Just a quick note: The Kickstarter campaign for the Myth & Magic Player's Guide ends in 5 1/2 days. Backers get 1) donor-access to the rules after the KS ends, 2) a pdf of the rules and a pdf of the Player's Journal one month before the general public, 3) the first level of Dwimmermount and a...

The Kickstarter has been going very well. As Papercut said above, I've been pretty swamped and haven't had much time to come around and provide updates for those of you that may be on the fence or are just starting to consider pledging. We have only 11 days left. We're inching up on 350%...

Kickstarter Update: We're approaching 250 backers with 18 days to go! As a lil' thank you, we're giving all backers of the project a free Myth & Magic Player's Journal. (Think deluxe PC sheet, campaign log and rules references). The cover is a painting from Clyde Caldwell that captures his style...

Kickstarter Update: We're approaching 9K and we can confirm that Doug Kovacs has joined the list of interior artists. At this point, we have Clyde Caldwell, Doug Kovacs, Jason Walton, Rob Lopatto, Jessica Safron, John Lofregen and Matt Geerling. We're working on a few more special guests ;)...

Hi gamers! We at New Haven Games are very excited to reveal the first of several TSR-era "iconic" artists that will appear in the Myth & Magic Player's Guide: Clyde Caldwell. He is, sincerely, one of the most personable and professional artists with which we have dealt. You can expect at...

Just a quick update. The Kickstarter for the Myth & Magic Player's Guide was funded in a few days, so it's "on like Donkey Kong", as they say. We're a stone-throw from achieving the first stretch goal: the commissioning of one or two AD&D-era artists for some interior illustrations. I'm just...

Thanks Mach1 for posting this and thanks trance for your interest. We hit 50% in 22 hours! I know there are a lot of 2E fans out there (and 3E-lite fans as well). Check it out. We really appreciate any support you can lend to the project. And thank you to all the backers to date!

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to drop a note that the Kickstarter to help launch Myth & Magic has gone live. We've been working on this game for a few years now and have built a community equally charged to make Myth & Magic an amazing redux of 2E. We hope you consider backing. Check it out...

As another point of clarification to a reader, mach1 is correct that elves had infravision along with dwarves in 2e, but that did not translate into Myth & Magic. That's his gripe. A few members house-ruled that in easy enough though. Great point Mach1. I just wanted to make it clear what the...

Hey Mach1, thanks for looking at the game. Just to clarify, elves do not have darkvision and the 2E characteristics of the races were retained almost wholesale. The one thing that we did change though was infravision. The bestial races (monsters) have it, but the dwarves have darkvision in its...

That's a great point regarding the hopeful increase in AD&D-related material for the OSR, although it does exist and we do all share certain gaming mechanics so that interchanging OSR sources is doable. The companies who own the games you mentioned have done a great job and 3rd party support...

I'm envisioning my gaming group: I have two players that started playing in 3.5. One that started in 4e. Two that started with me in 2e and one that started before that. If WotC can actually create a game where each player at my table can create the type of character he or she wants to play...

Positive. Even as an OSR publisher, I am earnestly rooting for this one. Can't pinpoint my feelings here, but I'm just behind this more than I thought I would be. D&D is the game I grew up with. Took a few weird twists and turns along the way, but I feel somewhat obligated to at least hope...

Hey ZoneTrooper, I'm not sure if you're still pondering which system to play, but stop over at our site. Myth & Magic is an update to 2E. There are some 3E/Pathfinder influences, but the tone is much more 2E and it lacks a bunch of the bloat you'll find in the newer editions. You can download...

Hi gamers! For those of you unfamiliar with our new game, Myth & Magic is a fantasy RPG built from the 2nd Edition rules. Some gamers have plugged the system into the retro-clone box while other gamers categorize the system as a modern and cleaner approach to 2E. A small (yet growing) third...

Hello Hi, I actually wrote the game. We caught wind at the forum that someone put this up. (The poster is thanked, but has nothing to do with us or the project.) We'll draft up a full press release now. It was our intent to do one soon anyway. This sort of lit the fire under us, so to speak...

Absolute Absurdity Self-aggrandizement aside, LoneWolf, I'm a U.S. Attorney and MBA, so listen up. I'm not giving you legal advice (although I have a fairly strong opinion as to the strength of your claims); I'm merely offering you friendly advice: Back Off! My clients protect their IP to...

Hi everyone, We've just released Greenbaum's Prison: A Trip to Hell in print and in .pdf through rpgnow.com. Tom Ryan, the author (that's me), ran the module in conventions before the launch and the feedback was phenomenal. To make sure everyone has a chance to play this thing, it's half price...

Hi, I'm looking for an editor for a quick look at a project I'm launching. Although this is an unpaid gig (concerning a free eCommunity release), I'd be willing to negotiate ongoing terms. Please contact me at tomryan@lichhavengames.com. Thanks in advance.

I noticed this forum a bit late, it seems. 1) There's a bit too much "sour grapes" here. Not a single one of you judged that competition and that's probably because all three judges are personally responsible for certain products in the Paizo line, if not all of them. All 32 items are just fine...
