  • 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.

  • Tome and Blood More Options for Mages and Sorcerers (V0.4) Overview Tome and Blood Is a Mod That Revises and Expands the Class Options for Mages and Sorcerers
    Tome and Blood More Options for Mages and Sorcerers (v0.4) Overview Tome and Blood is a mod that revises and expands the class options for Mages and Sorcerers. This mod began as the Sorcerous Bloodlines kitpack, which took advantage of the added functionality of the Enhanced Editions to add eight new Bloodline Sorcerer kits. This mod has since grown, and now not only makes changes to all existing Mage and Sorcerer kits, items and spells, but also adds dozens of new kits, item crafting, armored casting and other features. Compatibility The current version of Tome and Blood (v0.4) is designed to work with any of the released Enhanced Editions (BG:EE, BG2:EE, IWD:EE). Many features of this mod rely heavily on the functionality added in the Enhanced Editions, and thus there are no plans to extend compatibility to the original games. This mod is written in a way to minimize compatibility issues with other mods. Despite this, there will inevitably be compatibility issues. Suspected or known compatibility issues are listed below. Core Revisions (and by extension, this entire mod) will probably be incompatible with any mod that modifies the original Mage, Specialist Mage, Sorcerer or Dragon Disciple kits. In addition, Crossbows or Clubs added by any mod after installation of this one will not be usable by Mages or Sorcerers. Spell Select through Dialogue will be incompatible with any other mod that adds or changes Sorcerer kits. Armored Casting might have strange interactions with other mods that allow arcane spellcasting while wearing armor. In addition, armor added by other mods after this mod will not work properly.

  • Dragon Writers' Guidelines
    DRAGON WRITERS’ GUIDELINES THE GROUND RULES With few exceptions, submitting an article to DRAGON requires these important steps: 1. Review these guidelines. 2. Send a query. Send an outline if it’s requested. 3. Submit the manuscript if approved. 4. Wait patiently. The Guidelines The Writers’ Guidelines outline what we expect as far as format and style, but they also give specific advice about how to write certain kinds of articles. Before sending any query, review these guidelines for information about what we’re looking to see and on how to write the kind of articles you’ll propose in your query. Forearmed with such knowledge, your queries and articles have a much greater chance of being accepted. These guidelines do not address one of the most important subjects any writer should know: the proper way to prepare and submit a manuscript for possible publication. You can check out any number of resources for manuscript preparation, but we don’t care much about specific format except for two things: Your manuscript must be easy to read, and it must follow D&D style. Note that all rules articles should be written for the current edition of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game. See Writing for DRAGON for more details. The Query Query us with an email to [email protected] before you submit an article manuscript; that way, we can tell you which articles we’re most likely to accept. Please send queries in the body of your email and not as an attachment. We do not accept unsolicited articles. We recommend you list a few possible article ideas with each query.
