Friends of Melsonia subscription

Get Every Book Ever

Our subscribers are an essential part of our work to publish and support beautiful, risk-taking books and games. Since you are here, that marks you as someone who is already well-informed and engaged with the fringes of the role-playing game hobby, so I hope we can convince you to take the next step and get even more deeply involved.

When you subscribe, you will get hard-copies of all our new titles prior to general publication, all with special one-time printed covers exclusive to subscribers, and signed by the authors (where possible). In return, you ensure the survival of our press, allow us to keep funding and promoting exciting new authors and artists, and create a supportive readership. With your support, we can tell our authors that there are people out there who have already signed up to get their books, and who are waiting to read them. It tells them that what they are doing already matters, and that other people care as much as we do!

What You Get

• Hardcopies of all new physical titles with exclusive subscriber-only cover design (signed where possible)
• Your name in the acknowledgements section at the back of the book
• A 20% discount code for use in our shop and in-person for the duration of your subscription (code sent within 3 working days via email)
• Free PDFs of titles published in your subscription period
• Cheaper books!* 2024's books, for example, would have cost a UK customer £158 at retail whereas a subscription would have cost £120. An international customer would have paid around £210 versus a £180 subscription. In addition, as we get more subscribers we can publish books faster, which means a better deal for your subscription.

Additional information

Per month subscriptions costs: UK £10, EU £13, Worldwide £15. All subscriptions include postage (reflected in the increase in prices for locations outside the UK) and are subject to change. Can be cancelled at any time.

* We didn't predict 2025 being the year of everything happening, all of the time. Tariffs did a number on us and slowed everything to a crawl. BUT! Things look better now, and we survived in a large part due to the support of the Friends of Melsonia. Hopefully this year's bumper crop will make up for the delay.
