A Sword & Planet adventure for Warriors of the Red Planet Xthar'Drim was a rogue Jedak who defied orders and broke away from Helium to form his own city state. He took the tallest tower in the ruins of an ancient city whose name is long forgotten, but is called Kith Drangor by the locals.

He captures and enslaves others to throw into the dark pits under his tower, he uses these poor unfortunates in macabre gladiator games ..read more

After seeing the press release I went to the Wizards website to check this out an ..read more

The Vancian spell casting system of D&D is a tried and true proven system. Since the beginning there have been complaints about it, but no better system has yet been devised. Alright, that's a pretty strong stance. That's my opinion on the matter. I am still fascinated by alternate methods, and have yet to see a Spell Point system I'm fully convinced is better than classic D&D Vancian magic. Here is an idea that is perhaps one of the simplest expressions of a spell point system, it is somewhat half way between Vancian and Spell Points. You get X levels of spells to cast per day. X is ..read more

 For a little over a year now David Pulver and I have been working on a revised version of Guardians. I'm still amazed that Guardians is a Gold best seller on DriveThru. The intent was to make a supers RPG that was as close to the original edition as possible, but this obviously required a lot of new game mechanics and material that weren't in the original. So characters came out a bit like Gamma World, in that they start out with strong powers. Some have compared it to Villains & Vigilantes, a game I'm not very familiar with beyond the ads in old Dragon magazines.  At any rate ..read more
