With managing the ENnies and searching for jobs taking up a large portion of the time for the E.N. Publishing staff this summer, we did not adequately, in my opinion, promote some of our products this summer. So this thread is a general announcement that, hey, we put out some pretty dang cool books this summer. And to make it appropriate to General as opposed to our own forum or the Publishers & Press Releases forum, I'm going to ask for help getting reviews of these products.
Products marked with asterisks are ones for which I’m seeking reviews. The more asterisks, the more I want a review. If you want to write a review, let me know and I will send you a comp copy (complete with a curse, prepared thanks to the rules in our upcoming Elements of Magic – Mythic Earth, that will cause you to lose your dice if you do not post a review like you promise, *wink*).
See below for individual product descriptions.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_5324.JPG[/imager]** E.N. Mini-Games - Tiny Terrors
The Mini-Game of Toys, Nightmares and Monsters Under The Bed
Tiny Terrors is a brand-new d20 mini-game that lets players take on the Boogeyman and other fears of childhood, fighting for innocence and childhood spirit as living toys, sworn to defend their owner against the REAL monsters under the bed.
The forces of nightmare are on the march, targetting children all over the world, lurking under beds and in dark closets, down in the basement and up in the attic, hungry for the innocence of their prey. The only thing that stands between the minions of the Boogeyman and his helpless victims are toys, righteous defenders of innocence. Action figures, construction kits, stuffed animals and even security blankets rise to answer the call to duty, taking on the Boogeyman and foiling his sinister schemes.
Tiny Terrors lets you take up the role of these stalwart defenders and join the fight. With feats like Kung-Fu Grip and Die-Cast Construction, new advanced classes like Dog Rider, Collectible and Haunted Toy, and all-new monsters and abilities, Tiny Terrors proves that small scale means big fun.

They're not Iconic. They're Ironic.
Who are the Ironics? They may be a misfit band of unlikely heroes or a misguided group of mercenaries looking to line their pockets with a bit of coin. How their tales unfold is entirely up to the players and the game master.

Rules-proofed by posters on EN World's own Rules forum, all 78 stat blocks are fully-detailed, with complete information for familiars, mounts, and animal companions.
The Ironics is the perfect tool for convention games, EN World game days, and the countless times in your home game when you need a solidly-statted character on the spur of the moment.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_5268.jpg[/imager] * BlackHammer Tech - Shape Memory Polymers
Progress Level 6+
First introduced in Japan and then the United States 1984, shape memory polymers are polymers whose qualities have been altered to give them dynamic shape "memory" properties. Using thermal stimuli, shape memory polymers can exhibit a radical change from a rigid polymer to a very elastic state, then return back to a rigid state again.
Modern variations on the classic turn-of-the-millennium shape memory polymers react to other stimuli than heat.
This short PDF presents over 20 different pieces of equipment, weaponry, armor and day-to-day items that have been made possible due to the 21st Century miracle of shape memory polymers. From knives that change form once inside the victim to new state-of-the-art skateboarding gear. But sadly, no flyless pants.

This is your stage. Get cool...
Boss Tanaka is not a man who minces his words. His deal was offered in simple, direct terms. "My man in Lombok is Tony Ashgar. Once you're through customs, get a cab to his bar, the Highlight. All the airport cabbies know it. Tony'll pay you there."
Riding in a taxicab just as Tanaka suggested, the whole thing seemed simple enough. Until that loonie came surging out of the crowd, swinging a satchel in one hand. A satchel that he released into the air, and now all you can do is watch as it arcs straight towards your open windows...
With A Bullet is a Gun-Fu adventure for 5th-level heroes. You'll need the Gun-Fu: Balletic Ballistics game in order to make perfect sense of everything in here, so go buy it now if you haven't already. It's cheap. And easy!

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_5002.jpg[/imager] ** E.N. Guilds - Monster Hunters' Guild
“Monsters are everywhere, a plague to both peasant and king alike. They battle foes in the forlorn depths of dungeons, the untamed wilderness beyond our fragile bubble of civilization, and, most insidiously, within the very cities that offer us sanctuary.
“Surcease from this dire threat often comes in the form of doughty adventurers, brave souls who, for want of renown or simply treasure, confront monstrous beasts for the benefit of civilization. Unfortunately, adventurers are often difficult to find, ill prepared, untimely, or just as likely to end up on a monster’s menu as an unskilled commoner.
“So what are those beleaguered by beasts to do? Where can one find a professional? Where are those well versed in the ecology of monsters? Those who are well studied in the obscure lore of bestial weaknesses, with the resources and skills to find and slay even the most dangerous of creatures?
“The answer is, of course, at the local Monster Hunters’ guild house.”

