I seem to recall as most of the "superhuman" things that took place were on Crematoria (or whatever that planet's name was). I just assumed that it had slightly lower than normal gravity, which would account for a lot of it.

The Charon's origin is detailed in the D6 supplement Endgame, the final installment in the Darkstryder Campaign series. I'm struggling to remember this, as it's been a long time, but in essence the Charon were originally created as one of many servitor races of some ancient, brilliant creator...

My obssessive need for detail will surely one day lead to madness. Until then, I've compiled a short list of what we know about the mechamorphs listed in the book. This is all wildly subjective, but maybe it will help some fledgling GM out there. This is all taken from the various bits of...

I picked this one up at Origins and it is absolutely fantastic. Easily the best book I picked up at the 'Con, rivaled perhaps only by Blackwyrm Games' The Algernon Files (also excellent). I understand space is at a premium in these Horizon books, but I hope that we can see a web enhancement...

Spellslinger is one of the most exciting game books I've purchased in quite some time. I can't wait to run it. I bought it because I thought the idea seemed cool, but more to the point, Kevin Wilson wrote it. That guy just can't miss.

I teach in elementary school, and the "Code Red" that you are describing sees wide use (and has for years) in its more pedestrian form as a lock-down. These drills started in response to the frequency of people showing up in public schools with guns. They really took off after the Columbine...

Great to see all these responses! There is definately interest among the writing team in producing an LBS supplement, but there's some question as to how well such a product would be recieved. Thus far, there's been no decision made. As I said in a previous message, there is another Shadowlands...

Hello! The post-Secrets release schedule is currently being determined. For now, Crab and Crane are in the pipe, we turn in text on Unicorn in a few weeks, and we have Secrets of the Dragon and Secrets of the Shadowlands following that. After that.... you'll just have to wait and see. I will...

Hello there! I'd like to think that we've managed to demonstrate both systems have their merits, but naturally folks are going to prefer one over the other, and that's just fine. From a purely personal perspective, I prefer d10. I am, in fact, "the d10 guy" on the writing team. That being...

From what I have seen, there isn't much demand for a monk sourcebook. It just doesn't seem high up on most people's "gotta have one of those" list. Granted, I telecommute, so I have no idea what they think of such an idea in the office. But I've not heard anything about one being planned...

The order FCWeasel supplied is correct. Phoenx just hit the shelves, Scorpion is (I believe) at the printer or at least hovering somewhere above it in a holding pattern, and Crab just finished up edits. Crane is about to start edits. In addition to all that information you probably didn't...

Just to cap off this thread, I'd be very interested in seeing what you think of Secrets of the Lion once you nab a copy. It's the first in a new series, and I'm eager to see how the format is received. Shawn Carman L5R Story Team Alderac Entertainment Group

Psion writes: "Personally, I consider to find SFA and the one workd books a value, not so much for Rokugan." I hope that's because you don't need the Rokugan-style material and not because you don't like the writing. :) Jaws writes: "I posted here to get a reply from AEG to prove that I...

Nightfall writes: "Very good Shawn! Certainly you gain an additional XP bonus for telling me how I might use this in a Scarred Lands campaign." Know your audience, I always say. "And do tell me more about Good. I'm interested in seeing both sides of the story." I came on to the Good scene...

Nightfall writes: "Alright then Shawn, do me a favor then. Give me a good reason to buy Magic." First of all, I did not work on Magic. The only book I've worked on in the "Topic" line is the upcoming Good. So my perspective on Magic is limited to the brief glance I got at a friend's copy a...

As I understand it, the possibility of an LBS supplement for L5R has been considered, but the final decision has not been made. There's plenty of time, of course, because we have to finish the Secrets series first, and that will put us probably in early 2004 before anything else sneaks out in...

Hello there. The next release is indeed Secrets of the Lion, which will be followed by Secrets of the Mantis, Secrets of the Phoenix (both in the can and coming along nicely), and Secrets of the Scorpion (which we're writing right now). The last information I had, and please keep in mind that...

Dave Lepore is AEG's customer service rep. If he doesn't have the information you need, he'll either get it or put you in touch with the person who has it. His email is dlepore@alderac.com And for Furn_Darkside: the "Rokugan crew", as you put it, is pretty keen on doing an LBS book already...
