The first piece of “leaked?” art for the second book of Amethyst (title still pending) has been released. This is a sketch and not the final work. You can find it below as well but it’s been available on Amethyst’s facebook page for several days now. Check there for more posts and sketches...

I really like this one. I think this guy really got it. World vs. Hero: Spotlight World: Amethyst Foundations

In order help ease people into the new Amethyst errata, Conan and I sat down with the document along with the FAQ an explained it all in a helpful PODCAST. We are as civilized as always. Along with answering questions, we also supply a few extra rules not offered in the errata that go into our...

Goodman Games and Dias Ex Machina are now presenting the Amethyst Errata. Although many of its points are from concerns we had late in the game’s development, the vast majority came as a result from buyer feedback. It may not be the last but we feel comfortable this covers the vast majority of...

Today marks an important day. July 9th happens to be my birthday. Also it marks the announcement of an Amethyst errata. Yes…believe or not, we have an errata. I am sure we may expand it later, but for now it is 3 pages. It includes obvious errors and modifications but it also includes...

We have two big announcements...coming. One will be the release of the next Amethyst book. The second will be the release of the Amethyst errata. I can't go into any details at the moment on either, other than the fact they are coming. I will say the errata will include clarifications and...

FRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI Sorry for the delay. So here we are, returning to our battle from two weeks ago. ROUND 3 Mike the Stalker unleashed his Grand Slam ability that attacks a target up to three times as long as the target is not bloodied on the second Skegg, hitting twice. Grayson the...

Two points today: 1) Kobold Quarterly has posted a review of Amethyst Foundations. 2) The public has demanded and we have answered. You can now download the Amethyst Character Sheet. It has editable field codes.

I will be posting the second part of our "Fridge over the River Kwai" soon but I wanted to mentioned a podcast over at The Tome Show. You can find it here... The Tome Show » Blog Archive » Tome 137: Amethyst Foundations They critique Amethyst's approach to 4E Design philosophy but they praise...

THE FRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI PART 1 Trying to control my group is a futile effort. This has never been truer than when recording a podcast. My group sat together to create yet another Techan Podcast, one which we had hoped would properly present our techan characters given the current...

There has been some talk about philosophy. Not the philosophical points mentioned in Amethyst but the design philosophy of 4th Edition D&D. There have been comments which have criticized Amethyst for not following the design philosophy of 4th Ed. What's interesting was that I had no idea we...

It can now be shouted from the rafters! The newsreaders are announcing it from their stone pedestals in front of parliament. Our heralds have the notices and are carrying them to the masses. Amethyst Foundations is now on PDF. Doesn't that look pretty? One thing you might notice as you...

So...first week of Amethyst on the shelf. How do I feel? Still paranoid. Oh well, it happens. Canadians will still need to wait a few more days before seeing it on their shelves but it shouldn't be much longer. I know I got mine. On a related topic, I have started up a facebook fanpage...

Long month for me. I've been in and out of town on business trips and vacations. I finally came back into town and found my copy of Amethyst: Foundations snuggled in my mailbox. It's bigger than I was expecting, thicker than even the Players Handbook. Have to admit, it looks pretty cool...

Amethyst Foundations has JUST squeezed into the deadline for the ENNIES. PHEW! That was close. It was tight, I will admit. I know our subtle and reserved Biohazard Zombie Apocalypse mini-module was submitted as well as our Artist Video Podcast. We are up against some stiff competition...

Even though "I" haven't gotten my copy of Amethyst 4.0 yet. Several other people have. This is real fast, since most stores don't even have their stock yet. :) One customer sent me a photo...

Two things today: 1) I can happily announce that the PDF of Amethyst will have a small difference from its print version. Just to remind, the PDF is being released AFTER the print version, not at the same time (to support local game stores). However, the PDF will be partially in color...

Taking into account the fact that your message is well structured, intelligent with a proficient in prose, I would put forth the argument that Jerry Holkins is not smarter than us. At the very least, his is an equal, but no better (with a plus or minus up to and equal to zero). I walk on...

Couple little points, all of them big. Firstly, Gnomes Stew has an article where they thoroughly cover the first four chapters of Foundations. They'll be doing a full review in a couple weeks but this is a great article about the character generation in Amethyst. Amethyst Sneak Peek: First...

Well, you don't know the specifics of our conversation regarding Borlaug so let's not go there. I have done the research as well and find his ideas still equally valid today. Either way, I will not get into that discussion here. Additionally, I also feel we've gotten off track. You are...
