My mind says: me likey! Claudio are you personally going to be at Gen Con? This is yet another item on my "must purchase" list. Fantastic job! -Thrommel

Winner! There were many excellent entries and the Council of Magisters would like to thank everyone who put their time, talent, and effort into this contest. We're proud to announce we've chosen an entry by Chris Cumming to serve as the masthead for diamondthrone.com. Chris has won an...

Hey everybody, today is the final day to enter! I know half the office is on vacation, and the other half is browsing the Strong Bad e-mail archives, so why not fire up that copy of Paint Shop Pro and try to win a FREE copy of AU? Let's be honest -- it's the most productive thing you're going...

Great stuff Claudio, I love your work! It's clean enough to read on a counter on the battlemat, but it still has a very evocative style. Nice! Regarding the races, the red-skinned guy is a Verrik, the reptilian is a Mojh and I believe the minotaur fellow is a Chorrim (one of AU's "heavies"). We...

Maybe it isn't clear from the original post, but this is for the AU fan site we're launching. No one is getting paid anything for this -- from the people who run the site (the Council) to the people who submit articles (one guy already has an incredibly detailed AU campaign setting written up)...

Varianor, did I just hear you mention we're giving away a FREE copy of AU?!? I thought I did. -Thrommel, shameless bumper.

Hmmm... let me put it this way: You can play the ka-boom sorceror type, but you have to make a choice to be the ka-boom sorceror type. It's not just an automatic "duh, I take magic missile, fly, and fireball" kind of deal like it is in 3.0 (for SOME people anyhow). I would say that generally...

Nope, you hit it right on the head. You can get a more verbose description of AU spellcasting right here. The magic mechanics are really simple to understand but the way the different aspects combine together makes for a very rich, flexible system. -Thrommel

I think people are really going to be impressed with the magic system, but I understand the 'wait-and-see' attitude. I think there are two audiences for AU. There are those who want to shake up their game and inject some discovery and wonder back into their gaming. AU does a terrific job of...

I'm sorry that I can't answer a specific question about AU and OGC. Frankly, I just don't know the answer to that and would hate to get raked over the coals later for giving out wrong information now. My point behind posting was simply to clear up some misconceptions about the book, that's all...

Monte has indicated that a lot of AU is going to be OGC. Unfortunately, I can't go into specific detail beyond that. However, you can expect to hear more from Monte on this very subject soon. I know he plans to do something a little new with the open nature of AU, but I honestly don't know the...

Seems like there's been some confusion out there as to the role of Arcana Unearthed in the RPG landscape. So to clarify things a bit, I put together a little meta-FAQ along with the other guys on the Council of Magisters. Is AU supposed to 'fix' 3E? Is it Monte's answer to 3.5? Arcana Unearthed...

It's your site too. I just would like to chip in here that one of our goals with the Council of Magisters is "by the fans, for the fans". Sure, right now the Council will be generating a lot of content so we can help educate people as to what AU is all about. But once the book is out and...
