[QUOTE="Paradigm, post: 3722841, member: 2802"] Hello all, There has been a lot of good information as regards Arcanis in this thread already. I would just like to add some information: Year of Ill Harvest, which is a great place to begin your Arcanis adventures has a street date of October 15. Some Arcanis fans have a few of our advance copies that were available at Origins and GenCon. Arcanis is a setting that highlights moral questions. For example, the Codex Arcanis (our bestselling setting book) was designed with that very idea in mind. Each chapter of the Codex details an individual nation and each was written from that nation's point of view. Therefore, the same event will be told from two (or more) points of view. Also, unlike most fantasy settings the Gods are not portrayed in absolute black and white. The Gods handed down their commandments thousands of years ago and men have translated them into other languages, interpreted as they see fit, and in some cases possibly perverted them into profane mockeries of what once was. Arcanis [I][B]is[/B][/I] already human dominated. It will require little work to extract the non-humans if you so choose, though I think you may really enjoy the unusual treatments of the nonhuman races. An additional benefit is that Arcanis remains a going concern and one can expect more Arcanis titles in the future. [/QUOTE]