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4767.jpg[/imager] ** E.N. Mini-Games - Gun-Fu: Ballistic Balletics
Blam! Blam!! BLAM!!!
Gun-Fu: Balletic Ballistics is a brand-new d20 mini-game that lets players swagger through the hyper-violent, wildly stylized world of Hong Kong-style shoot-em-ups. Trenchcoats swirl and nickel-plated automatics blaze as bad guys die in truckloads. Heroes never run out of bullets (until the final showdown), bad guys get knocked down only to stagger to their feet one more time, and if you do go out, rest assured you’ll go out in a blaze of glory.
The first product in EN Publishing's new line of mini-games, Gun-Fu uses the Modern d20 rules as its starting point, but features an entirely new class system, a completely different hit point system and revamped firearms rules to create a distinctive, cinematic style of play that favours wild action over careful maneuvering. Characters have a Panache score that lets them pull off crazy stunts, but when used up leaves them vulnerable to their fatal Flaws. Players take the parts of dedicated police officers, ambitious Triad members or just folks caught up in the violence.
Take hold of Gun-Fu: Balletic Ballistics and step into the world of larger-than-life, louder-than-bombs and cooler-than-thou shoot-em-up heroics.

Bring blackpowder excitement to your d20 game, with the fifth book in the E.N. Arsenal Line - Pistols!
This book explores pistols with 21 pages of material about the weapon itself, variants thereof, and those who wield them.
E.N. Arsenal books are "crunch-intensive" - a majority of the PDF is devoted to rules-based material regarding the topic of the book; in this case, blackpowder pistols.

Monsters of the icy wastes!
The third Volume in the E.N. Critters series of Open Gaming Content Sourcebooks – Tulenjord: Land of the Fallen One. The E.N. Critters series as a whole is a set of theme-based creature books.
This volume deals with cold-themed critters - creatures living in and around a floating iceberg island caused by a dead god. The immense body of the dead god fell out of the skies and crashed into the icy waters of the northern ocean, churning up the sea bottom and freezing everything around him into an immense iceberg. The introduction of his divinity into the environment transformed a great many creatures into the forms you see presented in this tome....creatures of the air, of nearby islands, and of the sea both shallow and deep. The island of ice created around his body provides a home for these creatures, and has also attracted a number of other species in its travels.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4735.gif[/imager] * Necromancer's Legacy - Bloodlines and Paragons
The Compleat Librum ov Gar’Udok’s Necromantic Artes is the necromantic masterpiece of M. Jason Parent, co-owner of E.N. Publishing. Originally released in PDF in February of 2002, this dark tome was nominated for the Best Rules Supplement ENnie and received honourable mention for another.
But the legacy of the dark necromancer has not truly been uncovered yet. Even now, the core material of the Necromancer’s Legacy is being revised and updated to the current edition rules, and new secrets are being unearthed and added. Whispers of fell arcanists casting magics using the entrails of fallen foes now circulate around the campfires. Tales are told of giant forges brought back from the island nations and used to forge the very souls of enemies and innocents into horrific magical devices. And even now, the blood of the undead seems to flow within the veins of northlanders, with many exhibiting strange affinities and links to fell beasts such as ghouls and vampires.
Necromancer's Legacy - Bloodlines & Paragons explores five of the classic undead introducing a paragon class for each as well as Minor, Intermediate and Major bloodlines for each.
The races covered in this product are: Ghosts, Ghouls, Liches, Mummies and Vampires. Each has a fully detailed paragon class and all three levels of bloodline.

Adventuring never looked so good
From the company that brought you Bride of Portable Hole: The Book of Neurotic Fantasy, and the author who really wanted a feat called Bondage Attack in E.N. Arsenal - Whips, comes a product that brings the superficiality and vapidity of pop culture into the realm of heroic fantasy roleplaying.
The chainmail bikini is a classic image of heroic fantasy, but only now do we have the scientific understanding (and the rules) to explain how exactly it protects warrior women in battle. It's a secret that will revolutionize your gaming experience, and possibly get you dumped by your girlfriend.
(By the way, I got my ex-girlfriend to illustrate this. Just ponder who she got to model as you read the book. *wink*)

“So what are those beleaguered by beasts to do? Where can one find a professional? Where are those well versed in the ecology of monsters? Those who are well studied in the obscure lore of bestial weaknesses, with the resources and skills to find and slay even the most dangerous of creatures?
“The answer is, of course, at the local Monster Hunters’ guild house.”

