How Do I Download My Purchases?
When you purchase a digital product, you are sent a download link via email. The link expires 24 hours after purchase. If you click on an expired link in your email, you’ll be sent a new link to the email address used for the initial purchase.
Why won't you release X or Y?
Raging Swan is my baby. Not only is it my way of saving up to buy my own island (I'm not quite there yet), but it is also my "clever" way of gaming for a living, and I want to enjoy my work. Thus, the litmus test for all our products is, "Would I include this in my campaign?" And “would it improve my game?” If the answer is "no", we don't publish it.
I'm a huge fan of "Core only" gaming—I believe the Pathfinder Core Rulebook along with the Bestiary, for example, have enough options to keep a group going for years. That's why Raging Swan Press doesn't publish books filled with—for example—new feats, classes, spells and so on. I don't believe my game needs them, and I’m not going to spend my time designing and developing such products. If that's the kind of thing you are after, there are many other publishers who'll be only too glad to sell you a metaphorical ton of books.
Why don’t you use the Oxford comma?
I don’t particularly dislike the Oxford comma, but I’m based in the UK, and we don’t use it over here—which is bizarre given we “invented” it (given its name). During my freelance writing career, I wrote exclusively for US-based gaming companies and was forced on pain of re-drafting to use the Oxford comma. Now I wreak my terrible vengeance on the gaming community by wilfully excluding it (and by using English UK spelling).
