Those who got wrapped up in the story of the Iron Kingdoms and the Witchfire Trilogy will love hearing this: Privateer Press plans to compile all three adventure volumes into one hardcover book, updated for D&D v3.5. The compilation will come complete with two “interludes” that connect the books, the

More Ultimate Prestige on the way
As Mongoose Publishing has informed its mailing list, the next volume in the Supplementary Rulebook line is on the way (but aren’t all third party D&D supplements “supplementary rulebooks”? Never mind…). Ultimate Prestige Classes II will pull together another 256 pages of classes from more than 45 sources, all expanded
I keep wanting to say Optimus
So the folks at Bizzaro Games are working on Odyssey Prime, which they describe as a game “of Alternative Universes and Modern Covert Operations” – kind of a militaristic take on the whole Stargate thing. Even if that doesn’t float your kontiki, D20 Modernists might want to check out the
GenCon wrap-up: Erotic Fantasy promoted heavily
Having left Wizards of the Coast, Anthony Valterra has joined in on one of the most controversial d20 ventures to date: the Book of Erotic Fantasy by the Valar Project, Inc. Drawing inspiration from the Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and pointing to the Book of Vile Darkness as proof
GenCon wrap-up: Goodman builds toward Autumn
Though their anticipated release of the Complete Guide to Beholders, co-written by Keith Baker (the WotC setting contest winner), didn’t make it to the show in time, Goodman Games has big plans. Looming on the horizon are a number of products nearing completion that will hit stores in the next
GenCon wrap-up: Dragonlance support already taking flight
When Wizards of the Coast published Call of Cthulhu d20, there was a complete failure on the part of Chaosium to cash in on their marketing by putting out supplementary releases. That hasn’t happened with WotC’s Dragonlance d20 release and the company lined-up to support it, Sovereign Press: the first
GenCon wrap-up: Where’s Johnny Depp when you need him?
Green Ronin was having a great show, having sold out of Mutants & Masterminds related products early in the convention, and having won eight ENnie Awards. However, one of the things that caught my eye at the company’s booth was the cover art for Skull & Bones, a d20 product
GenCon wrap-up: Aarrrrrr!!
Living Imagination has refined their booth display to near perfection, creating a dockside bar in the middle of the exhibit hall. Those who stopped by for a chat couldn’t find a drink, but heard the details of the company’s two newest d20 products. Pirates, a book that sports a classic
GenCon wrap-up: Warriors… come out to play-ay…
Just in time for GenCon, Skirmisher Publishing rolled out the sequel to their acclaimed d20 supplement on an NPC class, Experts. The new book, Warriors, is 126 pages of the same approach, only focused on the more combat inclined NPC class. Jumping over to the company’s website, I found even
GenCon wrap-up: Space – the revisited frontier
Darkfuries Publishing had its impressive Masterwork Maps d20 title, Inns & Taverns, in all its print-format glory. The pages were packed with extremely detailed maps for food and lodging establishments of all sizes — damn useful stuff in and of itself. Combine that with authentic, old world recipes in the
GenCon wrap-up: FFG keeps busy
Fantasy Flight Games was having brisk sales on the new A Game of Thrones boardgame. The same box size as the Lord of the Rings game, the $40 product pits 3-5 players against each other in a… um… game of… thrones… uh, yeah. Not only could gamers take control of
GenCon wrap-up: unearth those arcana
We’ve kinda known this all weekend but haven’t quite gotten around to reporting it till now: Monte’s Bizarro World Players Handbook, better known to the world as Arcana Unearthed, has been rocking it all over the competition at the show. This whole world-of-the-Diamond-Throne thing looks to have dominant traits; will
GenCon wrap-up: Fairies, monsters, and minis
Next to the drifts of Hackmaster products, which I confess to having no interest in, were a couple of new Kenzer & Company goodies. Though a repackaged Fairy Meat boxed set was a good bargain for the money ($40 for the original game, the two expansions, and all five metal
GenCon wrap-up: It’s your Stargate
The Stargate SG-1 RPG was prominently displayed at AEG‘s GenCon booth, a hefty 488-page tome that could probably stop a bullet. Powered by the Spycraft system, as opposed to the basic d20 System, Stargate SG-1 was an impressive package. The book seemed nicely laid-out, and packed with info from the
Live from GenCon: 2003 ENnie Award winners
I’ve just returned from the 2003 GenCon EN World D20 System Awards (the ENnies, for short). The awards were far better attended this year than last, and the continued partnership with GenCon has proven to have its advantages, with a projector display of nominees. Of course, that display also caused
