Welcome to The Mask of Inanna Complete Audio Drama Miniseries DVD !

If you bought yourself a copy, thank you! If you received this as a gift from someone, that person must really like you because you're in for a real treat!

What you hold in your hand (or in your DVD drive) is the culmination of four years' work. An audio drama project 13+ hours in length, featuring the voice talents of over 30 actors, and winner of a prestigious Parsec Award. This show harkens back to a time when families gathered around the old radio for the latest adventure tale - much like we do today in long commutes, car trips, and evening walks with your favorite MP3 player. These shows are designed to sink their claws into you, to grip you, and to make time fly.

This page has all the details on what's on this DVD, as well as how it's organized. There's information on file formats, compatibility with different OSs and browsers, accessibility for people who are visually impaired, as well as tips on opening and reading the files if you're having problems. The page is capped off with a list of people we'd like to thank for their various contributions to The Mask of Inanna.

• PDFs may require Reader from Adobe to view them if your system doesn't have a default PDF reader (such as Preview in OSX)
• Google Chrome's® PDF document reader may not render some of the graphic-oriented PDFs correctly. You may have to open them directly as describes below:
