Black Festival by Robert Kuntz

[tfm]

Aaron asked me to post this to the Tome:

Hi Kynan,

I was wondering if you might be willing to post this on ToT or disseminate
it as you see fit? We're coming out with this on Wed/Thurs.

Thanks,
Aaron

Pied Piper Publishing and Noble Knight Games are pleased to announce the
availability of Mr. Kuntz's first published novella - Black Festival! Black
Festival is a 36 page "chapbook" available for the low price of only $9.95.
It tells the tale of the Barbarian Frank, Wolfar, who dominates this novella
of 20,000+ words along with his off-and-on companion the rogue, Thekela. It
is written in the style of Gardner Fox's and REH's Kyrik and Conan tales. It
also includes several full page interior acrylic illustrations by Eric
Bergeron.

To make the release of this product even more special and to reward our most
devoted supporters, preorders will receive one of the following:

LIMITED EDITION
This product is a 1st printing, limited edition of only 150, signed and
numbered by Mr. Robert Kuntz. Aaron Leeder, owner of Noble Knight Games, has
witnessed the signing in house here at our location in Janesville, WI. The
first 20 copies are signed in red ink with the remaining 130 signed in
black.

AUTHOR COPIES
Mr. Kuntz has also generously offered to include in the mix five AUTHOR
copies! These author copies are part of a limited edition of only 15
(fifteen), all hand signed and numbered in gold ink and featuring the
official Lord of the Green Dragons seal!! Past author copies of PPP
products have commanded over $100, each, and have never before been
generally available!

PREORDERS PLACED ON WED FEBRUARY 17TH FROM 12PM TO 12AM CST ELIGIBLE FOR
RANDOM DRAWING FOR LOWEST NUMBERS
In the past PPP products have been available first come, first served. With
this product we are trying a new way of disbursing the orders, a drawing
(held in house) will decide the lucky winners of the earliest numbered
copies and the 5 very special author copies! In order to be eligible, you
must order on the first day of preorder availability, Wednesday, February
17th, from 12pm to 12am CST. The product will then ship out Thursday,
February 18th. If you're wondering why we are doing it this way, this gives
everyone preordering an equal shot at getting the earliest most collectible
numbers, and a shot at one of the 5 author copies, and prevents one person
from gobbling up the first 5 issues at once. Also, some like to combine
other items with the purchase to minimize their shipping costs. This isn't
possible when "racing" to checkout. We will assume that everyone ordering
would like an authors copy or the earliest remaining number possible,
depending on the number they draw. All the authors copies and the lowest #'s
will be mailed out to preorders! We will notify anyone preordering of the
number(s) they will receive.

At any rate, you're guaranteed a copy of the limited edition 1st printing
and a great afternoon read!!!! :)

ORDERING MORE THEN ONE COPY
You can preorder more then 1 copy if you wish to receive additional entries,
limit 5 copies per order.
