Print on Demand Merchandize
We don't print stacks of t-shirts, hoodies etc in hope of someone will buy them. To avoid ending up with 'left-overs', we instead print the product ordered on demand. That means only when you order something, will it be produced. So we don't have to throw out items that didn't get sold, and thus saving our environment that problem. It does of course give us a slightly longer delivery, but as we ususally print within 48 hours, you just need to be perhaps a day faster in ordering than usual.
We also print close to you, so we save on international shipping and customs/tariffs. Our company resides in Denmark, but we get our products printed all over the globe.
Who is Encounter Depot?
Welcome to Encounter Depot Magazine. I’m Jesper, your editor,
and I’ll be your guide through the world I’m creating.
The material on www.encounterdepot.com, is created for you to drop into your existing campaign. However, it is also fleshing out my campaign world, so if you want to use that, you’ll find that maps, characters, and so forth will go together over time and fit in a greater narrative.
For those curious, here’s a little about myself. I’m a graphic designer and have owned and run 3 magazines. The first one was an early attempt at an RPG magazine called Magus. We were way too young to make it then, though. Years later, I made a magazine for students in high schools and colleges in Denmark; we made 30,000 monthly copies. The third was a magazine about all that was happening in Copenhagen (where I’m from), theater, movies, etc., distributed to 130,000 households every month at its height. So, I have real-life experience with making magazines and a love for the media.
The important stuff, of course, is that I’ve been roleplaying since 1981. I started with red box D&D and have been through all the editions. I have also had tons of fun with dozens of other RPGs, from totally niche to huge blockbusters. I’ve played Fantasy Warhammer, RoleMaster, James Bond, Twilight 2000, Star Trek, Star Wars, Mage the Ascension, Shadowrun, and much more.
Underways, I started to make maps for the stories, then became a moderator, under the handle ‘tilt,’ on Cartographers Guild, a map-making forum with 20,000+ members, learning more about the hobby. Even made maps for a Danish roleplaying game, and some books, along the way.
Lastly, I’m working on two books set in the same city. Both are fantasy, one of them Young Adult. And I’m currently finding my way into professional DM’ing, having taught D&D to many people over the years.
I love the hobby and the great people I’ve met.
And, of course, I’m still having my monthly games with my old group, all the way back when I was a kid. Doesn’t get better than that. <3
Working on this is great fun, and I hope you enjoy it.
