It was published in 1997 by TSR. It was branded as a TSR product because that's when it was initially developed. Wizards of the Coast bought TSR in 1997 as well. That means all the players handbooks at GM guide, and a handful of products still were made under the TSR tenure.

Alternity should have done better. It's a shame it didn't.

Ryan Dancey had a great letter re: the WotC purchase of TSR. If there were pallets of books, not specifically mentioned, but I would wager Alternity was part of that. TSR was a hot mess. Also, this is a great read! https://www.rpgpub.com/threads/ryan-danceys-letter-on-the-death-of-tsr.1304/

Totally a YA novel, which is totally fine. If it's not, then the cover failed.

Hopefully this is the first of many third party BRP related releases.

But I want dangerous peasants!!! :)

Confirming crits was the worst rule idea. It's anticlimactic and usually robs a character of their moment.
