Technical difficulties - please stand by We're having major difficulties with Blogger right now, so posts will be slow in coming. After way too much effort, this post is finally showing up. We'll keep you informed, as we're frantically working on an alternative method of posting. Thanks for coming by. We'll have news and other new stuff shortly.
Goings-on at Goodman Games Goodman Games has posted detailed previews of its February releases, Complete Guide to Treants and Dungeon Crawl Classics #1: Idylls of the Rat King, both due to hit stores in February 2003. In Treants, you'll "learn about the dark side of treants: fury, hatred, revenge, and the charred, undead creatures left behind when a treant burns." Well, that and other things, like Treants as a PC race (great dungeon crawlers, I'm sure), new classes, feats, spells and other fun stuff. The 48-page supplement will retail for $13. As for Idylls of the Rat King, the adventure will kick off Goodman's Dungeon Crawl Classics line, embracing a similar credo to that of Necromancer Games by returning to good, solid, nasty dungeon crawls. The goblins of Idylls will offer plenty of challenge for character levels 1-3. As if that weren't enough, the company's site has a web enhancement for the Complete Guide to Drow which details House Azran, "a drow house with deep roots and shallow standing." The same freebies page has three rules expansions for the recently released Complete Guide to Doppelgangers. Then there's also the ENWorld Player's Journal which will be out in March, and Goodman Games is coordinating/publishing that as well. Obviously, a full plate is what the company has in mind.
Mongoose to produce Conan and Lone Wolf RPGs This morning, Matthew Sprange sent out the following announcement on the Mongoose Publishing email list: Mongoose Publishing is proud to announce the acquisition of the Conan licence, to be released in January 2004 (I said it was for the future!). We have the entire vista of Conan and his world at our disposal for this game, including novels, films and comics, so it is going to be a real cracker. I really cannot say too much about the game at this time, as it really is in the very earliest stages of development, but I heard a rumour that Ian Sturrock, the gentleman responsible for the Slaine RPG, will be the principle designer behind Conan.So, to reiterate: Mongoose will be bringing us the Lone Wolf RPG in the fall of 2003, Conan in January 2004, and an unspecified project in May of next year.
Terra Primate ships... then climbs Empire State building Eden Studios has announced the Terra Primate RPG has arrived from the printer and is shipping to distributors and preorders now. The 256-page hardcover will bring all aspects of intelligent apes to gamers, the same way Eden's All Flesh Must Be Eaten explored the various themes zombies work well in. If you're in the Northampton, MA region this weekend, head over to The Space-Crime Continuum for the December 7th release party, and meet George Vasilakos himself, as well as other Eden folks. Whether you make it to the release party or not, at a very fair $30, you'd have to be bananas to skip this game. Oooh... did I say that?
