04/30/08: This year we are launching two separate books for Free RPG Day. Foremost up is a streamlined version of our favorite role playing game Castles & Crusades Quick Start 2008. This book is a little lighter on the rules and includes an abridged three page adventure from Stephen Chenault Dwarven Glory II: Worm Well. This adventure, free in the print product only, will be available in in an unabridged pdf later this month. We are also doing the StarSiege Event Horizon Introductory Manual 2008. This abbreviated manual will give all the taste one needs to build up a ravenous appetite for StarSiege Event Horizon this summer! We’ve also overhauled the Gygaxian Fantasy World series webpages. There were some problems with the listings and several of the titles are sold out. Be sure to check out the updates!
WHATS NEW: Available this week is Dro Mandras: The Free West. This is the fourth installment in Casey Christofferson’s Haunted Highland series. Crusader 8 continues to dominate our attention as well, as subscribers receive their copies and it makes the rounds in retail shops.
CONVENTION NEWS: We are gearing up for LGGC IV this summer. This convention is in just over a month so be sure to get your pre-registrations in. Tim Kask contacted us last week and let us know that he would be able to come to the show again this year and enjoy some good old fashioned chariot races. You certainly don’t want to miss any of that. Also in attendance: Frank Mentzer, Tom Wham and James Ward. We haven’t made arrangements yet, but we are quite sure Frank bring piles of sweet goodies for the show.
COMING SOON: We have put a wrap on Shades of Mist and it is off to the editor this week. The encounter chart needs some tweaking but that is about it. Crusader 9 is in final layout waiting only some content from Steve Chenault. And of course the aforementioned Free RPG day material for C&C and Starsiege Event Horizon. We have some exciting news on Lejendary Rules for All Players and a great new cover look we’ll debut in the next week or so. Be sure to check back often and visit us on the boards.
04/13/08: Troll Con VI has found a home at last. We have booked a hall in Little Rock for July 18th - 20th. Be sure to hop over to the official Troll Con page and get all the latest information. Pre-registration is only $10.00!! In other news Gary Gygax’s East Mark Folio sold out of the first printing but anticipating this the new folios should be here on the 15th or 16th. For those of you waiting for them we should begin shipping them mid week. Check back soon as we are working with Josh Chewning to bring you preview material for Starsiege Event Horizon.
WHATS NEW: There’s a flurry of activity around here as we finally release Crusader Vol. 4, No. 8. It shipped to distributors and subscribers on the 11th, so for those who are expecting them, keep an eye out. This issues was delayed to allow for some fond remembrances of Gary Gygax by myself, Frank Mentzer and James Ward. Take a moment and be sure to check out the new covers for C2 Shades of Mist, DB4 Dro Mandras and Gary Gygax’s Teeth of Barkash Nour.
Also, we are releasing Engineering Dungeons and Crusader Vol. 3, No. 7 in PDF format. You can check those out at Drivethru RPG or RPGNow. They will go up on the Paizo site by the 15th.
CONVENTION NEWS: All the news and all our attention is focused on Troll Con VI right now. We hope you make it out to visit and game for awhile. The new location is very convenient for travelers, with plenty of places to eat and a fabulous movie theatre within 5 minutes. The Brothers Chenault, Mac Golden, Mark Sandy, Todd Gray, Casey Christofferson and Mike and Elizabeth Stewart will all be there. We hope you come out and join us.
COMING SOON: Work has already begun and all the articles have been turned in for Crusader Vol. 4, No. 9. We hope to have it out later in April or in early May. Also, we have made great strides on Shades of Mist and Dro Mandras. The former has at last gone to editing and the latter is being printed even now. Great strides have been made on the CKG and we are moving heaven and earth to have it out this summer. By accident some insight was gained on the C&C Basic set and some development made on that much anticipated Boxed set. And last, but certainly not least, the five manuscripts for Gary Gyagx’s Castle Zagyg Upper Works box set are being wrapped up. We are working on some preview material, but Gary was very particular on this score and we are trying to not offend his desires.
