Shards of Stone:Core

[Loric]

Read a blurb somewhere, checked RPGNOW, and they have a copy for download, checked there webiste but there does not seem to be any further development on this setting, I know its not d20, but the setting seemed interesting enough to me to possibly warrant a conversion. Is there any other information out there besides the Core book?

thanks

As the resident Fuzion-head, and a buddy of the primary author, I can tell you something about this amazing (and rare) product.

Shards of the Stone: Core was to be the Core rulebook for a fantasy multiverse setting published by Obsidian Studios. The book's primary author is Sean Patrick Fannon, and the best-supported setting for Shards was to be his fantasy world, Shaintar. Shortly after Shards was published, Sean had a huge falling out with Obsidian's founder, Jared Nielsen. Sean divorced himself from Obsidian (loosing the rights to his own fantasy setting in the process). Jared, never a Fuzion fan, developed his own new "5-Stat" system. There's a strong rumor that Jared's no longer using the Obsidian Studios name, and he's let the obsidianstudios.com domain name lapse., http://www.shardsofthestone.com still exists but hasn't been updated in a long, long time.

If you like Fuzion and can get a copy of the book (which only had a limited special edition print run) go ahead and pick it up. However the Shards project seems to be effectively dead. Ah, well.

Sean Fannon, BTW, is now working on a couple of new and interesting projects with his new company, Action Studios (http://www.actionstudios.com).
