Cup of tea, here. Those are definately some of the elements I would like to see in our upcoming Feudal Lords Campaign Setting for d20 and are working to that end. But another element besides mass combat, is acquiring land, building armies, and so forth. In the 2d6 String System, we are toying...

That is also something to consider - one of the things that I really enjoy doing as a DM is have adventures investigate something mudane then it slowly builds into something - not legendary - but a good story that, in the end, the characters might have had an impact of some sort (not necessarily...

Your exactly right - that is really why I loved the Dark Sun setting - when a character reached 15th level, you were someone not to take likely. If you were 40th level, you could indeed raise an entire nation of the dead to lead or raze a city and then reanimate them. Though I didn't mind the...

What is missing from d20? There has been little talk in the 2d6 String System forum that an effective mass combat system doesn't exist in RPGs. But, what else is missing - one thing that we at Alea Publishing Group have discussed is the silliness of the spell regenerate in 3.0/3.5. There...

I agree. D20 or other a lot of other systems do not have a solid and easy mass combat system. I thought Heroes of Battle would fill that niche, but it didn't. Other publishers have come out with a few, but prove to much bookwork for the GM before hand. With a mass combat system in place, a...

We are in development of a new RPG Game: the 2d6 String System. The game mechanics are designed by Luke Peterschmidt (Dark Age CCG, Guardians CCG, Warhammer 40K CCG). Though intially developed for a CCG and miniatures game, we are expanding this system into an RPG. While in development, we...

The core mechanic is a String. An example of this is 7-9-12. A 2d6 is rolled. A result of a 7 through 8 yields one success, a 9 through 11 yields two successes, and a 12 yields three successes. Although it is in development of exactly how a player builds or acquires strings for combat...

It will be the system only that appeared in FPG, Inc.'s Dark Age CCG - not the Dark Age World (that would be awesome, but the imagery and world is licensed by Dark-Age Games) - we are in development in expanding the system for role-play use at the moment. We are developing the RPG first then...

Alea Publishing Group is proud to announce their development of an entirely new game system that will eventually transverse all aspects of gaming: The 2d6 String System. Alea Publishing Group retained permission to use this game system mechanic from its original creators of its initial...

There is also APG Studio Companion Vol. I by Alea publishing Group for about $5.00. It contains 50 public domain images and the demo talks about what you can do with Public Domain Images. It contains mostly Arthurian themes, but can be used and manipulated to meet your needs.

HERE is a preview map detailing the lands of Cthonia (for those familiar with the Hill Lands from our Question of Honor: Guidebook to Knights - this is somewhat north of that area). Our initial product will detail the area listed one this map as well as provide maps for most of the cities and...

Well, I hate to say, that I know what (who) you mean. I really don't know what the "big" fries make near the top of the lists, but squabbling over "hobbyist" vendors is a waste of time for the money involved in producing pdfs.

Alea Publishing Group is a "small fry" at the big end of the stick and we felt that it was not the competition that concerned us (we had to work a little harder to carve out our niche and we are still carving) because we feel competition keeps our products innovative and fresh. Our concern was...

Anything and everything (knowing that won't happen). But I do beleive that "core" sets should be released - Past, Cyberscape, Apocalypse, and so on. I liked d20 past, but I definitely think it should have been bigger and hardback - too much stuff to be covered for such a little book. It...

Sure do! About once a year, around this time, I take a break from our regular fantasy campaign and one a one shot that I have written. My first work is Delirium which characters track a serial killer that is thought to have died 10 years prior. As a matter of fact, it was this adventure that...

Pimp away, my good man! I too would like to see a d20 variant on the CoC system. We want to include some hooror element in our upcoming Fuedal Lords Setting. Though I like the Sanity rules in CoC, I would like to see something more streamlined. I might would have to check out your book. I...

I agree. But should you wish to do it, I suggest giving plate armors (half-plate, full plate, etc.) damage reduction 2 against short and longbow (not crossbows though). This gives your campaign a more historical, medieval feel (despite popular belief, plate armor was useful against the bow -...

I too think this is a great idea. I have started this when developing human racial characteristics from different civilizations in my campaign as well as our company's Feudal Lords Campaign setting. Although players can say I am from "X" nation and can role-play that point effectively, a...

Alea Publishing Group has released Poor Gamer's Almanac (September 2005) for public consumption. And what is the cost of this tasty treat: NOTHING - it is absolutely free. We like to thank UKG Publishing for their contribution in writing a one shot adventure of their popular product, The...
