FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GREEN RONIN TO PUBLISH TESTAMENT CAMPAIGN SETTING
Biblical Era to Come to Life for d20 Fans
January 16, 2003—SEATTLE, WA: This April Green Ronin delves into the past with Testament: Roleplaying in the Biblical Era. Part history, part mythology, Testament is the d20 System campaign setting that's both instantly familiar and yet unlike any game world you have ever experienced.
“I conceived this product as an alternative to the current crop of fantasy worlds,” says Green Ronin President Chris Pramas. “Really, how many more vaguely Tolkien-esque fantasy settings do we need?”
Veteran RPG and computer game designer Scott Bennie (Fallout, Starfleet Command) authored Testament, bringing his extensive experience to bear on a truly epic project. Artist Sam Wood, best known for his work on the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, provided the gripping cover painting and will contribute interior art as well.
“Whatever your religious beliefs,” adds Pramas, “you can’t deny that the Bible is full of great stories. Game books make use of real world mythology all the time, but shy away from embracing the most important myth cycle of the Western world. Testament brings the Biblical Era to life, letting you experience the wonders and dangers of the ancient world.”
Testament is part of Mythic Vistas, Green Ronin's new line of campaign settings. Mythic Vistas includes historical, legendary, and fictional settings suitable for d20 campaign play. Skull & Bones, due out this March, is the first Mythic Vistas release.

The world of the Bible comes to life in this campaign setting for the d20 System. Play a wandering Babylonian magus, a sorcerer in the service of Pharaoh, a Canaanite maker of idols, or a prophet of the God of Israel. Walk the streets of ancient Jerusalem, stand beside King David as one of his Mighty Men, smite Philistines, ponder the mysteries of gargantuan tombs, look upon the dwellings of the gods, and battle demons, dragons, plagues, and the legendary beasts of Babylon. Testament gives you everything you need to immerse yourself in the Biblical Era, including a dozen new classes, over 30 new monsters, over 50 new feats, and over 100 new spells; rules for barter, curses, piety, and for running mass combat in a mythic age; and guidelines for leading a small tribe through the hazards of the Bronze and Iron Age world. Part history, part mythology, Testament is the d20 System setting that's both instantly familiar and yet unlike any game world you have ever experienced. Now you can be a part of the greatest story ever told!
Green Ronin Publishing is a d20 System pioneer. Its adventure Death in Freeport was released on the same day as the 3E Player’s Handbook and went on to win the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Adventure of 2000. Since then Green Ronin has led the pack of d20 companies, with acclaimed products such as Legions of Hell and the Book of the Righteous, and blazed the OGL trail with its hit superhero RPG Mutants & Masterminds.
