    FREE Downloads

    We invite all to our website, Alea Publishing Group, to see our updated site. We cleaned up the site and continue to do so - taking down older free downloads (more like ancient) and replacing them with new, vibrants ones - including several new basic map tiles. Enjoy and thanks for your...

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    Hear, Hear! I own every dungeon, dragon, and even polyhydron article dedicated to Dark Sun as well as all other Dark Sun products. I also participated in the earliest Dark Sun mail groups (before forums) under Qred and had the old Red Obelisk website. When Dark Sun ceased, I was shattered...

    OGL, SRD, and Alea

    Alea Publishing Group will not be purchasing the OGL Starter Kit (unless of course there is someone out there wishing to partner with us; $5,000 sign up fee ;) ). So, that will push any hard rules 4th Edition products from us, including the Feudal Lords Campaign Setting, to January 1, 2009...

    Player's Guide Update Part V

    Well, this is the final update - and its a big one. I mean big. We are changing the name from the Player's Guide to Cthonia to Feudal Lords Playtest Guide. It is more rules oriented than fluff, but with it and Caldor: City of Crossroads, The Shew Stone Adventure, and the FREE Yrza Chronicles...

    What's the big deal about gnomes not being in the PHB? **Edited for adversarial tone*

    I find removing certain races out of player's hands gives them a bit more mystique and interesting. I ran a campaign years ago where everybody had to play humans until other races were introduced to them. I had them explore elf and dwarf ruins as they eventually got a feel for their old...

    Holiday Present - The Elf PHB entry

    I concur. I do like the fact that they aid other allies in Perception checks - it reminds me of a group blundering through the wood when the only elf in the party motions everyone to stop and listen. It gives a great benefit for having a group travel with someone of a different race. I...

    WotC's R&C in Feudal Lords?

    Generally reading through WotC's new Races and Classes - are there any ideas from this book you would like to see or integrated in the upcoming Feudal Lords Campaign (4th Edition Setting)? Or things you would not like to see?

    Dragonborn: Boobs or No Boobs?

    Evidently, you were never a very, very desperate 12 year old boy.

    Dragonborn: Boobs or No Boobs?

    MMMMM.......Boobs :p How 'bout dragonborn having six boobs, each a different color, and spouting a variety of dangerous "breath" weapons - now, that is something to take a character by surprise. Of course, I am only kidding - I think my players would leave the table if they saw a dragonborn...

    Player's Guide Update Part IV

    Well, the feats are done - all 100 of them - that is right (100 feats). Some of these are new versions of familiar feats with a little twist (characters can enhance a feat many ways by spending Blood Points) and their Hellish versions (characters, in a moment of desperation, can call on dark...

    Player's Guide Update Part III

    Finished putting together the "New Rules for Cthonia" section. Although, these rules are not new for some, they are important to the overall setting. The first is Blood Points: They act exactly like Action Points, however we have much more uses for them in a Feudal Lords setting. Since WotC...

    Player's Guide Update Part II

    The holiday was fair, thanks - can't complain though since it was a holiday. We are at the mercy of an edition change, thus somethings we wanted to do for the Feudal Lord campaign (prestige paladins, gnome changes, and the like) will wait until we see what 4th has in store. Therefore, player...

    Player's Guide Update Part II

    First of all, sorry for getting back to you this late in time - I was away on holiday (got back this evening). Now, for your question - Feudal Lords The Player's Guide to Cthonia is the last major 3.5 system book we produce. Hopefully, it allows players to get a look and feel for the world...

    EN Publishing is holding a $1.99 Sale!

    The EnWorld Ad Impressions aren't $1.99 - bummer - oh well, here's for hoping ;)

    Player's Guide Update Part II

    The character classes section is now done - the following new classes will appear in the player's guide: The Feudal Lords Cleric, the Inquisitor, and the Summoner. The Possessed might make the final cut, but we may hold out to better streamline the class. The Healer class is cut - we merged a...

    Three Tiered License

    Solid point and I agree (just avoided a giant d20 logo smashing through my ceiling).

    Three Tiered License

    This is true. I am not sure if it will affect the small .pdf market. One of these "bigger companies" might just be White Wolf and their subsidiary, DriveThru. It would be in their best interest to get a d20 license for smaller companies to continue the .pdf push. It might mean some extra...

    [APG] Any Edition - Medieval Landscapes: Peasant House is on sale!

    Thanks, it came to me as I designed the maps for the product. Cameron suggested on perhaps licensing the logo and we might do so in exchange for perhaps free products featuring the logo. On a side note, I downloaded the product you sent and will look at it when my boy naps. I am looking...

    Medieval Landscapes: Peasant House is Available!

    Thanks - we hope this strategy works since these dead months until 4th will hurt even bigger publishers - but more importantly, this is not a gimmick because it is sincere in its goal. Mood is a very important element in any setting and this is rarely translated through rules. Realistic...
