Over 8,000 Copies Sold

Since Engine Publishing released our first book in mid-2010, we’ve sold over 8,000 copies of our products. Given our modest initial sales goals, that’s one hell of a humbling figure. Many thanks to everyone who has bought a copy of one of our books!

Awards and Nominations

Masks: 1,000 Memorable NPCs for Any Roleplaying Game won a 2012 Gold ENnie Award for Best Aid/Accessory, and was nominated for Product of the Year. Gnome Stew, the blog behind the book — as Masks was written by the authors of the Stew — won Gold for Best Blog. Thank you for your support!

Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Session Prep is currently nominated for a 2013 Origins Award for Best Game-Related Publication. Our books have also been nominated for three Golden Geek Awards: Masks and Never Unprepared in 2012, Eureka in 2010.

“You may think that you already know everything there is to know about prep, but trust me reading someone else’s words on the matter can give you a new perspective on things.” — Stargazer’s World review
“Just got done looking at a preview of @gnomestew’s new book, Masks, filled with cool NPCs for any game or genre. Looks great!” — Game designer Monte Cook (via Twitter)
“Much more than a simple book of plots, Eureka! stands as one of those essential tools that GMs and game designers will find themselves reaching for again and again.” — Game designer Wolfgang Baur, Kobold Quarterly

Our PDF Guarantee

We believe that all print books should come with a digital version, and we don’t believe that you should have to pay for content twice, so Engine Publishing offers a PDF guarantee for all of our books:

If you buy an Engine Publishing book in print (new), we’ll give you the PDF for free.

All books ordered from our online store automatically come with a free copy of the PDF version, but it doesn’t end there. When you buy one of our books from a retail store, at a convention, or anywhere else that doesn’t automatically provide you with a free PDF copy, just email a photo or scan of your receipt to martin (at) enginepublishing (dot) com and we’ll send you a copy of the PDF version for free.

Our PDFs are fully bookmarked and hyperlinked, DRM-free, and come with EPUB, MOBI, and plain text versions, as well — all included for the same price, and all free when you buy one of our books in print.
