I am sorry, I didn't get the mail yesterday - but I got the one you just sent, and you should already have access to the PDF!
 
Can I ask, do you have to have prior knowledge of the setting that this is all taken from? Or are these totally stand alone scenarios that can be run with no prior knowledge whatsoever?

it's bugging me, and I won't buy it if I need prior knowledge....(I bought Historia Rodentia and while I still want to run it sometime the absolute massive amount of background in there really puts me off for the time being as I'm uber busy with various things).

Based on what I have seen so far, the setting material is included in the book, including cults and races. This could easily be placed in a home brew setting or indeed in Conan's Hyboria.

I hope that helps but I have only begun to scratch the surface of this 170 page book.
 
This is true; a lot of setting specifics are organic to the adventures rather than presented in large slabs of prose. Some things, I suspect, are left deliberately vague, "for the GM", but Thurian parallels can certainly be drawn in practically all cases.

However, the xoth.net blog and forums should help with more background. A bit of new interest might even prompt some updates.
 
I am still waiting for reply to the two emails I sent about my preorder (first sent 10 days ago). I am starting to think that the emails haven't gotten through to him at all.

Hopefully he sees this post and we can resolve the issue since I can't wait to get my grubby hands on this. :P

Check *your* junkmail folder - Matt replied to my last email pretty quickly but it had filter as spam.

I've brought this to Matt's attention.

It's an original setting with a good amount of background material provided. The adventures are written to be independent of each other but may also be chained together in a campaign. That said it is inspired by the fiction of - Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Fritz Leiber, Michael Moorcock, and Charles R. Saunders (as the author himself says); I would add that there's definitely a flavour of Lovecraft in there as well. So if these authors don't mean anything to your players it might be difficult for them to get the setting - but there is no explicit setting that Spider God's Bride is drawing from, it's an original world and there's no pre-existing fiction or material that you need to know about to play in it.

I'm glad to see that the Imaro novels of Charles Saunders are finally getting some love. I haven't read the Dossouye books yet, but I've heard good things about them. It's a pity they're not available in ebook format anywhere, but only in dead tree format :(
