 I just saw a news article about the recent murder-suicide and I'm still a bit in shock.

I don't know if this tragedy has anyhing to do with Gleemax, but I am certain that it has been a very traumatic and disrupting event for both WOTC employees and Microsoft's X-box division. My heart goes out to everyone who has been impacted by this horrendous ( Read more... )

Their timing couldn't be better for myself and Reality Deviants, since we just released a licensed True20 version of the Colonial Gothic setting.

Written by Richard Iorio, Monica Valenrinelli, Matt McElroy, James Maliszewski and Mathew Kaiser, this 130 page True20 conversion of the popular RPG published by Rogue Games takes you deep into the heart of Colonial America and provides you with everything you need to run a supernatural campaign series during the American Revolution.

After delays caused by the unexpected selling out of True20's first print run and the subsequent production of True20 Adventure Roleplaying Revised, the Adept's Handbook is finally in print and in stores! This book was a pleasure to work on, and I learned quite a bit about the supernatural world myself while researching material for this ( Read more... )
