And It Won An Oscar, So It Must Be Fun
The latest announcement from Mongoose Publishing brings news of the company’s November release, Gladiator – Sands of Death. A complete D20 sourcebook for arena combat and the culture around it, the 80 page book brings lethal rules into play. In particular, watch for the Death Move feat, chariot rules, and a complete D20 game where players groom their slaves for glory or death. Methinks Ridley Scott would approve.
Plunge Into The Abyss
Green Ronin will continue to channel otherworldly energies with Armies of the Abyss, the second volume in their Book of Fiends series.

Retailing at $14.95, and with cover art by Brom, Armies is targeted for a January release.
