  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • Earthdawn Rulebook Errata
    Earthdawn Rulebook Errata The following errata apply to the hardcover edition of the Earthdawn rulebook only; they have been corrected in the softcover edition. Page 36: Step/Action Dice Table The Action Dice listed for Step 19 should be D20 + 2D6, NOT D20 + D6. Page 51: Mystic Armor The paragraph describing Mystic Armor should include the following sentence: "A character's Willpower Attribute determines his Mystic Armor Rating." Page 52: Lifting/Carrying Capacity Table The column heading for Lifting/Carrying Capacity should read, "Carrying Capacity/Lifting". The values remain the same. Page 53: Karma The paragraph describing Maximum Karma Points should read as follows: "Maximum Karma Points refers to the maximum number of Karma Points characters of each race can have at any one time." Page 71: Ork Cavalryman The Initiative Dice should be D6, NOT D8. Page 73: Dwarf Elementalist The Spellcasting Talent Step Number/Action Dice should be 9/D8 + D6, NOT 10/D10 + D6. Page 77: Human Nethermancer The Armor Rating should be 3, NOT 4. Page 119: Trick Riding Talent The Step Number should be Rank+Dexterity Step, NOT Rank+Willpower Step Page 179: Spirit Servant (Circle 4 Nethermancer Spell) The game statistics for this spell were left off the page. The statistics are as follows: Threads: 3 Weaving Difficulty: 8/20 Range: Touch Duration: 3 + Rank days Effect: Summons spirit servant Casting Difficulty: 9 RULES CLARIFICATION To clear up confusion as to how Karma is used in the game, FASA offers the following clarification. All adepts, as well as some of the more powerful creatures of Earthdawn, can tap into the world's magical energy in order to enhance their magical abilities.
