darkness... paperback naturally 

Ciao

Loremasters feel dread,
One million fingers grasp hold,
Unlife devours all.

If you've been putting off buying Loremaster Legacy, here's a limited-time chance to get a cool bundle of fiction and non-fiction (and if they sell enough it unlocks some secret extras):

The Bundle of Holding +5, novels take you to fantastic Japan, to the Shadow World (of Rolemaster fame), and to hidden back-streets of a supernatural city. And our writers make nonfiction just as exciting. Kenneth Hite takes a lively stroll through four dozen tales of horror in Tour de Lovecraft; in Never Unprepared, Phil Vecchione gives you some of the best gamemastering advice you've ever heard; and you'll learn the fascinating ancestry and early history of Dungeons & Dragons in Jon Peterson's acclaimed 2012 treatise Playing at the World.

For a limited time, you can get this entire collection as DRM-free ebooks in all major formats -- for a price you set yourself. You also have an opportunity to send part of your payment to worthwhile charities.

Thanks, passed along link to others.

Just curious, if Loremaster Legacy were released as a trade (large-size) paperback, perhaps with a new cover design, and (as an option) bundled with the ebook, how many would be seriously interested? I would not be cheap, pay-on-demand it might be $10.00.

[PhillipAEllis]

I'd pick up a hardcopy, even though I'm reading the Kindle edition at the mo.

$10 isn't dear here. Most full price trade paperbacks in the UK cost £7.99 (or more) - that's over $12. Admittedly, that's why I don't buy many new, full price books, but get second hand and discounted ones a lot.

Good to know. Matt Forbeck is charging $10.00 for a paperback of his Dangerous Games, and he uses the same system as me, so LL might be a dollar or so more (lots more pages), but not much. I have just heard some people still wanting a hardcopy.

[craggles]

I'll definitely buy the paperback version!