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4767.jpg[/imager] ** E.N. Mini-Games - Gun-Fu: Ballistic Balletics
Blam! Blam!! BLAM!!!
Gun-Fu: Balletic Ballistics is a brand-new d20 mini-game that lets players swagger through the hyper-violent, wildly stylized world of Hong Kong-style shoot-em-ups. Trenchcoats swirl and nickel-plated automatics blaze as bad guys die in truckloads. Heroes never run out of bullets (until the final showdown), bad guys get knocked down only to stagger to their feet one more time, and if you do go out, rest assured you’ll go out in a blaze of glory.
The first product in EN Publishing's new line of mini-games, Gun-Fu uses the Modern d20 rules as its starting point, but features an entirely new class system, a completely different hit point system and revamped firearms rules to create a distinctive, cinematic style of play that favours wild action over careful maneuvering. Characters have a Panache score that lets them pull off crazy stunts, but when used up leaves them vulnerable to their fatal Flaws. Players take the parts of dedicated police officers, ambitious Triad members or just folks caught up in the violence.
Take hold of Gun-Fu: Balletic Ballistics and step into the world of larger-than-life, louder-than-bombs and cooler-than-thou shoot-em-up heroics.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4794.gif[/imager] ** E.N. Arsenal - Pistols
(I'm tempted to use the same tag-line as Gun-Fu.)
Bring blackpowder excitement to your d20 game, with the fifth book in the E.N. Arsenal Line - Pistols!
This book explores pistols with 21 pages of material about the weapon itself, variants thereof, and those who wield them.
E.N. Arsenal books are "crunch-intensive" - a majority of the PDF is devoted to rules-based material regarding the topic of the book; in this case, blackpowder pistols.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4752.jpg[/imager] * E.N. Critters - Tulenjord - Land of the Fallen One
Monsters of the icy wastes!
The third Volume in the E.N. Critters series of Open Gaming Content Sourcebooks – Tulenjord: Land of the Fallen One. The E.N. Critters series as a whole is a set of theme-based creature books.
This volume deals with cold-themed critters - creatures living in and around a floating iceberg island caused by a dead god. The immense body of the dead god fell out of the skies and crashed into the icy waters of the northern ocean, churning up the sea bottom and freezing everything around him into an immense iceberg. The introduction of his divinity into the environment transformed a great many creatures into the forms you see presented in this tome....creatures of the air, of nearby islands, and of the sea both shallow and deep. The island of ice created around his body provides a home for these creatures, and has also attracted a number of other species in its travels.

[section][imager]http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4735.gif[/imager] * Necromancer's Legacy - Bloodlines and Paragons
The Compleat Librum ov Gar’Udok’s Necromantic Artes is the necromantic masterpiece of M. Jason Parent, co-owner of E.N. Publishing. Originally released in PDF in February of 2002, this dark tome was nominated for the Best Rules Supplement ENnie and received honourable mention for another.
But the legacy of the dark necromancer has not truly been uncovered yet. Even now, the core material of the Necromancer’s Legacy is being revised and updated to the current edition rules, and new secrets are being unearthed and added. Whispers of fell arcanists casting magics using the entrails of fallen foes now circulate around the campfires. Tales are told of giant forges brought back from the island nations and used to forge the very souls of enemies and innocents into horrific magical devices. And even now, the blood of the undead seems to flow within the veins of northlanders, with many exhibiting strange affinities and links to fell beasts such as ghouls and vampires.
Necromancer's Legacy - Bloodlines & Paragons explores five of the classic undead introducing a paragon class for each as well as Minor, Intermediate and Major bloodlines for each.
The races covered in this product are: Ghosts, Ghouls, Liches, Mummies and Vampires. Each has a fully detailed paragon class and all three levels of bloodline.

[section][imager] http://www.rpgnow.com/products/product_4686.jpg [/imager] **** Chainmail Bikinis
Adventuring never looked so good
From the company that brought you Bride of Portable Hole: The Book of Neurotic Fantasy, and the author who really wanted a feat called Bondage Attack in E.N. Arsenal - Whips, comes a product that brings the superficiality and vapidity of pop culture into the realm of heroic fantasy roleplaying.
The chainmail bikini is a classic image of heroic fantasy, but only now do we have the scientific understanding (and the rules) to explain how exactly it protects warrior women in battle. It's a secret that will revolutionize your gaming experience, and possibly get you dumped by your girlfriend.
(By the way, I got my ex-girlfriend to illustrate this. Just ponder who she got to model as you read the book. *wink*)
