Death in Freeport is a good choice. Lots of atmosphere, a little investigation, and a short but satisfying dungeon crawl near the end. It's definitely doable in a single session, if you're running for more than 4 hours. Walt

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Daniel! Hopefully you'll let me know how you liked it after a more thorough read :) Walt

Thank you, Olivia! You've hit the nail on the head. Our first penny dreadful (or "adventure" in plain gamer-speak) is a bit of an experiment to see if there is a significant market for Imperial Age adventures. It's a gamble, especially considering that the Imperial Age series casts a wide net...

Thanks! I'll have to check this out when I can pull myself out of bed (stupid flu). Walt

Quick question. I have all of the 1e Mean Streets material. Does the Enhancement pack include new material or is it an adaptation of previously released material? More specifically, is the adventure new or is it a reprint? Thanks! Walt

A self-contained version of Thrilling Tales is coming out in a few months. The old TSR Indiana Jones game might also count, depending on how you define "traditional" (it was assumed that one player would play Indy). There was another version of Indiana Jones as well, but I never owned it...

My inner English teacher is screaming "it's canon, not cannon!" LOL Firearms were part of the Forgotten Realms (1e), except that they used a different version of gunpowder. 2e had rules for gunpowder weapons (the arquebus) in the Player's Handbook, so it's an implied part of a 2e campaign...

Pirate's Guide to Freeport (2007) This one does contain the continent beyond Freeport, and one could argue that Freeport itself is a setting (you could run an entire campaign with it, given the wealth of adventure material).

Not to worry, we have big plans for 2008! I've been announcing upcoming products on the Adamant forums and the mailing list, but the following products are in the line-up: Hell Hath No Fury, a first level adventure (easily scalable) Faerie, which adds the fair folk to IA campaign Burma, an...

IIRC, Kara-Tur was originally intended to be on Oerth (which was jarring, since Greyhawk was on an eastern continent as well; GMs would have to do quite a bit of map-filling to allow the PCs to sail from Greyhawk to Kara-Tur. It would be the rough equivalent of setting a game in China, with no...

Battlefield Press has a PDF of Sherwood: the Legend of Robin Hood for d20 3.5. Walt C

You might want to check out the Medieval Player's Manual, from Green Ronin. Walt

Current thinking is that the main system will be skill-less, but a skill system will be included as an optional rule. However, as Gareth said, the system is still being ironed out. Walt

Green Ronin also has a pretty good Noble class as part of their Master Class series. Walt

Thanks for your support! We're very proud of this one. Scott did an incredible job! Walt Ciechanowski Imperial Age Line Developer Adamant Entertainment

I'm looking at it as basically three tiers: In a pulpish game, heroes are considered capable. Without a skill, a hero should be able to grab the controls and keep a plane in the air or drive it along the ground. He might be able to land the plane with professional guidance. A hero with the...

While obviously affiliated with Adamant, these thoughts, as well as any other posts in this thread, are my own and should not be taken as canonical Odyssey System information. I'd still consider Gather Information a Cha-based skill, since it's all about influencing people. M&M and True20...

IIRC, AD&D 2.5 (the "Options" series) actually had 12 ability scores. (I know, they were really the classic six divided in two, but still...good munchkin times to be had! :)) Walt

At present, there are no plans to migrate the Imperial Age line. All products currently in development use the d20 Modern rules. Walt Ciechanowski Imperial Age Line Developer Adamant Entertainment
