RPG Print News – Free League, Pacesetter, and More

Dungeons & Dragons has plenty of support this week. Adventures, maps, and miniatures painted or primed including an ice troll and snow golems to celebrate snow in April in the USA. My current favorite RPG, The One Ring 2nd Edition, gets two types of dice (one for Gandalf and one for Sauron) with special symbols on some faces, a screen, and a magical elven city with new rule options. There are cards for use in any fantasy RPG that include magic items, a running race, and more; and Shadowrun 6th Edition gets dice and tokens.

Note: RPG Print News covers new RPG releases and some classics, reprints, and sales available from retailers. It does not cover products that are only available to customers through kickstarter or as print on demand.

The Lost Triptych | Path of the Vanished by Pacesetter Games

• DESCRIPTION: The Lost Triptych is a campaign for characters of levels 8-12. Minions of a rival deity have stolen a sacred artifact of one of the PC’s order and brought the holy device to the Mountain of Whispers, the stomping grounds of evil sycophants and zealot soldiers. The precious artifact has been broken into separate pieces and hidden in secret locations. No doubt, the high priest Miltotok is preparing the rituals and spells to make the device a vessel for evil at this very moment. Path of the Vanished is designed for characters levels 1-10. Purple-sailed ships terrorize the coasts ruthlessly and horrifically. Entire villages disappear in a single night; no survivors or corpses have been recovered and no prisoners have been recovered from dark markets. To defeat the raiders, the PCs must follow the path of the vanished.

The description says it might be in the Mwangi Expanse book.

Those Pathfinder snow golems are super creepy . . . . they look more like poop golems! Ew. Sorry.

Thank you for being polite at my complete lack of basic reading skills.

Your reading skills are fine! Your question makes sense to me. I actually meant the description on Miniature Market. I didn't point it out specifically anywhere other than the title on EN World because the monster has been around for years in both D&D and Pathfinder so really can be used with a variety of systems.

This is one of those situations where paint jobs make a big difference. Turns out the difference between snow and poop isn't in the texture of the model, but the paint (it's a problem for all amorphous 3D figures, not just these golems).

My bigger concern: Someone had to add human-like teeth to these golems!
