Conventions are a great place to show off extremely fun and cool things. From new roleplaying game releases to sparkly dice to fantastic art—you can see a wide range of new and interesting things. And that’s one of the points of going to a convention, isn’t it? That said, sometimes something is so utterly cool that you have to share it far and wide. So that’s what we’re going to do right now. Take a look at the coolest thing at the show as presented by Open Design: the preview version of Book of Drakes. If you are at PaizoCon and haven’t had a chance to see this book, please do come over and visit us!
The image to the right shows you the cover. The gallery shows off some more of the cool elements in this book and is beyond the jump.

It was certainly my favorite thing at PaizoCon! :)
Hugo really outdid himself with the oversized preview book.
I certainly agree on how cool this book is. I’m very excited about it.
I’m intrigued … is it HC?
Yes, the preview version was oversized, leather-bound, and the title is laser-etched.
The real version will be a bit more modest, though if anyone wants to commission a collector’s edition costing $150 or more (I really don’t know) for the leather etc, I’m sure it could be arranged.
Seeing this beautiful special copy was easily the highlight of the show for me.
You should look into how much a nice leather-bound book might cost Wolfgang, it would be a nice limited release for the Midgard Campaign Setting on down the line.
This book is oversized, something around 11×14 inhes or so, almost tabloid-sized.
This was not the Open Design’s coolest thing. It was the whole conventions coolest thing. Simply gorgeous.
My favorite part of PaizoCon 2011 was everything.
I’d love to get a collector’s edition. =D
