The other "major" one would be that the Dutch East India Company still controls New Netherland, which comprises modern-day New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut (although that is disputed by the English Connecticut Colony) and parts of Maryland and Massachusetts. This splits the English...

Actually, the Egyptian god Bes is depicted as a (hairless) dwarf. He's even considered a defender. Walt

Thank you, Rich! It means a lot to me to hear that you've gotten so much use out of it! Walt P.S. I don't want to threadjack with my resume, but my published pdf work so far has been through Adamant Entertainment (I am also the Line Developer of their Imperial Age line).

Thank you! Walt

As the author, I hope you enjoy it! Walt

It should also go without saying that you need to get a good cheesesteak (Pat's, Geno's, Jim's, and Tony Luke's are the big ones, but there are others...to tell the truth, it's difficult to get a bad cheesesteak at any competent steak shop). You also need to get a soft pretzel, preferably from a...

If you have a car, there's a great bookstore in Claymont, Delaware that has an excellent RPG section. http://www.betweenbooks.com/ It's about a half hour drive from Center City (it's only about 15 minutes from the Airport). I'm pretty sure SEPTA has a train that stops in Claymont as well. Walt

Welcome aboard! There are indeed plans to make an IA omnibus, tentatively set for Fall 2008. We're currently discussing whether it will be a collection (like the TT Omnibus) an all-in-one OGL version, or an Odyssey System version. Keep in mind that, whatever form it takes, the IA Omnibus will...

Just to clarify, FISTICUFFS & SWORDPLAY is not covered under either subscription (2007 or 2008. Since the product was released before we decided to do a 2008 subscription, we figured it would be less confusing to leave it out. Walt Ciechanowski Imperial Age Line Developer Adamant Entertainment

In addition to previously mentioned upcoming products, Adamant Entertainment is proud to announce "Fantastic Races" to its 2008 line-up. "Fantastic Races" brings the fantasy races you all know and love into the Imperial Age. Utilizing a toolkit approach, "Fantastic Races" will enable you to...

Now that we have more clarification on the upcoming GSL, I'm pleased to announce that the Imperial Age will continue! This month should see the release of Fisticuffs & Swordplay, a collection of advanced classes specializing in close combat. The next few months should see the release of Burma...

You've nailed it. When we decided to combine feats, talents, and class features into one list, it was much easier to classify them under a new term. "Edge" fit the bill. Walt

Yes. I'd run three successful WitchCraft campaigns using their system (Unisystem). However, when I began a fourth campaign I decided to use the Mutants & Masterminds system to open up some more options and take advantage of ready-made archetypes. It's worked out surprisingly well. Walt

Hello, I just thought I'd add for the benefit of those that find OS's skill system too free-form that there is an optional rule for incorporating skill lists (either ported from another d20 system or one of your own creation). Walt

And therin lies the rub :) I could justify it, too, but that would bloat out the product. What I DON'T want is a significant number of customers to pick up a copy and say "No energy resistance tree? Crap, now I need to have both books anyway." Maybe I need to start a design thread on the...

Stop reading my mind! :) Seriously, there've been bits and pieces of other open game content, in addition to little bits and pieces of my own, that are certainly worthy of consideration. There are also some things within the SRD that I think should hit the cutting room floor (I'm having a hard...

This was brought up elsewhere so I thought I'd bring it up here. While an "OGL Imperial Age" would incorporate the Modern SRD, I may take the opportunity to tweak the rules a bit for smoother play. This would be more along the lines of "incorporate spot and listen into a generic "notice skill"...

We've looked at True 20 and we're doing a Mutants & Masterminds version of the Imperial Age (geared towards playing Victorian superheroes). However, if we were to move to another version of d20, it would likely be the Odyssey System (which we've initially developed for Thrilling Tales 2e). At...

Thanks for the responses so far! I've appreciated them all. Keep them coming! I just wanted to take a moment to comment on a few things: First, by "standalone OGL," I do mean "using the d20 Modern SRD." At this time, I don't want to convert the Imperial Age to a new ruleset because we still...

I've posted this elsewhere, but I thought I might solicit opinions here as well. Adamant Entertainment has been discussing the possibility of creating an Imperial Age "omnibus" that would also be available for print. Initially, we considered giving the Imperial Age the same treatment given to...
