Massive Product Update

Life is a desperate attempt to make order out of chaos, or so we tell ourselves here at GR HQ. We thought it was about time for a massive update on our assorted projects, so here we go.

Arcana: Societies of Magic: This should be going to the printer next week. If the printer gods are with us, it should hit at the end of November.

D20 System Character Folio: This baby flew out of the warehouse so fast we already have to reprint. We decided, however, to make the reprint even better. Check out our snazzy new cover, courtesy of the talented Kyle Anderson (click the image to expand). The insides are also getting an upgrade, to make the folio even more user friendly. The reference charts are moving to the inside cover for starters, to make more room for handy features.

Freeport: The City of Adventure: Here's where we fess up about Freeport being late. Right now it's looking like a late January or February release, due the restraints of hardback printing and the holiday season. We could rush it out early, but we really want this book to sing. Freeport put us on the map and we want to be good to the first name in fantasy cities. We hope you bear with us. We promise the wait will be worth it.

Armies of the Abyss: We are still aiming for a January release for Armies,
which ironically may put it out before Freeport. You simply can't hold back hordes of demons, so we aren't even going to try! We have lined up some killer artistic talent for Armies, to ensure a worthy sequel to Legions of Hell. Joining Legions alumni Sam Wood, Raven Mimura, and Toren Atkinson are Brian Despain, Tom Baxa, and Drew Baker. Can you say evil? We knew you could.

Spaceship Zero: SSZ is in editing right now. We'll have more news for you on a concrete release date soon.

Oh yeah... Happy Halloween!

Terror in Review

DevA chAOs oF [ed.: ???] has posted a review of Terror in Freeport on d20reviews.com, giving it 5 out of 5 stars. "If you like intrigues, Terror in Freeport is a must-have."

You can also read DevA's review of Death in Freeport while you're there. "It just runs smoothly from beginning to end, the detective part is designed to lead players to success without leading them them 'by the nose', it's fun to play and offers a decent plot which is the perfect starting ground for something bigger..."

Stop it--we're blushing!

Yet Another Experiment Gone Horribly Wrong?

Or maybe someone's Photoshop license just needs to be revoked. In reality, as much as we like Halloween, we haven't created a three-eyed flesh golem. But we did just post some pictures of the three Green Ronin prize winners from this year's LG ReCon 2, courtesy of creativemountain.net.
