[QUOTE="JollyRB, post: 5089089, member: 25322"] HackMaster Basic (and the upcoming Advanced HackMaster books) is a totally new and revamped system. Old school in feel but lots of new innovations/departures. Much of the attitude/humor is still in the rules but it's a gritty no-nonense combat system/game. Should be plenty of reviews out there. You can also swing by the kenzerco boards where we have a very active community of fans. Frandor's Keep is loosely based on the original HM4e module but is set ten years later after Orcs overran the area, occupied the Keep and were recently expelled. Humans have set up shop again in the area and are struggling to regain control and pacify the region. I forget the page count at the moment (140 pages?) about half the book deals with the Keep itself. The rest is devoted to about a dozen adventure opps in the immediate area. A sequel (Mines of Chaos) that ties into the mini setting is already in the works. In fact we've been playtesting the adventures going into that book over the last year or so. BTW anyone interested in the four new Aces and Eights (western rpg) books coming out next month check my other videos on Youtube. I posted flip thrus on those as well. There's some GREAT stuff in the pipe. We spent much of 2009 developing HackMaster and new product and we're very excited the flood gates have finally opened. Going to be a very interesting year for HackMaster fans. Next up is the the hardback full color tome, Hacklopeida of Beasts for Advanced HackMaster. We hope to post some previews of the layout in the coming days. [/QUOTE]
