I started the Amethyst Pathfinder edition, dubbed Renaissance two weeks ago. It is still in the alpha phase, but progress has been extremely rapid. Not even two weeks into production and Renaissance is now passed 188 pages. Races, lifepaths, classes, skills, and feats are ALL done. After...

On Sunday, October 18th, I was interviewed by the boys of Gamer's Haven. Fans will remember I was interviewed by them before, back in 2010, after the release of Amethyst Foundations. They had praised the final product with some caveats dealing with issues later addressed with the errata or...

As some of you've figured out by reading Amethyst's facebook page or reading the articles on LivingDice.com, we recently made a relatively big announcement. Ultramodern4, our universal 4th Edition science fiction / modern game system will be offered as an OGL. Anyone can download the bare...

Of the 25 Limited Edition Amethyst Evolution books I received, 10 have already been taken. That leaves only 15 (wait….carry the 5….yeah, that's right) for those people interested. The other news to report is that the Amethyst Pathfinder edition, known as Amethyst: Renaissance has officially...

DEM has recently acquired a handful of Amethyst Evolution hardcovers. They were promised to a local game store but they cut their order in half at the last minute. So now we're offering them to fans and supporters. We are selling the books for $25 CDN each. This limited print run will also...

As the GSL now permits it, and considering we are moving into Pathfinder soon, we here at DEM have decided to allow customers the opportunity to stroll down memory lane with this piece of novel nostalgia. For only $3.99, you now purchase the original D20 Amethyst, published in 2008. It...

Recently, I began a series of articles on LivingDice.com involving copyright infringement and internet piracy. It concerns a report that Amethyst was being distributed via certain websites, which led to a specific forum, where I began a dialogue with the users there. Part 1 and 2 are already...

Louis-Philippe Simoneau sent me these essential techan characters. These are some of the coolest character sheets I've ever seen. The artwork is borrowed from various artists. If you have played Amethyst, are thinking of playing Amethyst, or if you're curious how the modern rules work for...

I wanted to wait until I had the second prototype in my hand before I posted again. Alas, it did not arrive this Friday, meaning we are backed up at least until Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday in BC. Grrrr. One thing I can report is the upcoming price point for the Amethyst Evolution...

Have you read Amethyst - Evolution? It actually follows the current 4E design philosophy, even to the point of offering Essentials classes. As I've stated with many people, the 4E design philosophy has never altogether defined, especially since WOTC themselves seems to have broken it from time...

Amethyst: Evolution is now for SALE People may wonder (and I have been already asked a few times) why I'm only charging $9.99 for Amethyst Evolution, despite is impressive size and quality (170 pages). I'm taking a lead from the creator of Gratuitous Space Battles (an independent game). He...
