Achaea has released a .pdf manual and a .pdf appendix containing most of its official mythology and world history. You can find them Just be warned, they're large. The manual is around 204 pages and the histories around 150.

Looking good matt!

We're also working on similar things, special handbooks and companions for our game, so I know that much effort has been put into designing your manual. It is indeed tedious work putting together a 200 pages manual. Nice work.

Players have been asking for it for years. We just finally got around to doing it.

Actually, we're considering having it published too so that people could order a hardbound copy from Amazon or whatnot. Only problem is that it will change often due to frequent additions/updates to Achaea and I'm unsure what the useful lifespan of said published manual would be. (In this case, we'd be paying the publisher to publish it and would probably have to pay again for each new edition.)

You may want to consider a vanity press like . They print copies of your book when they're ordered, so it would be easier to just upload a new book on demand.

Ahh, neat service. The vanity publishers I've looked at previously wanted to lay out the book for you in every case, so frequent updates weren't an option. Looks like Xlibris lets you take templates and stick your info in there, which could be done frequently. Thanks!
