  • 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.

  • Mutants & Masterminds
    SOURCEBOOK GRR2011e LUCIEN SOULBAN · GREEN RONIN PUBLISHING SOURCEBOOK A refitted VTOL Carnival Air-freighter lumbers through the air like an overfed bumblebee, sluggish and heavy on the noise. You sit onboard, waiting to land. Not since the Atlanta Boys Convoy of 1934, when the government loaded 52 hardened criminals into a train and shipped them out to “inaugurate” Alcatraz Island, has secrecy and security been this heavy. For Super-Con Air, however, this is business as usual. The Carnival is the workhorse of convict transports; she can normally carry 23 passengers along with 22 tons of cargo, but following the refit, she’s hefting two additional power plants and space for 10 powered felons… eight awake and two asleep. Awake, you sit in reinforced cage called “The Egg,” because that’s what it looks like. The Egg suppresses active power fields and locks you down in sensory deprivation for the trip. It’s a blackout of your senses, designed to keep you off- balance when they finally transfer you out. Asleep, the Department of Justice deems you too powerful to risk handling. You’re probably a Type IV or V, and that makes folks nervous enough to crank you out in a hotsleep coffin. You won’t wake up until you’re imbedded 200 meters deep inside “the Mountain.” You feel like you’ve been in the dark for years before someone nudges your Egg. That’s just the VTOL setting down on the landing pad. A few minutes later, there’s motion again. They’ve disconnected your Egg from its suspension struts aboard the Carnival, and they’re wheeling you down the jet’s back ramp.

  • The Dragons' Return
    Nithogar stared at the giant in silence, without the twitch of a draconic muscle. Eventually, he spoke. “The ancient pacts made be- tween your people and my own lord Erixalimar, the dragon king, forbade you from even coming to this land. Yet here you stand.” “We came here,” Re-Magul said, “because this land was in peril. A peril you had wrought, then fled from.” The muscles around Nithogar’s wide mouth twitched. “Oh yes,” the giant continued. “Perhaps you thought that such lore had been lost, but I know who you are, Nithogar the Wicked. Nithogar the Hated. Nithogar the Despoiler.” “These are epithets I must have earned after I left.” “Then how about this one, dragon: Nithogar, creator of the dramojh.” Out of habit, Re-Magul spat as he said “dramojh.” Nithogar flexed his wings. “You know nothing of it, Hu-Charad.” “Nothing?” Re-Magul’s eyes flared. “You are ancient, it is true, but I am no mere youth. I was there when the stone ships arrived on these shores. I remember the battles with the dramojh—the so-called ‘dragon scions.’ I saw friends and relatives die in their claws and teeth. They scuttled out of the shadows and raped this land like nothing before them or—thank all the singers in the Houses of the Eternal—since.” “So your kind dealt with the dramojh. I am aware of that,” the dragon said. “And you were some kind of leader in your campaign against them. What do you want from me? Gratitude? So be it. Thanks to you, giant, and to all your kind.” And with a sneer, he added quickly: “Now be on your way.” Sample file PROUDLY PRESENTS MONTE COOK’S ARCANA EVOLVED A variant player’s handbook written by one of the designers of 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons®.

At the center of this are the conflicts you've been thinking about. For example, the plot can be defined as an action that will unfold no matter what the players do. These events will help players delve into history and take them to the heart of the story. An example of intrigue can be something like the murder of an important NSPCC, like a queen or a duke. Natural disasters are often used as a plot of conflict. They can also be associated with magical disturbances, such as the intervention of a dark wizard to create an even more interesting plot. Another issue that can help you is predicting the consequences of all players' actions, including the most unlikely. For example, if the player does not choose to complete the search, the kingdom can go after the hero by tracking him as a criminal [6]! 2 Draw the battlefield. This can range from a destroyed temple to an underground cave, anything is possible. Your drawing should not be a work of art, but using it as a reference will help coordinate the actions of players at the beginning of the fight Simple shapes and labels work perfectly when you make a battlefield. You can use squares to make boxes, green triangles for trees and, for example, rock circles, so you don't have to be an artist! Drawing on the battlefield can take some time.

We offer a wide variety of food but we also offer lots of activities to do. Along with miniature golf, we’ve got one of the best 129 gaming systems around. JULY 2005/ I noticed your X-Box wall. AUGUST 2005 We’ve got multiple fl at-screen X-Box systems, arcade games, and the ability to project the games on the outside of the dome, resulting in a unique gaming experience! We also have astronomy lectures and even a puppet show for the little ones. We realize our customers’ interests are varied so we try to have something for just about everyone. The proposed complex has educational features. How important is that to the overall design of the Pegasus? It’s very important. We want to offer a place to challenge kids’ creativity. Kids need to be able to “think outside the box” and not get bogged down in just learning how to do a certain kind of academic test. We want to help expand their imagination, so yes, the concept of education is very important to us. Have you had contact with Sci-Fi fans?

  • Children of the Rune
    “No one, in truth, knows for sure where the power of the rune comes from . .” Hvanen said. “Some speculate that it has to do with the ancient dragons that left the realm for the west. Some think it comes from the gods. Or that the land itself has a level of awareness and intelli- gence all its own. Since we do not even understand the power’s origins, certainly no one knows for sure why runes appear on the flesh of some but not others.” He glanced at Rand, who stared back intently, not attempting to conceal his eagerness to hear more of such secrets. “I suspect,” the verrik continued, “that the runes are tied to the very nature of the land itself. The power of the runechildren is the might of the land made manifest. Those who find themselves so marked are those who would use the power on behalf of the land. Somehow, the runes seem to know who should have them, and who should not. It is far less a reward than a responsibility.” “A burden, then?” asked Rand. “That is not the word I choose.” “A manifestation of destiny?” “More a manifestation of power,” said Hvanen. “A bequeathal of the right abilities on the right person at the right time. .” Sample file PROUDLY PRESENTS MONTE COOK’S ARCANA UNEARTHED A variant player’s handbook written by one of the designers of 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons®.
